The Bullpen at Golden BeltLogo Design Contest

We are excited to start receiving entries. Thank you for your interest!

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

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.
~~ Ranking gets your contest noticed! Unless your contest is Private, 1st place entries are posted to the portfolio page: https://logotournament.com/portfolio
~~ Leave private feedback by clicking on a design. Feedback will be made public upon contest completion.
~~ When you provide feedback to designers, you increase the chances of getting the logo you want. More feedback = better results!
~~ 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.
~~ Designers earn points for designs ranked 1st - 10th. We like to earn points.
~~ 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.

Some global comments:

Bullpen as we are using it, has no reference to actual pens. A bullpen is an area that is shared by others. We are setting up small workspaces for people to rent by the hour, by the week, or by the month. They can setup their small business, without all of the traditional overhead of having their own office. So they have use of telephones, copiers, fax, supplies, etc.

A traditional way to "mark" or "brand" a bull, is to use a hot branding iron. This could be a possible technique for our logo.

We want to present our shared workspace areas as being cool, hip, fun and creative. We do not want to be seen as corporate. Have fun with the logo. Entice people to come check out our spaces.
