President NationLogo Design Contest

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ You, the Client, are very important! Your active participation is the single greatest factor influencing this contest. Active participation by you, the Client, helps you get the logo design you want!
~~ What's active participation? It's updating the brief with more information for Designers to work with as the contest progresses, providing feedback to Designers on their entries when they're submitted, and ranking designs at least once a day.
~~ When you provide feedback to Designers, you increase the chances of getting the logo you want. More feedback = better results!
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion.
~~ Rank designs at least once each day -- this will encourage Designers to submit more entries!
~~ Ranking prevents your contest from going idle! Active contests attract more Designers.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed. Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Please note: if you're asking for a design that will require several hours to create, to attract Designers willing to invest that amount of time the prize should be at least $400-$500. All "Character" style logos fall into this category.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested." We'd like to know what you don't want so we can give you the design you do want.
~~ The first phase of the contest is the "Open" phase, and everyone can submit during that time.
~~ After your contest's initial "Open" phase closes, it will enter the "Top 5" phase; only the top 5 ranked Designers will be able to submit revisions at that time.
~~ The "Top 5" Designers are the first 5 Designers in a contest, not the first 5 designs.
~~ When "Top 5" ends, the "Judging" phase begins. The Designer of the 1st place design will be the only Designer who can submit revisions at that time.

Don't withdraw your logos before the contest ends as we are always ranking and reranking. If you withdraw your logo then all your entries will be dq.

#21 and #23 look the most like "Facebook Game" logos so far.

Hi All,

The contest holder would like to basically reboot the contest - please look for his adjusted comments in the UPDATES section of this contest.

Please use:
Large thick letters. Lots of detail. We don't want it like a "cartoon" style. Use gradients and lots of character. This game is fun and appeals to hard-core gamers as well as casual gamers alike. Look at the mafia wars logo. It's just typography. This game is more serious than farmville but still we don't want quirky looking letters -- make the type very "presidential" but still thick and full of character.

Google Image search for "Facebook Game Logos" to see the trends and styles of the most popular games.

OK, after seeing several entries, we've decided to abandon the flag lettering. Let's try a presidential font with either a flag background behind the lettering or stars and stripes combination.
Thanks everyone!

As most of you know, logotournament.com has been updated and there are lots of bugs with the new version. We are unable to see any comments that you have left (the emails link to a "page not found"). We are unable to rank any new entries. We are unable to rank any entries that were previously ranked as "not interesting". Therefore this contest is basically disabled.

wim2009 - it looks like you were able to leave comments & rank. Please email me at support@logotournament.com if you have any questions. We still have quite a number of kinks to iron out. The email links will solved shortly.
