With one day left in the contest, just to recap where we are:
1. Thanks folks for all the submissions - I appreciate your work!
2. I like the solid designs of the dog - in line with our original design uploaded as a reference. There were some interesting explorations of embedding / overlaying a stock chart on the dog symbol, notably submissions #3 and #11. While interesting, I feel that they make the dog look a little weird - alien. Unless you guys can come up with some cool novel executions for it, the approach so far is not a winner.
3. The dog bringing news / newspaper / stock chart seems most promising, and reflects well the site motto: "fetching data for intelligent investors". I am looking forward to refined executions of this concept. Some pitfalls to avoid there are making the paper look either like a bone or a computer keyboard.
4. In the site name, stockPup, I like to have the visual focus on "stock", rather than "pup". After all, this site is about investing - not about dogs.
You can see further feedback under specific designs. Let me know if there are questions, and good luck on the final stretch of the contest! While there were some solid designs submitted already, it is not too late to try new things or refine the existing ones! Thanks!
