Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
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. ~~ Ranking is a non-monitary means of showing apprecaition 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
I thank all of you for so many great choices. I do like the blue, but am surprised no one has tried a "castle" in a really hot color to represent the "bright"..spent some time yesterday with some close business friends who were taken with the more subtle castle representations..not necessarily color , but like #70 and #82..that is why you may have seen my tastes shift "smaller"..thanks..Niles
Most of the newest entries have BrightCastle as Bright Castle, two separate words..This is a fully operational Delaware LLC registered as BrightCastle..rather unusual , but I like it ...so please correct, as I cannot rank any of those designs some of which are very good , highly..thanks..Niles
Hey guys...for the moment I will be shifting all of the two word logos over to the "uninterested" category because they cannot possibly work..Doesn't mean the designs are not valid..it is possible I may be extending this contest once since it ends at 6 am tomorrow and I don't plan on being as "sleepless" as I was last weekend..that should give designers ample time to correct this isssue..thanks..Niles
All of the peer review I have had ( and these are prominent people in both the design and financial world advise that the castle should be merely representational and not graphically midevil ( my fault for steering you wrong in the beginning) and simple to suggest a modern, hip but very financially stable business..color can be slightly risky as I suggest by my ranking of #107,#111, and #113..so give it a go!..thanks..Niles
Just wanted to thank everyone for terrific creativity and submissions. There were at least 50 of the entries that I wouldn't hesitate to use as my logo. With so many entries . I had a hard time keeping up so if entries ended up in the uninteresting file it was only to clean up a little bit. I did concentrate on trying to develop my top 10 very carefully. In the end I chose simplicity with a touch of elegance. I will be back with more contests in the future and I hope that all of you talented designers will participate..Thanks..Niles
