Rola RolaLogo 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.

Hello, tamisussman:

We are glad you are here at LogoTournament. It appears that there is confusion as to what is allowable under law, which is what GPdesign was referring to with that link (he was actually speaking to Designers in that comment). Although you cannot see that discussion in that link that he linked to, I'll sum it up here for you.

"TM" means "Trade Mark."
"C" means "Copyright."
"R" means "Registered Trade Mark."

You can use "TM" and "C" without having to go through a process of approval. You can display them *immediately.* But to display the "R" you would have had to go through a lengthy process, about a year on average, with a government office such as the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office)...before you can display it under law. And there is no guarantee that you'll even gain approval to display the "R" mark, unfortunately.

Hopefully, this news does not discourage you, tamisussman. It's posted as a guideline to prevent numerous fines and penalties for yourself, your company, LogoTournament, and LogoTournament's Designers in the future.
