We've gotten over 400 entries in just over 5 days of a 7 day contest. The expected number according to freelancer.com was 190. A lot of been unacceptable or just plain poorly done. But we're starting to see some real contenders pull ahead of the pack and I hope we'll have 3 to 5 good choices to make the hard choices between. We'll have 14 days to pick a winner. I'm attaching one of the more complete entries, and there are about four other ones I've asked for some minor/moderate revisions on before I ask for the complete package.
Once the open part of the contest is over, I'll post what I feel are the best choices, and we can discuss. I'm hoping we can get most of what we need for the stated bounty but I'm willing to spend some more to compensate for any tweaks and changes we would require.
I'll figure out what I'd hope to raise for fundraising, but I'm thinking in the end we could very well get what we need for the base $400 contest, although I'm figuring it may trend to $500 or $600 if we need a lot of revisions. In the end, I'm willing to pay for it all for the good of the coin, but I would appreciate any donations. My donation address is BGtF8NTiUF3cTMJ62Ps7G1wtYU7sD5nkvG for the Logo contest.
