Just came back online and just knew I was logocourted, never made my case there, so I leave the case here. First of all what made my design similar to zennyase aside from the font layout which is fairly used around all other entries is the use of the Cross inside the Circle symbols.

Now all my entries since day 1 and if you look at entry numbers, I used the cross inside circle much much earlier as zennyase, never bother to logocourt anyone with the same cross inside circle layout, as I figured an emblem would have limited layout options. So I decide lets fight it off with execution of design elements.

So now that I was ranked higher, everybody else started voting against me when the font layout was the same? Please look at the designs closely, zennyase's evolution and my evolution, you will see that we have far too different approaches, and if you look my designs evolution is much more natural.

Id like to plead my case here, as the Contest Holder is still asking some revisions, but if the layout of the font is the question, Id gladly lay that off. But I hope you do the same for the cross inside circle...

btw, in zennyase's case in fairness she pm'ed me and never noticed that pm till I checked my e-mail today... I logged in yesterday and never saw the PM bar change while I was scrolling a lot... Just never had the chance to respond to her or on the logocourt...

Designer - contact Ivan and ask them to look at your case. They can re-activate you if they think you've been treated unfairly.

I am reversing the LC only so I can come to a more accurate conclusion.

all of the A-1 font used here almost same.... why only designer brougth to LC?
I become afraid if I follow this contest n use same font will cause me to LC (if I'm in 1st post)

That font was requested by CH, that´s why :)

Update - I have reversed the LC against 'designer'. Reason: the issue is not a copy of the logo itself but of the layout of the text and some elements (which I support). Therefore, in this case the entry in question will remain out of contention.
