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.

I am very grateful to the designers who have begun posting submissions. Just to reiterate, this is a company that appeals to investors and we like a deep, dark blue and dislike primary colors and pastels as secondary colors. Just to clarify, this company is an investment company, but NOT stock market related. Also, in the contest brief, the closest category selection was "Finance & Insurance" but insurance is not a part of our business in any way. Thank you so much for considering submission.
I realize how hard it is to be the first few designers to step out there on the limb and I am grateful to you. While I understand the connection to security, I am not as fond of the images that denote security.
I am so grateful for all of the entries that have come in so far. You all have been busy this weekend. The variety is very helpful for us to consider the various directions that we could go with this company from an image stand point. I will be reviewing these with the key desicion maker shortly and will be ranking more entries but please keep them coming. I am very appreciative of your hard work and the talent dripping from each of you!
