Doesn't look as good on the white bg because the white of the flag gets lost and looks terrible with a border around it :(

I thought it actually looked better on the white BG due to how it KINDA resembles the speedos that are popping up in this thread....if that makes sense?

Ah yeah I guess! But if I deliberately go for that look then katie might be having words with me :p

Heofz - heh, just trying to keep it civil - guess I could square up, throw a beer glass and mash some skulls? ;)
lol, quite the contrary, I was more referring to your womanly psychological skills... introducing yourself as a professional working in a graphics studio, discussing the company branding and so forth, being extra modest saying you're not expecting to win etc, hinting at improving the main web design and even changing the theme, using attractive female model tshirts in a dominantly male forum, posting lots of examples of brand use on random items, using a large number of aesthetically pleasing photoshops to enhance the appeal of your logo, even appealing to spie's enthusiasm for sports cars, maintaining a general but a tiny bit OTT "I love overclockers" attitude, subtley hinting in another "spec me a rig" thread that you don't need to include a graphics card because you'll possibly win this competition... all legitimate things to do, but they are all tiny subtle little things that help your cause, forming a very cunning overall tactic, and your strategy was so well executed and natural that you could simply deny everything, which is definitely what I would do.

Fair play to you though, you have most of the people here convinced (*cough* skippi :p), your logo is easy on the eyes and you have sold it to most people here very well ;)

One of my entries. Spiced up a bit. Katie, I used your site print screen, hope that's ok. It's just I have a large 1920 x 1200 monitor and my print screens look naff.

I dislike your entry int to be honest (no offense), I think it's between Skip and Katie


Really? Wow. :eek: :o

Underclockers.
 
Heofz - heheh, man you read a little too deep into these things! I don't deny the professional approach being designed to attract custom - but I assure you that's a professional skill, not a gender divide! Likewise using photoshop for design is hardly 'female wiles'?!

Yes I'm modest, but all I can say is I'm genuinely think OCUK have a great range of choices?! I'd be mad to be at all confident as there's so many entries and I've got no real idea what OCUK want.

Not sure why mentioning in another thread that I'm in this compo might help my chances in any way, either?! If anything it's the opposite as it's highlighting to OCUK they're probably going to lose a sale if I did win anything?!

I thought it was women that were meant to read too much into things! ;)

Anyway, I'm only doing what I do in my day job to make my work stand out as much as possible and to let the clients visualise the end goal as much as possible.

I think it's a bit mean to start character assassinating me based on such bizarre things... :(

Everything I've said I've meant and I hope it really does help Overclockers.

nib95 - Of course you can - no problems at all! Glad it was some use. Let me know if you'd like a stripped down version (have layers in photoshop still). (watch those femine wiles those - can't have tshirted women!)

Skippi90 - HAHAH! Underclockers - that made me laugh my head off! Wish I'd thought of that! ;) You definitely need a prize for the humour you've brought to the compo!

I think you're being a bit unfair here.

I will say this though, even though it breaks my promise to myself about "keeping schtum about it". There's an awful lot of undeserved fawning going on in this thread lately, something which makes me really uncomfortable.

It's weird, guys. Stop doing it.

Sorry yeah I was mainly thinking of skippi's extra friendly responses when referring to your gender, lol :D

I think "assassinating" is a bit harsh :p And come on, you must admit that they are not exactly "bizarre" :p. I've only highlighted the amount of clever things you put into packaging your logo for this competition, which shows that you know what you're doing. I only wish I thought of it first :p And anyway if your logo is as good as everyone is claiming it to be, then your "character" won't make any difference on whether you win or not, as all the logos will be judged fairly side by side, surely? Unless there's something you know that we don't? ;)
 
spirity - thanks, should have an asexual username I think... everything's become a bit complicated. I'd hope people are liking my design, not anything else like the fact I have a female username - could well be an 86yr old man from beirut for all anyone knows!... :(
