- Brief Summary

Alright folks, here we go with our second contest on 99 designs! The first one was a lot of fun and saw some great work, lets see if the designers can top that!
Now that we have a logo, we’re looking to plaster it everywhere! Okay, maybe not everywhere, but you get the point. We now need a stationary suite that includes the articles listed below. Before getting into the details of the request, here’s a quick overview of who we are to give you a feel for us. Reach out with any questions and best of luck to everyone!
You can download the logo file here for use on the stationary: http://s207020991.onlinehome.us/Bulb_left_black.zip

Hi Matthew. Thanks for the comment, the link seems to be working for me. Perhaps there was some sort of glitch earlier. Copy and paste this link into your browser: http://s207020991.onlinehome.us/Bulb_left_black.zip
The download should begin automatically. Let me know if this does not work. You can PM me your e-mail and I can e-mail it to you as well.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks,

1) 2-Sided Business Card
2) Letterhead
3) Envelope
4) Folder
5) PowerPoint Slides
All this for ONLY $200, I think this is not enough, AND BELOW THE LEVEL.
I think ur looking for creativity and a professional work then u should bay for it.

Or "pay" even ;)
You are right popartartist, 200$ is below standards.
CH you should increase the prize to get valuable entries. -

Popartartist and Project, thank you for your comments. I started with $200 because I've seen many contest here at that level and $150 with all my requests (execept for the PowerPoint and wallpaper). At the time time I launched this contest, $200 was the highest prize.
To stay within the boundaries of what I've seen - which as been some high quality entries - I've raised the prize to $250 and the PowerPoint and wallpaper are now optional.
Thank you much for your candor!

NOTE TO ALL DESIGNERS: CONTEST BRIEF CHANGE!
I spoke with a friend of mine who held a similiar contest and the winning entry for him had a folder, I did not realize all others did not have a folder. So that said, if you re-read the brief, half of the original items are now OPTIONAL. Could help break a tie as the winner in the other contest did.
What is now required, or being asked for: business card, letterhead, envelops, wallpaper (see brief for specs)
OPTIONAL: powerpoint slides and folder (the folder is quite a bit of work and I did not recognize that).
Thanks,

The measurements are in inches and I converted the logo to .psd from .ai. If I get permission from Coach Johnson, I can upload it.

Great, this price is more reasonable. Folders, especially, can be complicated and time consuming, definately would have taken a design who is skilled in folders. Look forward to submitting.

Hi Malo, those two are optional.
Folder: Looking for a folder design, like your regular school folder that goes in a trapper keeper. See brief for dimensions.
PowerPoint: Create a template for a presentation (cover slide and body slide).
Again, these are optional items for the kit.
Winning entry must have business card, envelopes, letterhead, and wallpaper.
Thanks,

GREAT contest everyone! Not one submission came thru that was not of quality. Thank you to everyone for your time and effort, I really do appreciate all the passion that came across.
Unfortunately, there can only be one winner monetarily, but you all are winners in my eyes.
Congrats to Project and Sandman on making it to the top two! We'll be deciding between the two entries. Any thoughts from you all on who should win and why?

This is a race to the wire. Really like the work both Sandman and Project have displayed. At the moment the advisory board and myself are leaning towards Project's entry #79.
We'll have to see the final edits by Project and compare again.
Both of these last entries by the two are superb and five out of five stars. Unfortunately there can only be one declared winner.
Project is winning by a hair at this point, the wallpapers by Sandman are making it really tough to count him out along side the rest of his great stationary work.

Wow!
This was a GREAT contest. Lots of entries, but by far Project and Sandman went toe to toe here. Sandman stormed back and surprised us with a last minute entry that is great. Project has dazzled us all along. Will need to take some time to make the decision. A winner of some sort will be declared, rest assured all this hard work is not going to waste. I am more than satisfied, so is my advisory board, we just have a tough decision.
If you follow the NBA, I feel like John Paxson (I'm from Chicago by the way -- Go Bulls). Do I go with Rose or Beasley? If you don't follow what I'm saying, I'm pretty much saying I can't pick both, but there is no clear cut winner, both are AWESOME.
Will be back will comments soon!

Alright, another one is in the books! This was a very tough decision. Hats off to both Sandman and Project for making it such a tight contest. I apologize for the delay, but with the holiday yesterday and the advisory board being split and switching back and forth, it took some time. We couldn't be happier with both options we had or the choice we finally made.
Sandman, you did great work here, as you did with JamBuzzer. You are truly a talented designer who goes the extra mile and we thank you for your time, effort, revisions, and all else.
Project, you wowed us each step of the way. Delivered great service and designs, and we thank you greatly for the work you did that will leave so many lasting impressions. You're creative use of the bulb from a branding standpoint is ultimately what won this contest for you. Well deserved.
Really wish I could award both of you, but we had to go with one. Congrats to you both, especially our winner, Project!
