Is it possible to break this down? Start with a logo, maybe? Develop the website and stationary separate as well? Just a thought as I do not do webwork at this time but can probably join in for the identity portion.

**depends1** · 03-23-2007, 02:39 PM

Yes it can be breaked down but it should look like a compact concept in the end.

By the way I forgot to post my logos in the previous post.

Because I don't have Paypal accout (Paypal doesn't operate in my country and I am very sorry for this ). I don't see anything wrong in using Western Union. Why is that a problem. You will get money instantly and securely.

**Hayes** · 07:05 PM

depends1, can you post a larger version of your logo? Also, the fact one still has the copyright C on it troubles me.

Also, please post the website address the design will appear on.

**mossback350** · 05:13 PM

Check this out see what you think it looks pretty good witha a white background too.

**woosh** · 03-23-2007, 09:31 PM

Normally a designer would send a copyrighted image for proofing and then payment is sent and the final files are sent once payment is recieved, maybe a mod could hold the sum if you are not wanting to do this but to send all files before payment is recieved may be too much of a risk for most

**depends1** · 03-24-2007, 04:38 AM

Ok, you are right, but could you concentrate a little more on design instead on technial reasons. So far we have seen only one design and if it stays that way noone will deserve a prize.
Submit your work and let this contest go its way. Once we have a winner we will agree on payment method and process of sending files.

Also I still don't have domain registrated. I have few ideas on my mind but I will let you know as soon as I pick the right one.I wouldn't like to publish possible combinations right now if you don't mind.

mossback350, honestly speaking I don't like your logo. I would start everything from begining. The concept is unprofessional,dark and not sutable for the business I am doing.

**mossback350** · 03-24-2007, 05:15 PM

Is this a little better there depends, cause this looks a little cleaner and more professional.

**depends1** · 03-25-2007, 05:17 AM

mossback350, to be honest no....
Are there any other suggestions or works.

**depends1** · 03-25-2007, 04:34 PM

As far as I can see noone is willing to contribute this contents wit some serious professional work.
From that reason I decided to raise the winning prize up to $600.

Maybe this will motivate to bring in some quality work.

Which country are you from?

Is not that we are not willing to contribute to this contest, the problem is we must trust before working and sending a file that took us hours of work, creativity and the risk of losing or winning the contest. If I or the rest of the designers trust you, we would be happily to work though this project together in this contest.

That much is true, usually the payment is sent BEFORE the files are sent, and usually by paypal, western union just makes the designers very wary

**Tropica** · 03-26-2007, 04:53 PM

here is a logo idea, keep the comp alive

**Republikin** · 03-26-2007, 06:42 PM

Depends1, some people here have asked what country exactly you are in, I too am curious, please reply.

**depends1** · 03-26-2007, 07:05 PM

Hi,

I am from Macedonia. I completely understand your concerns but Paypal doesn' operate in my country so the Western Union stands out as only possibe cost effective solution. I will be paying all fees and the winner will just have to pick up cash at local bank. I don't see why that is such a problem.
I would also like to send you money via Paypal but it is not my fault for being citzen of third world country.

I just still hope you won't ignore me just because of this.

**ghiavolu** · 03-27-2007, 04:45 AM

Hi there!
It is an interesting project, though there is the problem of trust here. Especially the second article here worries me. Consider using an escrow, and http://www.moneybookers.com -they work for any country with very little fees. Speaking of myself, i`m interested in your project, but not unless an escrow is used.

**depends1** · 03-27-2007, 10:42 AM

Hi,
qhiavolu, what do you mean...Yes the avarage salary in Macedonia is around 200 euros or around $300. I don't see why is that important right now. I own a private company for years but we don't have web site. I don't see why that is strange to you. Now that I decide to promote my business online everyone is suspicious about that. I really don't see why.

I haven't used escrow service you mentioned so far so I don't know what to expect from it. I just proposed WU as a way of payment. I didn't want to offend or cheat anyone in any way . As you said it is a matter of trust so please put some trust and good will in this contents. I can promise that I will agree with the winner on the best way to transfer money. So far the WU stands out as the best solution. I will send you money and you will just have to pick it up. That is the least I can do.
