@leangabot thanks for pointing this out. Design #1 in this contest was entered a full day before the other design for contest 7883. How is a situation like this handled in this community?
Also, the entry from julaika #37 for our contest, and #48 for another contest, which are essentially the same design with very minor adjustments. I checked the other contest and julaika has many entries using that same design with a small variation. It seems wrong for a designer to reuse designs this way for multiple contests.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks to all the designers who have submitted thoughtful, professional, unique designs into this competition. Other than the obvious problems, we are happy with the quality of the entries.

And for entries like #37 I think there is a countless of logos with that concept of stylized people in the circle from above. But they are not new, they are copies of ubuntu logo : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ubuntu_Logo.svg

Both neuromancer and leangabot need to read the designer guidelines again: http://99designs.com/help/designer/guidelines
This is not the forum for your issues with each other.

Hey, whoever's posting NO-SPEC logos everywhere...in the nicest possible way...sling it!!! I've never been quite so enraged, by a group of seemingly pompous design professionals who have banded together under the banner of this pseudo-guerilla organisation to allegedly protect their beloved industry.
I've been a design professional working in international advertising and design agencies in London for nearly 12 years. Now on the freelance path, trying to grow my own business, I often rely on sites such as 99Designs, not merely for potential income, but also as a base to generate ideas and cross-pollinate thinking with other creatives during 'leaner' periods when regular clients and freelance agencies aren't so busy (such as now, coming up to the end of the financial year when everyone is tightening belts and budgets are practically runnning on vapour).
You cite the fact that designers potentially receive no recompense for their efforts, but yet this is no different to a agencies pitching against one and other for clients, unless you happen to be working back in the 1980's when agencies used to charge for pitches. Designers don;t have to submit work, nor are they tied into doing so to be a member of the website.
You also cite the lack of a 'client-designer' face-to-face relationship harmful to the industry and its standards. However, having worked with several clients from this site, via email and mobile phone, I've had a very clear understanding of the requirements of the brief and the client's expectations. Conversely, the clients have also understood the rationale of my work through clear writing and communication.
All in all, and given that most of the soundbites on the NO-SPEC website come from professionals based within design groups, it strikes me that sites such this have got agencies worried, and too bloody right they should be. They've been overcharging clients for years and this is the backlash.
If businesses are voting with their feet and seeking cheaper design through the internet, perhaps you should ask whether or not the design agencies and their professionals actually have a desirable product any more. And remember, cheaper rates, doesn't have to mean 'cheaper' work.

Ya'know, this isn't really the place for this- but i wish the designers would act more professional- that includes language, and stealing other people's work. I can say with confidence that probably 50% of the so called 'designers' using 99 designs rip logo concepts from other designers and already well established entities in order to make a buck. It's wrong- and enough's enough, i'm notifying 99 designs and requesting they start black listing designers with complaints raised against them.

Thanks for all the design entries. The contest will be closing soon, and we are heading into a weekend, so I will announce the award winner mid-day Tuesday, 10 June after we are able to meet as a group and determine our final choice. Thanks for being patient until we can make this decision.

Hi designers. Just an update to let you know our decision process is getting closer. We've had a very tough time deciding among such varied entries, but will announce a winner tomorrow. I've eliminated those designs that are no longer in the running, but we have to get one more round of input for the final six entries. Thanks for your patience.
