brainclicksLogo Design Contest

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage more participation.
~~ Ranking designs daily will also keep your contest from getting cluttered.
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you are going to see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested"
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ At contest close you will need to have 3 different designers ranked in the top three positions.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

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

Nancy, Thanks for the very informative link. We will make sure to provide as much feedback as possible and to provide fair ranking for designers for their hard work!

We do try to convey the idea of a brain and the mechanisms that go on inside, but without actually showing a brain (or anything else that is too much "in your face"). One idea may be too start from the beautifully coloured brainbow images of neurons (just google images of brainbow) and turn them into a logo. Quite curious if possible...

Some possible source for finding interesting ideas for our logo is to check visual illusions, see for example:

Not sure if any of these will work with logo, just an idea.

Just a quick note to all designers: we kept only the most interesting variants from everybody that submitted an entry and moved the rest to "not interested". That doesn't mean we don't appreciate your efforts, we really do!!! And we are very happy with the results so far. It just helps us keeping an eye on the most promising ones. Looking forward to the submissions for the last 2 days!
