Hi Crazy catch, thanks so much for your feedback, I have debated this in the forum with the other designers, is a fishing hook generic enough for your contest and it seems that the opinion was reached that unless you specifically requested sammy to use a fishing hook then the concept of the hook is his to protect. Logo Tournement is a tough enough environment for a designer and we all want to win but we must respect each others concepts and designs, it is only fair that you ask sammy to develop the hook concept in a direction to your liking, All the elements I use were asked by yourself in the initial brief so yes you can ask sammy to be more like my logo but unfortunaly I cant go in his direction,
I shall see if I cant come up with my own unique concepts
Thanks Brendan
