I sponsored a 24 hour logo contest and I could not be happier with the results. In that short period, I received 573 separate designs. It was hard, but I narrowed it to 6, and selected a design by Nana445 as the winner. She was very productive, submitting over 30 designs, all of which made earnest attempts to convey the objects that I cited for the new creation. The process was easy. The results were satisfying.
