RationizeLogo Design Contest

Very interesting - wondering also if anyone can give a "boot-camp" logo feel to it just to see some examples

I realize I likely started "ranking" too early with all these logos - with fresh ideas coming in/out early, it gives me time to think about what I like or don't like.

Also - the "R" is taking a big place in most of the logos I see and I'd like a lot of the focus to be on the RATIONIZE text itself and/or what goes on around it.

Thank you

Don't worry about it; it's never too early to start ranking and to do it often. I find it helpful to see where everyone stands and the direction to contest is going.

Oviatt Creative - do you think that ranking too early stops creativity or new ideas if people see things going in one direction or another? Just curious and nice to get the other side of the fence's perspective vs. my own. Thanks...

I don't feel that ongoing ranking stops creativity, at least for me. It keeps the contest exciting through the whole process and keeps me on my toes, so to speak. How does everyone else feel about it?

ranking from the very beginning is OK, we see where we are going, and some personal feedback makes things perfect :)

am I getting it wrong? I thought it is about food and rational feeding and health, not about rat-poison or deratisation ? :)

Correct - it's about food, health, and rational eating!

@Desine_Guy: Don't discuss your own designs on this page. Click on one of your designs and it'll take you to your personal page, in which you can discuss entries with the CH.

How to Rank and Thank Designers: When it comes time for final rankings, designers appreciate when you choose the top three CONCEPTS (as opposed to variations of the same design) for the gold, silver and bronze awards. If you want to rank two different concepts by the same designer in the top three, that's fine.
Also, rank as many entries as possible, because designers get points added to their overall site standing for each blue ribbon they get.

This is how points are distributed:

1st place - 50 points
2nd place - 20 points
3rd place - 10 points
4-6th place - 5 points
7-10 place - 3 points
11+ = 1 point
After that, each ranked entry gets one point for the designer. Nobody will be insulted by being ranked last, the points are still good! So if you pull some entries out of the "Not Interested" group and give them a rank, the designer gets some benefit from entering your contest.

Hope that's helpful, lots of contest holders don't realize this and most are glad to know. It's a good way to thank designers who don't win the contest prize, but who worked very hard to offer you lots of options to choose from for a great logo.
