Brimmie:

I owe you one bottle of Kunu! Thanks!

Brimmie: My cousin did his I.T there Last Year and they have a very good network.

I think the 50grand is too small for a big firm like that.

[b]For those of you asking what format.. Are you that dumb?? You first work on the Logo, then send a preview copy to them which can be in Jpeg or Png!!

If you are lucky enough to be the winner, that's when you 'll need to forward them the Raw File!!

What happened to Multi-Choice 1million Logo Contest??[/b]

Dizney: Break down what you mean by hot spot,and if you need superhero comics, you can holla me, I have artworks that will not only let you "breath easy" but take your breath away.

mclehwot: 3 more days to go and im just seeing this...can i animate? or is it a static ad?

Okija_juju: Question:: To OP:
Clarification on the ownership and usage of these designs.

1. Does submitting designs mean that Oxygen Broadband Co. becomes the owners of such designs thus meaning that the artist waives all claims to the design when once it is submitted.

2. Would the company pay for the usage of the design that wins the competition or does the prize money cover that.

Basically, who has the intellectual Property rights to the Logo? The Competition organizers or the artists?!

Excelboi: Don't letme call you an idiiiot.

OKX: @turl
while i respect ur opinion (as an artist), its unbalanced (as a biz person).
some lesser known artists can get publicity and needed cash through such a gig.
western companies employ it all the time, even the global brands.
do a little more research.

besides its a voluntary process.
no company balances books by spending more money than they need to, to get things done.
eliminating the middle man if u can, is good business....and dis targets d artist directly. (all d ad agencies i know, rip off d artists whose services they employ)
100 people giving 1 hour beats 1 man giving 100 hours, in my opinion. i wouldn't turn in multiple samples for 50k for example.

if ur issue is dat of credibility dats a different thing.
by the way, critiquing d logo here seems like spite....just saying (art is subjective, bro)

Okija_juju: Advice:: To all designers on Nairaland that may decide to participate in this challenge, I suggest you ask for clarification on the ownership and usage of these designs. Questions you should ask;

1. Does submitting designs mean that Oxygen Broadband Co. becomes the owners of such designs thus meaning that the artist waives all claims to the design when once it is submitted.

2. Would the company pay for the usage of the design that wins the competition or does the prize money cover that.

Working on mine!

turl: Rubbish! Get one person, go through their portfolio and if you're happy, award them the gig.
Crowdsourcing is a slap on the face of the profession.
Your logo has some issues by the way, you probably got that done by a crowdsourced designer.

I don't think you know how a bad design affects brand perception...ok I won't go off on a tangent but this approach to getting things done is the reason the western world will never take us serious. Big IT firm can't get a small design agency to work on a campaign. smh

turl:

It's all down to balance mate, anything good costs money and that's why I pointed out that it's a big IT firm and companies like these can easily afford a small ad agency so I don't think budget is an issue here.

turl:

Crowdsourcing fosters the idea that creatives can be easily sourced like jobless people, you grab what you want and chuck the rest away.

OKX: @turl
open a thread on crowd sourcing lets air views there...dont think this is d right place for it.
having said that tho...



i should pay 'more' just cos someone out there thinks i can afford to?....dat doesnt make business sense to me.
for some of the artists who will send entries, 50k can come in handy...and to a struggling/ startup artist dats d bottom line.
and lets face it, 50k for a simple design in our society isnt terrible. dont divorce d job from its surroundings...this is 9ja. (not like a million bucks prize wouldnt b better, sha)



an understandable sentiment coming from an artist, but from a biz perspective...thats really d case.
my money buys me a service, and a replaceable one at that.
u choose to look at it from the jobless angle, i look at it from the efficiency angle n we r both entitled to diff opinions, i guess.

online job boards r ok, but dats a more private arrangement. dis affords visibility....n dats d real payoff here.
competitions generate traffic, maybe more than ur personal website can- so ur chances of ur work being seen r increased.
d benefits to d artist r not measured in naira only, which is why i suggested a more public process to the op.

i referred to western companies doing it in response to ur statement dat the western chaps wont take us seriously, my point being dat they originated d concept and still employ it til date.

again from an efficiency viewpoint, why go thru d process of vetting designers one at a time until im satisfied when i can get a bunch to send in stuff in one fell swoop?
and like i said, as an artist, i wouldnt do multiple adjustments on a sample for 50k.... but i could send a sample, but dats just me.

again, if i were a busy executive, its doubtful whether i want to spend time trying to understand how several artists interpret briefs from previous jobs...i just want to get my job done, fast. interpret my brief thru d work u send...lol

this is just a signage, not d Mona Lisa.

true, some people may feel insulted but dats life. no action is universally acceptable.
personally im not insulted, because inspite of preferable alternatives, i have learnt to balance my views between client n artist.

and i still maintain my view on the logo critique, while it may not be to ur taste, referring to it as badly done is absurd. again, no logo has universal approval...no matter the designer or principles employed.
dis is art, not arithmetic.

let the thread b, let people weigh the risks n make unbiased choices.

u point out companies spending fortunes, but dis is not a campaign, this is a specific targeted deliverable....a signage, simple.
for all we know, it may b a single item that they need as part of a larger campaign that they r running.
do i care?...frankly no.
hunger, poverty, young entrepreneurship n d uncertainties of our economy will always promote participation in similar schemes.
so, yes, there may b alternatives, but i think anyone will choose a path they deem most financially beneficial to themselves, and while d artist in me may grumble...the biz man in me applauds...lol
