Great design! It has the font and the visual impact I asked for in my example in my brief. The colors and sparkle say "POW!" The accent image gives the logo character.
Thank you!

Well the font is the same, but I said I wanted that font from saying I like the perez hilton logo, and thats the font PH uses.

If I say I like a font then theres not much I can do, every logo who uses that font will look similar, and Ill just have to pick the version I like the best.

Im not a designe rmyself, but I feel that the styles are similar but the feel is different.
I think JT's is glamorous and a little edgy with the little caveman, while Emanuel's is very clean and neat.

Im not deciding yet, but have it down to about 6 that I like

Lots of nice choices. nothing has totally grabbed me yet that I want to select it and close the contest yet, so keeping it open to see more new entries.

is the rating what I think of the logo, or how likely I am to select it?
There are logos I would rate high, but I wont pick them for this job.

It seems that the designs I like are more simple and easy to read. I dont like too cluttered with tons of stuff all over them.
I like people to remember the name of the site and any other designs to be more the accent.

I keep going back to the perez hilton logo in my brief. It looks so glamorous and the lettering is so bold, like my site would be an important site.

Great entries.
Btw, if I dont like something is it ok to say I dont like it?

I dont want someone to keep working on something that I wont pick and waste their time. But on the other hand I dont want to be rude or hurt someones feelings. Because I think youre all amazing to do these good works so fast. I could never do these designs lol.
