Hello to all,
To help move forward, I've only left the 2 concepts / designers that have a real chance. Rest assured everyone, I will put all other distinct concepts / designs back in and rank them when judging time comes so everybody who put in work gets awarded points.
The week-end is here and many of you will want to relax and spend time with your friends and families, but the contest ends on Tuesday. No worries, I will extend it a few days if necessary.
I will be checking entries again late tonight my time (Early evening US time) and again tomorrow during the day.
Just a bit of general feedback for everyone (I will make specific comments on the designs in a second): Keep in mind we are a low cost / "good deals" kind of store. The products we will sell will still be quite good quality, but it's our logistics, supplier selection and "no inventory" policy that will allow us to have very low prices. These are not logos, but please look at:
http://www.mylivingspace.co.uk/images/discount-logo.jpg or
http://mytemplatepackage.net/gifts/MinisiteTemplatesProduct/MiniSitePackSalesletter/images/_discount.gif - some sort of shape like that (I prefer not too regular / geometric, like the 75% one) or even another type of shape as background or somehow integrated in the design could help get that "oomph" and "good deals" feeling we're looking for.
A great week-end to everyone.
-David
