    Please take this ongoing fight elsewhere. We're not interested. It is negatively impacting our view of the designers involved and other designers that continue to comment.

    We are granted an extension of our review period. With that time we are assessing ways to refine various logos. We will buy the submission with the best concept, not necessarily the best complete design.

    Good luck.

    Pafl3a:
    1st- you are very wrong about my location. And, do we know each other so that you would make such remarks?
    2nd- what's got to do that comment regarding a so called "felon area" with the design matters?
    You are simply a newbie who borrowed an idea completely and claimed it as your own. Now, who's the one to start that "childish events"?
    As for the threats, let me say it this way,in public:
    I would be really glad if this community of designers would be spared of your presence here. We really don't need this kind of "designers"...change your way to design or better put, i think you should start design your own ideas and let everyone else live their lifes.

    I am an old member here and i really know that this is not the way to treat these matters. But right now i really don't care if i am being carried away by the facts or not.

    a normal man wold just ask to withdraw the design, but i see Ulahts like to arguate with anybody, i know you are from Bucharest, Romania, but still please let away that felon behaviour from that area
    and agen .... please! STOP threatening on private messages
    thanks, and sorry for inconvenience

    you're wrong Pafl3a, the CH does NOT have all the right to ask anything because he's paying. he doesn't own ulaht's design, he hasn't purchased it. it doesn't belong to him, so he DOESN'T have the right to ask you to put it on your text, and you don't have the right to use it either. Does he have the right to use the AT&T logo since he's paying? how about the Pepsi logo, since he's paying? you get the point? You really have a lot to learn about copyright infringement. You should do the right thing and withdraw that entry.

    And, i have responded accordingly, i have submitted, you ranked it and then nothing.
    Anyway, it's your choice but take a look on the comments here, i am not the only one saying the same thing, so i guess my attitude is in the business limits.

    No, #91 is wonderful.

    I only meant that many designs are similar. I lead from there to say that all the ruckus around copying was a bit aggressive given the reality of how similar most designs are.

    Your design does stand out. It was obviously copied. But the reality is for every other good design here, most were a rephrasing of an earlier idea. Getting so excited about "copying" seemed a bit much.

    Regarding the "PM" advice. Sure, that might have been good. But I did write comments to you directly here. I did follow them up with comments again to you and to Pafl3a. To be frank, if you can't be bothered to follow the contest closely and to monitor ongoing comments - why is it the CH's responsibility to contact you?

    I am paying, why is it my responsibility to chase you? Seems to me that if you want the money, it should be you makes the effort to keep up. I've made the effort to offer guidance and suggestions.

    I've seen other competitions where designers are begging for feedback. I tried hard to give thorough feedback in this contest - but, it seems you ignored it, at least until you got pinched.

    Be careful where you give up and take responsibility. It speaks volumes about your credibility and reflects, in a significant and financially tangible way, on your value to my company as a designer.

    You should have contacted me personally about this situation. It's not the first time this situation occurs to me, in fact i have lost in the past a few contests where a "teaser" entry of my high ranked designs won and the contest holder said - as you already did:"New contest holders, like me, probably don't get the nuance and minor issues you all seem so familiar with." That's why i and everybody else posted that.
    ____

    Maybe i over reacted, thus my apologies for that, but at least a PM would have been a benefit for both of us and could have stopped this "small" disturbing discussion.
    Regarding your discovered similarities, i don't understand what you are trying to convey here sift, that, anyone could have come up with such a "common" idea as my #91?

    Thank you and my apologies if i sounded too rough.
    ____

    @ThePupetMaster, well #90 is too much even for me ;)) Thanks very much though.
    Thank you everybody for the support.

    OK. Unreal...

    The few of you in a tizzy about this should remember you are professionals and dealing with corporate clients. New contest holders, like me, probably don't get the nuance and minor issues you all seem so familiar with. A better plan might be to send a note, preferably proof-read, and get on with it. Whining like this erodes your credibility.

    Obviously Pafl3a replayed ulahts' design. Yes, I wrote Pafl3a and included ulahts and posted publicly that I like that font that Pafl3a used and ulahts'. What's the problem?

    #91 needs a new font - I wrote ulahts' about it. Everyone I ask agrees. If I buy that design, I have to get work done to fix the text. I liked the direction Pafl3a was going.

    Please compare #209, #172 and #156 - similar no? And ulahts' in the middle.

    Terry, look at #130 and tell me #132 doesn't look fairly similar.

    Most of the designs in this competition fall into maybe four general looks. Looking at other contests, I expected this.

    So, quit being hypocrites, recognize that this sort of thing happens all the time (in my business and in yours), and wait until something is really at stake (like cash on the table) before making a mountain out of something too obvious to deserve more than a post here and a note to me (CH).

    Ulahts, I wouldn't take him too seriously. He's probably some immature 10 year old with no idea
    how this works. His comment(s) were SO outrageous and stupid that they actually made me laugh.
    The staff here should start banning people permanently.

    I agree with midknyte, the contest holder should have contacted Ulahts directly to make the
    modifications.
