    If you guys are worried about wasting time, then maybe spec work isn't the best idea.

    it's a bit worrying that they are still eliminating entries even when it's been withdrawn

    @angrypuppy:

    If the company does in fact steal a logo posted here than the designer has the right to force FXTRADE to hault use of the logo due to automatic copyright laws when an original graphic is posted. I'm not accusing FXTRADE of anything, for the record, but rather just making a remark.

    Sad to see this contest has closed.

    I quit this one the last time they held it. Its not that they feel the quality is bad. There are amazing designers here. Its just that they found one to copy from.. Big prize contests do ot seem to pan out 90 percent of the time.

    All I have to say is that the logos he said he "quite likes" isn't any better than a lot of logos in this contest. He also held two other contests on 99 Designs with a prize of $500 and neither of those winning designs beats out the majority of the designs in this contest.

    I guess the CH just felt by increasing the payout from $500 to $1000 he would get twice the quality?

    A lot of wasted hours for me. :(

    The contest holder is out of patience...lacks some sense as to probable inflow of beautiful ideas AFTER a day or two...and, may be 99designs is just too good for him. He's need of a grade Z style, which obviously he wont come across here at 99designs. The contest holder lacks minimum sense yet again to actually failing to at least thank the designers here for their effort and hard work. Boy, and you speak about quality! Don't you think you are the wrong person to speak about nice things such as "quality"?

    I agree with metatad; this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and dierespects designers.

    Please, 99 design, bann this kind of CH: just after 1 day, he says the quality isn't good for him... this is a behavior without respect for professionals.
    We aren't here to waste time...

    Sorry, we are withdrawing this contest as we don't feel the overall quality of the logos is relative to the prize on offer.

    Hi everyone, thanks for the submissions so far. Some general feedback...

    1. We are looking for a more modification on the logotype.
    It is not essential that the logo includes an icon. If it doesnt, then the "F", "X" or "FX" will need to be customized as we will be using that instead.

    2. Generic icons that you could find at a logomaker or logo template store will likely be eliminated because it's something we could do ourselves for $100.

    3. Please try to avoid logos that are too tall or the wrong colour for our site.
    You can check our website colours and basic logo dimensions here: http://www.fxtradejapan.com/web/toppage_rd.gif

    4. Different style logos of competitors that we quite like:

    http://www.fx-zero.co.jp/

    Thanks again and good luck
