Congratulations dementer! Their professional, stylish design will be the new look for Ecreate and we can't wait to get started using it.

What an exciting contest! So many talented designers made this such a difficult decision to make. I'd like to thank everybody for their hard work and brilliant contributions. The four concepts they made it to the final stage of my decision process are shown above. They all followed my brief perfectly, so in the end, it came down to what fit our needs and what we thought we could work with easier.

I have to make special mention to the following people, who contributed terrific designs and made this such a difficult decision:

SebbDesign - I loved the keyboard affect with the Ecreate logo, very cool, great work!

republickadesign - A last minute entry which was almost chosen as the winner.

Thanks to GHOwner, Hustlerdog & nodesigns who all contributed great entries with countless revisions - you guys are champs!

And of course, Wized! Your design is one I still love. It has flare, style, professionalism. You're extremely talented mate, and I hope to see you at all of my next contests. Thanks so much for all of your hard work, Wized.
To all you guys I just mentioned, PM me with your contact details.

To everyone else, thanks a million! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and I encourage you all to keep entering contests and learning from the constructive feedback.

Be safe, and happy designing :)

Apparently there is "1 entry awaiting feedback". Does anyone know which entry it is? I thought I provided a rating and feedback for all of them.

Is anyone out there designing something and thinking they might be in need of more time?

Well it looks like I won't be ending this contest early after all, some of these designs are very good. Great work guys (and girls)!

Also, I've said in my brief that I don't want the same stock photography with the typical smiling businessman and his briefcase. This is just an example of my above point. I'm not saying you shouldn't use stock photography at all, even of businessmen, I'm just saying, make sure it's not typical =) I hope this helps guys.

I just wrote this in somebody's feedback but I feel it's something that should be made known to everyone. We're looking for a design with a point of difference. Something that has an edge. ECreate is a different company (we're better) and so we need to appear different. Safe, common designs are good, but think a little outside the square. What has style, professionalism and a simple theme which can be easy to update? Bring something interesting to the table. Sure, there's a risk you could be way off and not win the contest, but this is a chance to do something different, put your artistic skills to their true use - Creativity!

Thanks to everyone who has submitted an entry so far. I hope you all take the time to read the feedback I have provided for the current entries so you have an idea of what I like and don't like in a design. Cheers guys, keep them coming :)

Good luck everyone and happy designing =)

Please keep in mind that I will likely finish this contest early so submit your entires right away (but don't rush your efforts). I wish you all the best!
