Pretty funny to see all these contests where no winner was selected.
Typical comment:
"The CEO and President did not see any one design that jumped out at them. They liked elements of more than a few of these - but none captured their imagination in a strong way.
We were pleased with some submissions and confused with others. We saw some copying of work by a few artists and more than a few over-simplistic and angry horses in designs (which we will never use). Bold does not = angry. We saw some interesting directions, but no single logo grabbed us completely. We're a bit disappointed overall, but we know a logo is out there for us somewhere.
Thank you all for participating and for your efforts. Even if no one was chosen, many of you clearly can be called "artists.""

the way i read that is; "We are too cheap even to pay for this crap. We will have my nephew copy one of these. "

No offense, but I dont consider funny the future of our profession.
Could you imagine what would happen if big corporation started to get AMAZINGLY WOWING results by posting projects for a bid where they only pay $12 to the winner?Let me give you a better representation

But, to be fair there are a lot of contests where you only see utter crap.

Theres always iStockLogo™

"That looks Familiar" Logo downloaded from free vector site becomes a contest holder favorite http://tinyurl.com/qt9wn6
I think this is part of the reasoning behind iStockLogo™ before people buy a generic icon for $1 let them buy a generic logo for $100 (I think about iStock profits)

Designer comment:
"dont you think we deseve an explanation about this contest been suspended? if its going to be reopened? or are you hiring a specific designer? i think we all love to know, thanks!"
Designer comment (the contest was for a 'laundry service'):
"The bubbles have burst, and the contest has slid into soapy waters."

we are all winners today

my problem with such sites is that nobody reads them except of designers who wouldn't take part in contests anyway. so it's fun to read and read but other than that completely worthless.

if you work for free, your work is probably worth that.
