Hi All,

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we really appreciate the efforts put forward for our logo.

We wish we could pick all of them, but unfortunately it's not in the budget.

This was a very tough decision, but we are going to go with the design we believe will work best for a logo "and" something we can use for a sauce label.

Thanks again,
Tim (Whatevah Sauces LLC)

Hi all,
I appreciate all the efforts and understand how frustrating this can be for all of you, as it is for me. I was cooking bacon tonight (3 lbs for a friend :)) and had an epiphany. I saw a simple "cool and original" Moose standing on the left side of a grill with a fork or spatula grilling some food, smiling with the WHATEVAH SAUCE and tagline to the right (something clean and simple), but original. I don't know, something crazy in the last minutes of the contest. As you can see, I have the current designs I like selected and unless I see something very original and crazy, I have my pick.

Hey All,

Well, you are all making it harder as the new ideas are good and the improved ideas are even better. Getting down to the wire. I would suggest possibly throwing out some "crazy" new and "original" mascot ideas. You never know. I appreciate everyone's hard work.

Ok, the upload problem was because I was trying to upload pdf files. Kind of late now, but I uploaded some of my early ideas for mascot "types" etc.

Hi All,

Glad to see the new ideas "takes" on the logo, however I was just informed that the character/mascot ideas that I had thought I uploaded and you could all see, were not. Thus I guess when I kept repeating in my comments to please "look at the ideas I uploaded" a lot of you must have been scratching your heads. I attempted to upload them again so all could see, but when I do, it looks like it uploads as a broken file. If I click on it I get a blank screen and when I go back (back arrow) the file is gone. They are pdf files so I'm not sure if I need to do a different format or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

Ok, down to (4). I appreciate all the efforts, but it doesn't seem like my comments have been understood.

Remember, I'm looking for something "original" in a mascot(s). Something that would be looked at an not mistaken for any other product. I'm not stuck on anything in particular (although the four left are farm animals). I'm open to "anything" (single mascot/simple or even a little more complex like my #1 pick) thus far.

Please re-read the comments and look at the "type" of characters I uploaded. Comical, funky, original with "contrast".

Thanks,
Tim

Hi All,

TGIF, I hope you all have a good weekend.

Having said that, as you can see, I eliminated the majority of the logos. I was hoping that after I put out my feedback, that I might see some "original" mascots etc. but I guess not.

I'm going to put out an idea to all that might get us closer to what might be what I'm looking for.

First of all, the mascots I uploaded (from clip art found on the internet) has the "look" I am looking for. Having said that, this is what I have in mind.

Large font "WHATEVAH SAUCE" with original cow, chicken, pig, shrimp, dispersed throughout (looking around letters, through letters etc.) with either a bottle of sauce in hand or a thumbs up. The tagline "Awesome on Whatevah!" below in a smaller font.

Sorry to be a pain, but this is painful.

Thanks,
Tim

Good Morning,

First of all I appreciate everyone's efforts and look forward to new logos. I've private messaged each of you with specific feedback and ideas on how I would like you to improve on your initial concepts. As an overall comment to the group, I want to re-iterate a couple things.

1. I want this logo to be comical and fun (whatever mascot(s) you choose to make should be smiling and either holding a sauce bottle or a thumbs up, etc.) I would really like something "new" that would be readily identifiable with Whatevah Sauce when seen.
2. I want "simple" and "bold", no cursive writing.
3. Remember the theme "Whatevah". This sauce is good on whatevah and the logo should represent that, either by having multiple mascots or ingredients. (possibly even a mascot holding a plate with different foods on it, chicken, burger, ribs etc.)
4. Very important for me to see the Business title "above" the tagline. Reading the tagline first doesn't flow as well to me.

Thanks again for your efforts,
Tim

Hi Again,

Just for clarification and not to be harsh, but If a logo is submitted without a mascot(s), I will reject it. I could make a simple logo myself and save $500. I'm looking for something original.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I appreciate the efforts thus far, but just to be clear Whatevah sauce is "not" a HOT sauce. It is tangy and sweet with a "lil" heat. The peppers and flames to me automatically make me think of burn your tongue hot and that is not what I want to convey. I also really want a mascot or mascots. Something original and fun in line with the not so well made ideas I uploaded. Looking forward to your creativity.
Thanks!

Welcome and Thank You for Choosing LogoContest.com!

Here are some helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of our site, and your contest.

DO NOT FINALIZE YOUR CONTEST UNTIL ALL REVISIONS ARE MADE AND THE EXACT DESIGN YOU WANT IS SHOWING AND RANKED #1.

1. Please rank your submissions or post general comments a minimum of 1 time per day while your contest is running. This is required should you want to request an extension to your contest and will produce the best results from our designers.

2. Once your contest receives 40 design concepts, your prize amount will become "Guaranteed".

3. Please make the most out of our messaging and comment systems.

a) Place general comments on this main contest page to give all of the designers your preferences and what you would like to see or not see.

b) Clicking on any designers submssion will bring up a page of all submissions by that designer with an option to post private comments pertaining only to his work. (Only the contest Holder and that designer can view and post to this page)

c) Clicking on the designer username under a submission will allow you to send a completely private message to that specific designer.

4. Please "Eliminate" only those logo designs that you feel have no chance of winning your contest. (Be aware that eliminating everything may discourage participation from the designers.)

5. Please rank the designs 1 to 10 and there are also options to rank Elements you like, Colors you like, and Fonts you like. This will help guide the designers toward the design that you are looking for. For the best variety of designs, try not to keep the same design ranked #1 for an extended time as this may result in copying of that design.

6. We require that you do not ask one Designer to use elements or concepts from another Designer. The general rule is that, if a Designer was the first to use and submit the idea in one of their designs, they essentially own that concept or idea for the remainder of the contest. We will remove any deisgns that use copied concepts. Requests or ideas you have put in your Contest Brief or posted as contest attachments are fair game and open to everyone. Concepts that are considered obvious will also be fair game, for example: a dog & cat for a pet hospital, shopping bag for an e-commerce company, a tooth for a dentist, initials for a lawyer, etc.

7. Once your contest ends and is in judging mode, any designer that is ranked #1 #2 #3 #4 or #5 will be able to upload any revisions you request. Simply rank a designers entry to allow revisions to be uploaded.

Discussion Guidelines:

1. Designers and Contest Holders please always be respectful of each other, we all have the same goal.

2. Please do not criticize any design publicly, these discussions should only be held in private.

3. Designers may not post any external links to any designs.

4. Please do not ask a contest holder to view your designs or discuss any other designs.

5. Designers can not discuss copied designs on the contest pages and may submit a Logo Dispute to the Admin only.

Our team at LogoContest.com as well as our designers will make sure you are 100% satisfied and want you to leave here with a design that you love!

Please recommend us to your friends and business associates for all of their logo design and web page design needs.
