Thanks Al! I'm in the camp with lots of ideas, but don't have the talent to actually create the work. You've shown me a venue that I can start utilizing. I used Logoworks previously, but they are expensive! At DP, I feel that I can alot more creative content at a fraction of the price. Now, if we can only find a similar solution for web developers . . . This is awesome! Thanks Al! I’m in the camp with lots of ideas, but don’t have the talent to actually create the work.

Seems like there are a lot of talented people over on DP. I agree though that it might not be that fair to the designers that won't 'win' because it looks like it takes a lot of work but they don't have to enter I guess. I guess that's why you've got to come up with a prize large enough to entice them. I like the logo and lettering coolwanz has come up with. Zmaja, Alex and famousartguy are good too. Not too keen on Barbie's though. Hey Neale let me know if you manage to sell any shirts! I think a contest is the best way to get a logo done and a high prize amount will usually always be worth it.

That does help benefit the designer and it's labelled as a contest so the criteria are a bit different. The NO!SPEC site has a better overview of what constitutes as spec than I can say here in a paragraph. I am not criticizing you in particular, only trying to put information out there to help others learn when they are asking for spec and how that affects everyone involved.

I'm hoping with the way I worded the contest everybody knows upfront how it works and that they may get nothing for their entry. I think the $400 was more than fair for the winning designer, do you agree that it is a fair rate or am I undervaluing the work involved. Thanks again for you feedback.
