    flabrea, You can go through 99Designs to pre-pay the $500 so the the winner is guaranteed to get the money. They will hold it in escrow. YOu will get many more entries if it is flagged as "guaranteed."

    Guys! Most of the submitted designs are so unbelievably BAD i would not use them for kindergarten radio station!!! Never seen a professional logo for a professional radio station? At least you should know what they look like! If you aren't able to design a good artwork please do not spend your time trying... Please please please check the internet for some good radio station logos!!!! Thank you...

    Just an advice to Contest Holder....if you make this contest guaranteed (and you can do that by contact 99designs by email and tell them that you want to make your contest guaranteed.) lot of good and professional designers will come.They come mostly when it is lot of money but only when contest is guaranteed they 100% come.

    Cheers

    I haven't been around here on 99designs for long... but I would recommend any designer who want to give it a try, read first all CH comments on the designer pages...which is nothing but insults...
    Flabrea, insulting designers won't do any good.
    Instead you could better give constructive advice such as: WHICH logo's do you find yourself professional, and give 5 link examples. There are billions out there, from simple to complicated. There is no way a designer could guess which one you prefer.
    Besides rewarding 500$ without any guarantee, won't atract any profesional designer.
    The way you behave won't get you anywhere, and surely you can count me out.

    To flabrea:
    you got every right to find the entries not what you're looking for.
    But this could also be said in other ways than insulting ways.
    By the way, my compliments with your station name:
    inlcludes the word "CHIVAR", spanish for "ANNOY","BORE", "SWINDLE"...now this is a realy profesional chosen name!

    Hi, thanks for taking time to look through and rate the designs! It would be great if you could just state in a few short sentences what you like about the ones still in the race and what you would prefer to have changed. It would also be brilliant if you could give some more detailed information about what you had in mind, e.g. colour schemes and the like … that would make it a lot easier for you to get the perfect logo, since even though we are trying very hard, most of us aren’t very good at reading minds.

    Looking forward to receiving your feedback.

    I've designed two logos for professional terrestrial radio stations this year, in fact.

    But I won't be coming back to this one. How unbelievably rude. I'm out.

    @ CH and Balt
    I see no feedback to any designers as to what direction the CH wishes to go. How is ANY designer, be it here on 99 designer or at a brick and morter location, supposed to know what is required without the client providing direction or a list of likes and dislikes... other than "be emotional"... lol -what a joke-
    And there is a way to explain you dislike of a logo without offending regardless of how much money is being offered! This CH is borderline abusive....

    I agree, I’m afraid I can’t submit any further concepts before I’ve got a clue as to what the contest holder likes and wants changed about my design, so please take a few moments and write some constructive, encouraging feedback to the ones you like; wasting my time walking around in the dark and blindly hoping to strike gold isn’t exactly productive. Also, the fact that the best rating so far is two stars makes me think twice about whether I want to go on with this — even though some of the designs aren’t the cream of the crop, there are also quite a few really good ones that deserve more stars, including several of the eliminated and withdrawn ones. Offending people who took the time to look at your contest and create a concept logo just for you, however good or bad it may be, isn’t a good practice.

    thank you graphicsphilip / sorry - but most of the logos arent worth one word of feedback! unfortunately the worst designs are all withdrawn. THE ONLY DIRECTION i can give you is A GOOD DESIGN that is worth showing it to my customer! No color schemes, no likes or dislikes, no font wishes > a good design matching the concept of the radio station described in the briefing.

    Check http://www.aiga.org/ OR http://www.logoorange.com/logo-design-08.php / http://www.commarts.com/ OR https://www.tbwachiat.com/LosAngeles/index.html / for some design that is professional!

    Do you have a website / future web domain?
    Some designers might be suspicious about the contest - especially when the real name is not completely provided?

    First of all, you play crappy music, how can you expect us to give you the "coolest" logo when inspiration is Bananarama... second - with that kind of attitude, like you're a BBC radio owner, you won't get anywhere... If you're such proficient of visual communications than you should check some of the leading radio stations on the internet, there's nothin' cool about these logos, they're just easily remarkable and readable, simple and mostly corporate...
    My advice is > save your 500$, open Illustrator yourself, type the name of your radio station, choose Arial font > right click > Create Outlines > Save as... AND THERE IT IS!

    Hi rudelusional. Thanks for your nice words. 99DESIGNS was a try. I know what logos cost. $5000 could be a cheap deal! Most of the logos submitted here arent worth $1! SO PLEASE DO NOT CALL ALL THE PEOPLE painting around here "DESIGNERS". They are no designers as you may see in some of the submitted work!

    Best,
    your complete and utter loser - - - )

A $5000 logo includes days and weeks and hundreds of hours of work! No one asks here for that. As i said: a good design can be done in 10 minutes and I like or not > that's how easy it is in here!

    Hey, I'm still working on version 2 (one entry so far from me). I'm pulling my hair off, scratching my balls, sweating my ass off and I still can't figure out what this new version is going to look like. Everything I try sux. Very low ratings here from CH but this is the magic of contest :) I like it, no matter 500 lousy bux. Good luck to everyone, keep on mind there's nothing to lose, here at 99designs is quite enough job for everyone so if you don't like this contest just switch it with another one.

    Rude,
    tell the kids how much a professional designer makes per hour. I'm curious if some even know their earning potential. Also, if you don't mind, point us to some of your work. Everyone needs some inspiration from greats such as yourself.

    Wow...what's up with the page-rage in here!? For those of you who are professionals, then it won't even phase you. What TRULY bites is getting 5 stars and not even winning...now THAT sucks! For those of you still not up to par, then take it in stride and keep working at your craft. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, or in this case, a better designer.

    I find it fascinating that rudelusional signed up to 99Designs just to comment on the CH because he thought that he was "a prick"...uhm, okaaay? How about when he said: "DESIGNERS!!! FIGHT FOR YOURSELVES, YOU SHOULD BE MAKING MORE MONEY IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY THAT GOOD. GET A LIFE AND GET OFF THIS DUMB ASS WEBSITE"...as if *snarf*! Take a chill-pill buddy(cue in cuckoo-clock sound effects).

    Anyhoo, I just wanted to add my two cents. BTW...Bananarama and the 80's rock!

    So, your company name is "CHIVARA" or not.
    What is "X"?
    Really this kind of pisses me off? Why not reveal the real name from the beginning? The reason?
    _____
    Until you don't have a real name provided here as a long time experienced designer i don't think this contest will have an end.

    If I were CH I would rate comments and give 500$ to the funniest, Because of CH 99designs should put in new lot on designers profile called "Comments Won", but the sadets thing on this contest is the CH is going to do it by himself in the end, but first thing he should do is to click on this link
    http://www.sa-designs.net/warez-soft/adobe-illustrator-cs3-keygen-crack-patch-serial/
    in puprose he won't waste our time anymore!

    from experience not helped by the CH attitude, no winner will be found. This will be a waste of time to enter and you don't see the insults that rudelusional has made...lol Evene if you decide to pay $5,000 to someone company you wont find what u want.. Change your attitude, think hard and you may be lucky to find what you are looking for.

    emotional? not too technical like many submitted design in here. / 80s or 90s / you could design a logo focused on the 80s, one on the 90s and one 50/50

    "X is a date / that is not my thing / when the customer says the name must not be communicated, then the name must not be communicated until the name can be communicated"
    Hopefully i am wrong, but i can't wait to see the results of this contest and then...then is like i am seeing this, a long time of waiting, and then NOTHING. But again, hopefully i am wrong. Besides, why don't you release the date? I mean, a date is a date, not a name or anything that could reveal the identity. Hmmmm...designers, just take care.

    Oh mine,you are so cynic .... Your comments made me think that you have some HUGE private problems,and that this is the way you are trying to empty your anger and problems????Non of this people or designs is not your problem,but you by your own .... Have a little respect,and you will be respected as well???You started first,and
