Patika CoffeeLogo Design Contest

Is there a special meaning to the word Patika that will help us draw some inspiration?

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.
~~ At contest close you will need to have 3 different designers ranked in the top three positions.
~~ Ranking is a non-monetary means of showing appreciation for designers hard work.
~~ Designers earn points for ranked designs. We like to earn points.

1st place - 50 points
2nd place - 20 points
3rd place - 10 points
4-6th place - 5 points
7-10 place - 3 points
10th on - 1 point

Patika Coffee

"Patika" means "path" or "alley" in Turkish. Istanbul was the site of the first coffee houses in the 15th century, and for awhile they were outlawed, because they became too popular. As a result, they set up "underground", so to speak, in back alleys and along quiet paths, where they were out of the way, but still accessible. And the people continued to find them.

It's also a reference to Blue Bottle Coffee, whose first storefront location is on a small alley in Hayes Valley. Where, despite the out of the way location, because their product is so good, people find them, and there are lines down the alley while they sell coffee from under a garage door.

That, to me, is the power of good coffee.

Thanks Andrew. That will be a great help.
