Personally, I think the site is so amateur, it will only attract amateurs involvement. If it does, it may well raise the bar at the lower end of the industry and instill a grander sense of financial prospect in that sector.
Our beef here should be about its fundamental proposition and representation ('top' creatives?) and whether it's a sham - not whether having a logo competition is good or bad thing for the middle and upper end of the industry - where, i assume, most NTers in this thread reside and where (quite clearly) topcreatives does not.

what exactly do 3rd and 2nd place logos look like?

life isn't nice Jaline. the world doesn't give a fuck about us equally. that's a guarantee.
once you leave whatever mindless cog job you're at and decide that you are worth more than a meager hourly wage, maybe you'll understand, until then, i'm talking to a wall.

(Jul 8 07, 10:28)Whatever, it's your life and personality. I just mean you take things way too seriously sometimes.
By the way, I make more than what most students make while doing school full-time, so this situation I'm currently in is perfect for me until I graduate. I like stability.

(Jul 7 07, 16:38)you really think that they won't "know" the winner?
even if they receive a submission they like, nothing is in place to prevent them ripping a submission after a "winner" is announced

Would you be fine with it if there was something in place?
Some people here are very negative either way.

"What does it say about what we do for a living if a professional designer and an 8 year old .."
doesnt say anything... it says what we do is fun and accessible..
Footballers earn silly amounts of money even though there are loadsa 8 year olds doing it too... doesnt devalue their career...on the other hand.. could you be scared that you might lose a comp to an 8 year old??
jaline.. wether ur starting out or not isnt really a guideline.. do it if you feel like it... i got into design cause i like renovating aesthetics.. so ANY comp (wether im a student or a fully seasoned pro) is gonna appeal.. its wether the reward compensates the time..
let the 8 year olds and design kings compete against me.... i got my crayons

pretend what? what kind of smiting are you attempting with me? you make no sense. probably your hat is on too tight.

$1,500 is shit for a logo design! The full $2,500 is minimally acceptable. Anyway, most Graphic Design organizations shun competitions like this because it lowers our professional status.
