Royal_Tour 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 100 bucks thats it?Ya.. i mean. i'd like to help the guy out. but thats a dissgrace.Usually design work regardles of what it is will range from 50 - 150 an hour.I wish this type of idea worked for everyday events, like hmm. buying a car.."I cant afford much, sooo who ever builds me a running vehicle with a leather interior will win the prize.... 100.00 "...lol Link to post Share on other sites

jeffgen 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'm interested to see the quality of work that gets submitted for only a $100 prize. I'm guessing he'd be better off using the money to buy a copy of Photoshop and have at it himself! Royal's right, this is pretty much asking for a free logo (at least from the perspective of someone who gets paid to do this kind of stuff for a living). Link to post Share on other sites

Not easy, but if you can do it,. your EV is high.2000 USD for 1 week of work is not too shabby. Link to post Share on other sites

For most of us, it wasn't about the cash... more about the chance to meet and play a poker pro. $100 doesn't come close. Link to post Share on other sites
MtDewVirus 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Sorry if you guys think the prize is weak, but I'm not a millionaire, so I can't offer $2,000. I'm not looking for professional designers here. I have no graphic design skills whatsoever (even with Photoshop), so I figured someone might want to make a quick $100. Shouldn't take much more than an hour or two to make a logo with a couple of different sizes. Believe it or not, some people enjoy doing these types of things for fun.My thoughts were that maybe a college kid would like the opportunity to make some quick cash and could also use it as a starter for a portfolio or something. I've seen other sites that simply asked for a logo and received quite a few submissions...without a prize! Link to post Share on other sites
MtDewVirus 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I didn't see anyone offer up what would be a better prize, so I'll ask...What wouldn't be "a disgrace"? Link to post Share on other sites

But think of it this way.I'm a designer, i also do freelance design, i get paid low for my freelance work, but i DO get paid for it.Your offer is low., but acceptable for a simple task, however, I, or anyone is not guaranteed this money, there for if u simply asked myself, or another designer on this site ie: governator, or both for that matter with 50/50 split. I'm sure you would get a better response. Link to post Share on other sites
MtDewVirus 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I might also get a logo I don't like. So then I'm paying for something I'm not going to use.I also understand where you are coming from though. I figured it was worth a shot to run the contest and see what I would get.

Runin 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 If the prize isn't enough then don't submit. Why spend a whole thread bitc.hing about it and talking about EV. Damn, its just some guy trying to have somebody send in a few ideas. If you are proficient with Photoshop it doesn't take very long at all to make 3 different logos, especially when there are set parameters for size and such like he has. I hope nobody spent a week or more working on the ones for FCP because most of the ones I saw (including the winner) weren't really all that impressive graphically or creatively. I'm sure I'm going to get ripped for saying that, but its the truth (or at least my opinion of the truth). MtDew, don't worry you'll get people to submit stuff for $100. I don't think you will lose out on the quality of submissions because of this thread. Link to post Share on other sites
