Contest Brief
I am developing an online classifieds ads website. The name is AcuClassifieds - an online classifieds ads for acupuncturists. The logo should look modern enough yet elegant and professional. It should look nice in all sizes and black/white. I want to develop a similar site to gumtree.com or gumtree.com.au. Both the logo and webpage should look comfortable to the eyes with great UI, Need to pay attention to typography for headings and wordings. The website should look welcoming and attractive, My audience right now are US acupuncturists but will go global shortly. Be creative in use of colors. Do avoid use of dark background, white or neutral is recommended.
*No DIRECT COPY FROM OTHER'S WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED!!!

To be honest, all top designs are just variation of the AC nothing else. It doesn't even tell about acupuncture which is the business itself. It's very disappointing that these generic designs are what the Contest Holder prefers.

Contest Holder - 7 years ago
I think good design does come from similar though processes. That why the end results are similar too. It's not that I prefer generic designs more than creative ones but if a logo is so creative that shows off how brilliant a design is but doesn't fit the requirement it's not going to be accepted.

Yes sir, at some extent it's true but if you notice, most of the top entries just worked on the AC intials and unfortunately most are just modified version of existing AC logo in the net. Given that designs does come from similar thought process, then it becomes generic to the point that more than half of the entries are just variations of the top entries. Either way, I wish that you could find the perfect logo for your company that has its own identity and not just a ripoff somewhere.

I don't even know what to say anymore, there seems to be so much looking-alike on the website. Someone just posted this as well: http://www.rsc-scotland.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/AC-LOGO.jpg I am spending $300 for good quality, original logo design. At this moment I feel like my money is wasted.

Live chat was so difficult to wait anyway I was lucky to have spoken to a live person. But this has to go to their contest department. Guess it's going to take a few more days considering it's weekend right now

THE WINNING ENTRY COPYRIGHT FROM THIS SITE VERY SIMILAR http://thumb1.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/2442851/243192058/stock-vector-letter-a-logo-icon-design-template-elements-243192058.jpg

Dear all, I want to thank g700 for providing me the link to an existing design on shutterstock.com (They have a term and condition stating their stock picture should never be used for logo or trademark). This looks almost identical to the winner's logo therefore I will need to re-select another logo from the top entries. If you have spotted the logo design I had given 4-5 stars and you suspects they are copy too please provide me with link. We cannot do this over and over again, it's wasting my and your time. I am sure Kkgraph may be unaware of this logo design but I will unfortunately need to re-select a new winner. Sorry.

I have talked to the winner but I will let Freelancer to decide what to do. It's still unclear to me if Kkgraph simply copied the idea from Shuterstock, I will handover this to Freelancer to see what they are going to do with this designer's work.

Dear all, thank you for participation. We have made our choice finally after carefully examining more than 500+ entries. Don't feel bad if you didn't win the contest. Many of you guys have submitted great design and it was such a torn for me to choice the best among them. Therefore I had my team to pick for me. I sincerely wish you the best and I will make sure to seal the contest for future ones to make it a fair race for participants.

why you are giving 5 star to the who didn't create your other stationary and website mock up.. you gave five star that's why all designers only creating your logo..
- 7 years ago
-
Contest Holder - 7 years ago
Yes it is a requirement for the winner to submit everything but since I have not picked the winner most designers probably thought to wait until their logo wins the contest then provide the rest. Some designers are willing to put extra effort to design everything upfront which is good.

Thank you for your comment too. I gave 5 stars more for my own reference didn't know everyone is using it to steal each others idea. So sad...

umm... it's a shame I think people DO realize it's good to incorporate infinity sign in their logo design. Maybe this designer wasn't aware of these design but unfortunately we cannot use logo that look too much alike with other existing design for there's a risk of infringement. I will give this designer who created the design a chance to re-design something based on infinity sign hoping he can come up with something different.

I was not aware of that design at all. And if you have rejected my design I don't claim because you are the only one you decide which design works for you company.

Design doesn't have to be sophisticated. It doesn't have to show off your skills and creativity. It most importantly has to deliver the message and fits the client's requirements and philosophy. I would appreciate people don't attack on other's people's work using words like 'ugly'. This is a open competition and everyone's welcome.
Yes I admit it is unfair because most people just follow the top rated logo and make slight modification then submit the work and claim to be their original idea. I have already submitted a ticket on this and hopefully they get back to me soon. I found that Freelancer is not very responsive to requests or complaints. I early submitted a ticket and now it's over 24 hours I have not heard back from them. Very disappointed. Anyway, thank you all for your submission. I will invite my friends and colleagues to help me decide which ones they like. Of course they won't know anything about what happened in here. I wish the best for everyone here, thank you again.- 7 years ago

SwrillSM sorry I mistaken your comment until now. Yes I saw the 'seal' option. I didn't see it before, I didn't see the fine print I thought it is to seal/close the project. Now it's too late. I wish Freelancer made it mandatory but I guess some people want to keep it unsealed for some reasons. Sorry my bad.

Contest Holder - 7 years ago
Since requested by a contestant and there's probably no way that designer will know unless if they check the public clarification board, I will have to let the contest close by the deadline tomorrow. Please do not submit any more 'copied design'. It's giving me headache.
