[when i delete an entry it is feedback; feedback saying its not what we want. we are not a mentoring company to teach you how to design logos. if you design something we like we will contact you. that is the benefit of holding contests here.]

Good,
now that that's over, I have a couple of observations to offer sibdevelopment contest holder.

Perhaps the strongest benefit of Sitepoint contests goes to the contest holder who, for the price of... oh, I don't know...say, a round of golf, gets the creative efforts and enthusiasm of dozens of variously talented individuals. It's called "crowd-sourcing". While I could go on about the advantageous imbalance which goes to the contest holder, that is not my point. My real point is that you presume an alot when you say such things as "we are not a mentoring company to teach you how to design logos.". You presume, for example, that you could. There's some exceptional talent here at Sitepoint...

You also presume you know the purpose of actual feedback which is meant not to "teach" us peons but rather, to take full advantage of Sitepoint's format. There is a wonderful synergy which is typically achieved when there is cooperation between the contest holder and the contest participants. Cooperation in the form of dialogue. That synergy is not restricted to th contest holder and a single entrant but often involves the contest group at large. There's no telling how much you've missed out on by not entering into that process. (No, I'm not saying that Zenius's design is not the perfect solution for your needs. But I am talking about options.) One would never hire a single designer or studio, put a design task before them and suppose that your brief was so thorough, so cleverly succinct, or so obvious, that you would not have to engage in dialogue with them.

Well, there you have it. (I'm sure I've left some loose ends dangling.) Do I presume to teach you a thing or two? Perhaps. Or maybe I'm just being reactionary against what seem to be dismissive and superior remarks.

I've said this before, "it's all about respect". Show a little and get an powerful lot in return.

Hearty congrats Zenius!

he means he's telling us which he likes in the feedback.

i think that's against the rules....same as we can't send you entries by private message.

anyway, no personal message from you means that it's not in consideration?

I'm the heck outta here for sure...no respect by the contest holder.

[quote]The contest holder has eliminated this entry from consideration[/quote]
It would help all the designers here if you'd give feedback .vs just eliminating their designs.
Thanks a hell of a lot.

This being only a 7-day contest, it needs more feedback.

what kind of development is your company in??

Ashtur1,I realize you didnt copy my design since they were a minute apart from posting. But it is the same and since i got mine up first you should remove it. Thanks.

Ashtur1, Your design is almost the same as mine. Since mine was first you should delete it.
