Re: LOGO CONTEST - 0.3 BTC - www.CrypTomic.com - re-brand of long standing exchange
As a professional designer seeing this makes me laugh so hard 
I have 7-8 logo gigs per month beside web & app design and my prices for logos are between 200-500$ sometimes also over 1k$ (big companys), it's really sad to see that you are offering literally spec work to earn 100$ and there are at least 15-30 "designer" only one of you will get this price.
Had also already 5 logo jobs on bitcointalk.
I can't even think about to offer free work for anyone.. My time is way too costly for this kind of stuff.
Better do free logos and improve your portfolio & skills than offering spec work "these competations" are just there to rip you off.
In the time you can earn more money on fiverr or freelancer (i don't use those scam sites though).
But whatever have fun !

Reading your posts & threads, and seeing YOUR Portfolio makes me laugh out freaking LOUD!
NO Company has EVER paid YOU $1k for a Logo, you my friend are full of crap IMO...lol
IF & WHEN companies pay BIG money for branding/logos, they hire Established FIRMS, not single freelancers CLAIMING how good they are.
You have had 5 logo jobs on bitcointalk? Where are your VOUCHES or your TRUST RATINGS from these jobs? So we can confirm how good you are, and that you actually received the prices you're claiming above? Again my friend I think you're full of crap...lol
My GUESS is, IF & WHEN any vouches or trust come forward about your service, they will be from newbie accounts like yours.
So please do NOT try to talk down to or belittle anyone here with your bogus claims of GREATNESS & RICHES!
If users want to enter a contest like this, it's their right to do so. They do not require validation from a newbie!
Same as IF a company was ever dumb enough to pay you $1k for a logo, that would be their right to do so as well.
But I wish you luck here with your service thread!
I look forward to seeing the vouches of your service soon :-)
