TheUnblinkingEyeLogo 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.

I like the results so far! In the case of the logos eliminated from consideration, I have tried to provide specific feedback as to why to help designers understand the decision. Looking forward to seeing some additional ideas.

Lots of new ideas, folks, and the designs are all really excellent. I dread having to eventually choose just one. I have provided some individual feedback, along with updates to the Brief as well.

The currently top-ranked entries, #43, #18 and #56 all have the characteristic of multiple different graphic impressions. #43 conveys the notion of an eye, cradling hands, bird wings and a flag. #18 conveys an eye and also looks a lot like the earth viewed from space. #56 conveys an eye overlooking the world, and also a person running. These give these logos visual interest and an attractive quality and tie-in with the mission of TheUnblinkingEye.

All of the other designs have elements to recommend them and extremely worthy of being kept in the Ranked section at this time. Those logos which are in the Non-interesting section either don't resonate quite as well as the Ranked entries (or are variations of Ranked logos) but I must stress they are still great designs, they just don't fit this particularly brief. Thank you all for your efforts so far, it's very much appreciated and it's an exciting contest.

I have also updated the Brief with some additional ideas which may help.

Thanks for all the new submissions folks, and I re-iterate how tough this final decision is going go be. But I want to thank you all for your great work and neat ideas, it's much appreciated. This is my first time using LogoTournament, and I'm totally awestruck by the number and quality of ideas, and from all over the world. It's amazing! Thanks again...TheUnblinkingEye

Currently narrowing to the top 10 logos. For those who do not make it past this selection process, let me just say that I'm blown away by the quality and diversity of designs. My humble thanks for the time and effort you put in and thank you for entry.

I have trimmed the list down to five, and for those whose designs remains, thank you and congratulations. For those who did not make the short list, I’m really sorry, and it in no way reflects on your work...I thought your designs were great, just not quite what I was looking for at this stage. Also, I have ranked the remaining five in what I believe their final order will be, although I will check back again in a while to see if it still seems right to me.
