Graphic Design Contests

**VidStars** · 10-12-2006, 08:27 PM

Hey, I am paying off a real quick prize because I am in need of a logo for my website www.marcopoloarcade.com

Keep the blue scheme, make sure it is a "discovery" type of setting but NO LAND OR SEA!

In the writing, the bigger part is Marco Polo Arcade and the tagline is "Discover a world of free games" (If the word 'free' does not fit, you may decide not to use it, that is fine.

Best of luck!

Is this a valid contest? Last one you started wasn't...

Why are you stealing other peoples logo competitions and posting them as your own? http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/show...hreadid=428472

What possible satisfaction do you get from it? Graphic Designers work hard to create what the client needs, and what we don't need is some idiot trying to pull the wool over our eyes and wasting our time.

This is absurd. The only motivation I can think of is that the guy is holding this contest for ideas/entries, he'll submit them as his own over at SP and if one of them wins, he'll come back here and either announce a winner or just rip it off (more likely given the lack of ethics.)

I know I only do a couple of contests over here once in a while and things like this (plus the money factor) are the reason why. Unless a forum implements a charge for holding a contest and a minimum prize amount, the situation will likely never improve. Sad but true.
