    There have been some really great designs submitted already - I'm impressed. When thinking of this logo (and it's mark), envision something that you're okay with being thrown in the mud and stomped on a couple times. Might get you in the right mood... :)

    I've just added Moneybookers as a payment method. Western Union are a bunch of money grubbing transfer thieves and I refuse to use them.

    Penflare, thanks or the heads-up. I definitely can't use anything that has been used in other logos before, must be original work.

    Everyone, many good designs so far, and it's been less than 24 hours. Keep in mind that this is more of a "man" brand, and that you should be able to throw it down in the mud and jump on it a couple times and it will still work just fine.

    For the symbolism/icon, look to Africa-related symbols like cave art, animal symbols, tribal symbols, spears, etc.

    The Rhino logos really remind me too much of Ecko Unlimited.

    Yes...and now that that has been brought to our attention(for the second time now)...perhaps they will all get disqualified and your odds will be better at winning this compitition. Whatever it takes right?

    Oh, I didn't see that someone had mentioned it but I think a Rhino can get pulled off if it's completely unique with detail or something. I love almost all the submitted logos, I'm so jealous!

    Ecko doesn't have a monopoly on Rhinos... If a Rhino logo is the best, I'll choose it.

    I'm still stunned at these designs.

    There is nothing wrong with rhinos as logo, but the idea that my aligator remindes of Lacoste logo, so as rhino remindes of ECKO logo...i'm kind of upset for .stone's comment. But that's ok... i have a gorilla too :)
    Sry for my bad english. Good luck too all!

    For everyone giving the rock/cave drawing style a try. I like the idea if I can use multiple art drawings for the brand. Like the petrograph icons here: http://iconfactory.com/freeware/preview/ptrg

    Stickie, why are the ratings controversial? I understood them being set up with stars so that it was easier to sort designs that I liked.

    Oh, and I am lucky, this has been an amazing contest with designs that are making really sit back and think hard about what I want. Outstanding work.

    Looks like it's over. I'm down to 3 logo designs to choose between for the winner. I'll make that final decision tonight and let everyone know. Wish I could choose more than one...

    Congrats to Andrie for his winning design #270!

    Sort by rating and you'll see those with 5 stars were the runners-up. It was a VERY hard choice, you guys pulled out all the stops on this and it was incredibly impressive.

    Thanks!
