Notice that I pasted our competitor logo there (D2D), so of course that logo needs to be removed and our logo placed there. We don't really want to clone it, but its style fits that design very nicely. So anyway, some guideline at least.
Thank you,

Diamond Contest
We're sorry, but this contest is presently open to a limited pool of designers.
hehe i just got an email saying "new contest holder comment for 'GameWatcher' " and i thought 'huh, i dont remember entering a contest with that name =\'
Yeah sorry! I didn't knew if I should laugh or cry when I saw those Kres7787 samples :\
And guys / girls, can you PLEASE upload your samples over the sample design that is in the contest description? I can't really judge a design outside the spot where it will stand in the design. So I would really need to see it implemented in that sample. As my main goal is to get a logo that will look good with our design.
we are not allowed to upload images that have any sort of background image, its against the site rules (put in place to keep the community folio uniform and clean) the best we can do is upload the logo with the orange colour as the background.
if its a huge problem i suggest you email the site admin (go to "Help" -> "Contact Us")
Ah I see. Ok I've sent a complaint to LT :) :( not sure why that's the case since that was something that I was most looking forward to. I can copy paste your orange samples I guess, but also thought somebody could adjust the shape of the logo area of the design for the need of the logo. Now, that option is not possible. So a bit disappointed honestly. :\
quoting the brief "To blend in with it. So I am not looking for a logo that will look good on itself, but not look good when placed in the logo spot on top of the page design." I think you may need to edit this part?:)) Reading your brief and thinking hmmm but surely the logo should be able to look good on its own and on the site? thinking a bit more your maybe after a strong logo that has to stand above the high amount of artwork from the all the other game titles etc? am I right? something that could work on the cover of a game itself occupying the space well?

it is in your best interest no to eliminate all the designs..with over 9 days to go..I can assure no designer will enter when they see this contest with only 1 designer entered especially if that designer is Offbeat and all other designs marked Not Interested"
There were good examples by other designers but I was mostly interested in what Offbeat did so far. So I didn't wanted to have anybody waste their time if I don't think that pushing their idea would work.
I still need to see if Offbeat can do something that we're talking about.
And if somebody else wants to give it a try in the meanwhile they're free to do so. I did prepay $400 for this contest, not knowing what will be made. So any good designer with a good idea has good chances of winning this contest. It's not important to me who he/she is.
