KBRLogo Design Contest

Hi All,

This contest will work like this:
1) I will accept entries for 3 days. Then the contest will go into judging.
2) I will present the concepts to client. This might take a week or so
3) Once I have the client feedback / shortlist I will reopen the contest based on the new information. I will communicate as much feedback as possible then.

Good luck to all!
Tyler

that sounds good to me. It should give us the impetus to come up with our own concepts, and plenty of them(to make shortlist).It will be also interesting to see who enters without the piggybacking of other entries;)

Just a note that gradients/web2.0 is not wanted by this client. Think traditional: flat & solid colors.

Oh, good to know. I was just about to submit my designs... :(

nice one bluejet!

thanks aremmai

any update Tyler?

Ideazen - please read my first message. :)

Tyler is the owner...and he mediates design contest on his own site for certain clients.

V - basically I am accepting entries for a fixed time, then I will close the contest while they are presented. Then I will provide feedback, and reopen it.

This contest is for a friend, and I am running it as a favor.

so why arnt you just running it as normal?

o and how long will it be open for after it has reopened

This is a bit unusual for the owner of this website to hold a contest on this website outside of the contest guidelines. So can other contest holders hold contests like this one? If, "This contest is for a friend, and I am running it as a favor.", that seems strange, your friend should run his own contest within the contest guidelines. Fair is Fair.

Jessica - Could you tell me exactly what guidelines I am breaking? :)

I am running this contest this way to avoid wasted effort. There is no point in this contest taking in entries if the end client might not even see them. The difference between this and other contests is that although I am hosting it, I am not a part of the decision making process other than doing some filtering, giving my opinion, and interacting with all of you.

I would rather Tyler took part in contests personally,
if I know he's offering his experienced personal opinion to the CH
then I know good designers have a better chance, instead of the usual CH or a team of people
picking the prettiest logo to them, instead of the most practical and strongest.
(and our 'friend we love to hate' has less of a chance of copying)

Anyway contest formats are changing soon.

my 2.3 cents

Tyler,
It says in line 17 paragraph 3, that the owner or it's affiliates will not participate in any portion of the decision making... etc.", =P just kidding.

You're the boss, so it's all good.

bluejet, contest formats are changing?

Tyler will let us know when he's done,
and we've had all our rants and discussions in the forum.

Does anyone want me to extend this? They won't get a chance to see anything until Friday anyways, so I could keep it open if any of you had additional designs in mind.

I'll check back later this morning.

I'd love an extension or the ability to submit a revision. I withdrew one design to replace it with revision of design 133 (the revision is best variant yet) and time expired.

Sorry vieo -- I didn't get a chance to come back.

Ok all, thanks for all the great submissions. I think there are a lot of great entries that they will like. I just sent off the entries and we all should hear back next week sometime.

What did everyone think of not having rankings for the initial submission period?

Looks like another "unhealthy" contest. Oops, wrong site. ;-)

Nope this one is very healthy :) Just playing the waiting game with the rest of you.

OK You won

Any news on this?

Wow... is it 2009 yet?

Still no word on this?

any news on this contest yet???

Finally got news that they have selected a winner which I will announce shortly. Some people missed Silver/Bronze because of early withdrawal, but I can understand as this contest seemed dormant.

cool. congrats to the winner and to my first ranking ;)
