I hope you have access to see this, but this was one of the entries to my design contest for a new logo, I couldn’t believe it!

What do you expect as a bold, modern and playful logo? It fits perfectly.

Ducking…

Something anywhere near good design?

I was quite amazed at the level of some of the designs, and not in a good way. I was really annoyed at how many entries wasted my and their time by just slightly adjusting someone else’s entry (usually for the worse) just because I gave the original a star or two.

I think I was lucky to get something I actually really like, or maybe it’s just a numbers game and you have to suffer a bunch of rubbish to find that one good entry.

Here, I have a contribution. No need to pay me, it’s a philanthropic premium work:

I wonder how grateful are you now. No need to say thanks, it was my pleasure producing this masterpiece.

Have you revealed the winner?

My favorite worst logo has been the Arlington Pediatric Center:

The Computer Doctors is probably a close second:

Another bad sign, this is ‘All about spacing’

‘Wig & Pen’ is a Pub in Cornwall)

How did no-one from the designer to the person who approved the sign to the sign maker not see these things?!

I’m one of those people who feels irked and gets a twitchy eye when businesses misplace apostrophes in signs.

I wish I would have taken a picture of this but a local wig shop in my town put up a street advertisement saying “Come into the head shop and mom will take care of you” :stuck_out_tongue:

Regarding the quality of entries for the logo creation:

Although some entries may not be up to the expected standard - we still need to appreciate that some of those people may have been trying their hardest to create a nice logo.

Maybe I’m just compassionate regarding other peoples feelings, but I am sure they were probably trying their hardest, and they were probably proud of what they created.

That said - it doesn’t make it any less annoying to be presented with less than satisfactory quality entries :slight_smile:

In support to Richard’s feelings, I must say:

Well, It’s not a contract. It’s an open contest, you should expect “open” results. The better you explain your needs, better the results.

Maybe some contestants are 12 years old “designers”… or 99 y/o retired ones just having fun, who knows.

The contestants are working for free, for a chance of being chosen… or not. I wouldn’t expect a 3 days high elaborated work this way.

Its your job to watch the entries and select between an …ehrr… not so good job and a better entry. You just can’t complain about it.

Play the game, find a winner, and pay the price of your choices trying to be happy with the obtained results. :wink:

Ok, the market is already reacting… In a kind of funny way.
