    Is it necessary to submit 8 versions of the same logo?

      No, some designers submitted different versions with different fonts. One entry per concept is fine.

    We really like the mountain/cactus image used by flowkai in #56 : https://www.freelancer.com/contest/Design-a-logo-for-electricalmechanical-maintenance-equipment-business-261721-by-flowkai-14846053.html but unfortunately this is a copyright violation. Please try to make a version with an original mountain/cactus image that looks similar to this.

    Please use a copper color that looks like copper, not brown. Do a Google image search for copper or copper color to see examples of what color copper is.

      We are putting them at a lower rating and will not choose them. We like the idea and designers can draw from the concepts and create original works.

      Copyright infringement occurs when your new work incorporates artistic expression from the original, even if it takes only a small part of the original work, and even if you add a lot of your own original expression. For example, if the second illustrator rendered the same figure in the same pose, removing the same hat, even if his illustration has a different background. There is a famous quote from Judge Learned Hand that goes “no plagiarist can excuse the wrong by showing how much of his work he did not pirate.”

    The font is very important for this logo since it is a big part of how it will look. We are open to different fonts and would like to see your entry with several different options. The winning entry will have a great font.

    Our font preferences include:
    - Clear, clean, and easy to read
    - Modern but not to the extent of being science fiction modern
    - We may even consider a western font

    Don’t want words in a circle around the state. This is difficult to read.

    There was a mistake in the cstsolutionsllc.com logo design plan document: Copperstate is one word and not two. I’m sorry for the error.
