Few logos from this top will get 1000$ and all of them will be awarded with a “Specialist Logo Designer Insignia”. No, is no joke here and the sun is above illuminating a “daymare”. Is very hard to believe that from hundreds, thousands of entries, somebody can pick some designs like those presented in top 25 (is no matter in this context to talk about some copyrighting infringement from few logos).

Maybe serious designers wasn’t involved, because is very known among logo contests participants that on any contest with big prizes the entries goes crazy messing the minds of contest owners, or a very bad marketing kept away from this contest serious branding companies and freelancers.

What if i am a services buyer looking to have designed a logo for my business and i see this logos cream done for 10.000$ when i have a budget around 500$?!

What about present 15.000$ contest? For 5000$ more, probably more animals will receive attention, from worms to gnu.

PS: the most incredible supposition consist in that many good logo designs has been submited in contest, but was rejected

Grand Prize:  US$15,000 & Master Logo Designer Insignia added to user’s profile.
People’s Award: US$2,500 and Master Logo Designer Insignia
