A little less than 9 hours left. Above: MissLee late entry for Conceptualist.com design contest.
And for a description? Get ready for the best reading you gonna do today.
It was bound to happen. Reading the blog, taking in the general vibe, the ideas, the perspective…at some point you arrive at a turn of a phrase or an image and it strikes a chord; everything falls into place and your springboard is there and your kinetic energy levels go into high gear. Such was the case with Lala. Sure, I’m a ‘dog person’ so I’m automatically drawn but this was the photo that did it for me
The purity of focus, the energy level, the unwavering certainty that whatever she was going after was entirely attainable; whatever her concept was, she was going after it with gusto.
We are all fundamentally the same; motivated by need, desire or instinct. Our ears prick up at the sound of a new enterprise, a new idea or a way to make our lives or the lives of our ‘pack’ better. As the parallels continued to reveal themselves, Lala represented the very best of what conceptualizing is about when (and it’s a big ‘when’) that concept is put into action. It was her dynamic energy that led to the nucleus of the logo; jumping over and above the masses, not in the least concerned about the possibility of failure and going full bore with complete confidence, determination and enthusiasm!
As that nucleus thrived, the surrounding idea took shape. For me, conceptualization can entail daydreaming, visualizing, making mental connections and a little prognostication. The process is a joy and I wanted to reflect that sense of optimism and fun and above all I wanted to convey the unlimited potential that exists from exploring an idea and taking an active role in it’s evolution.
It is a pleasure to participate in this contest and I am always open to feedback.

You’ve had wonderful designs. But, this is the best I’ve seen. I may be biased because the picture of the German Shepard reminds me of mine that we had to put to sleep earlier this year. She was 13 and the smartest dog I’ve ever seen (again biased opinion). She always stood strong and confident and never let her guard down. Committed, loyal and focused are the traits that came natural to her and the same I live by every day.
I see that you have rejected my logo on the contest because my in-depth description was not present. I understood the rules, however when submitting the logo, I was presented with a textarea with limited characters - much less than I needed to describe the logo.
I have not see any other ‘descriptions’ on SitePoint, so I assumed that you would contact the designers of logos that you liked and get the descriptions.
This was the first logo contest that I’ve entered on SitePoint.
—-answer—-
I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t see descriptions on other entries, they are all over. If you still did not have enough space to write you could have emailed or could have put it on HTML page somewhere and linked to it. You can still re-submit that entry with full description until contest ends.
Cheers

Thanks for replying Sahar. I sincerely appreciate your fairness. I am certain that the problem was my lack of experience with SitePoint contests. I will re-submit immediately!
Hi I’ve seen your contest at SitePoint, you have some really good entries there, but honestly I don’t think this one is the best, it looks like clipart, very low quality, I don’t think this is your best choice. Thanks!
Sahar, I don’t know about this logo. It looks really low quality to me.
How would it look like on a white background?
Just not feeling it.
