Constructions Beauchamp&DrapeauLogo Design Contest

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

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion
~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked 1st - 10th. We like to earn points.
~~ After your contest closes it will enter Judging phase. You can re-rank designs in Judging.
~~ While in Judging, the designer ranked in first place can submit revisions

We don’t mind have buildings in the logo. However, more than half of the commercial renovation companies here have a city skyline in their logos.

I was thinking today to explore the buildings idea in another dimension: trough architecture drawings symbols (golden ratio, cross-section, etc); more in terms of inspiration for an abstract (or pictorial) mark than a direct reference to an architect’s firm.

I look forward for your proposals, and wish to interact with you to make a great logo.

"We MUST own 100% of all rights related to the logo once we have paid for it. We will request a written contract certifying that we own all intellectual property and neighboring rights. "
-------------------------------------------------------------

This is automatically done through Logo tournament, once you chose a winner and finalize the contest. You receive a statement regarding this from Logo Tournament and subsequently the Designer also receives a statement that the design has been legally released to you.

The designer does retain the right to display the winning entry in his or her portfolio either , print, web or other media such as Cd, DVD etc.

Here is an example of the release agreement from LT
