Brackets on the sides of 'fliks' look rather limiting and we all know that possibilities on the Internet are unlimited, that's why we eliminated nearly all entries with side-brackets.

We'd love to see some darker badge-style logos and if the logo leaves some space for additional small-print text (for full company name like "Fliks GmbH" or "Fliks Media (Pty) Ltd." we'd be happy to see more suggestions with this flexibility.

Some information on how rankings work on this site:

How to Rank and Thank Designers: When it comes time for final rankings, designers appreciate when you choose the top three CONCEPTS (as opposed to variations of the same design) for the gold, silver and bronze awards. If you want to rank two different concepts by the same designer in the top three, that's fine.
Also, rank as many entries as possible, because designers get points added to their overall site standing for each blue ribbon they get.

This is how points are distributed:

1st place - 50 points
2nd place - 20 points
3rd place - 10 points
4-6th place - 5 points
7-10 place - 3 points

After that, each ranked entry gets one point for the designer. Nobody will be insulted by being ranked last, the points are still good! So if you pull some entries out of the "Not Interested" group and give them a rank, the designer gets some benefit from entering your contest.

Hope that's helpful, lots of contest holders don't realize this and most are glad to know. It's a good way to thank designers who don't win the contest prize, but who worked very hard to offer you lots of options to choose from for a great logo.

#45 was one of our favourites, but a moderator decided that it was too similar to the picture http://www.coffeeday.com/freshnground/images/coffee_day_logo.gif which I think is ridiculous. Of course they are similar, but there's some substantial difference: The bow of the fliks draft ended in the corner, while coffeeday.gif has a border on top and a completely different shadowing/finish.

Moderators: please allow this Entry to take part and unblock it!

Hello, everyone,

First: many thanks for all the great work - the winning entry was now one of the first favourites delivered, but it was not an easy choice (you may have noticed the lag in our decision - sorry for that!).
Then: thanks not only for a logo design but also for a lot of useful thoughts generated while the contest lasted - i guess we're a bit better aware now of our business, our image and how it can be described.

We do hope that it was a satisfying contest for you too - we were a bit overwhelmed sometimes from the creative input which is given here, and maybe that was recognizeable ;o)

Again, thanks a lot, and thanks especially to tankdesign, who did a great job here.
