sorry guys
nothign really jumped out at me for this contest
i wanted something that was an improvement on our current logo, and fit in with the icon design already on our site
and from what i can see here noone has really nailed the brief or shown anything really creative
so unfortunately i cant select a winner and ive wasted my money
sorry for anyone who put time into this
perhaps i will try write up a more detailed brief and raise the money to $500 (i already raised it to $350 for $250 in the hopes of attracting some really good designs)

thanks again and sorry there wasnt a better result
