Why did you close the contest before the appointed time?!?!

Hello daria,

I closed it because she was the only designer that was submitting what my brief described. She responded to every reply that I made and every change that I requested. Perfect customer service.

There were 10 different logos submitted and hers was exactly what I wanted.

I have to applaud you on your design though. Yours is also perfect.

If you would have submitted yours before I closed the contest I would have had a hard time deciding between the two.

Thank You Kindly,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Well the deadline for submissions were set for 1 September, please bear in mind that designers have other work that they are attending to as well and plan time spent on various projects according to deadlines set on these projects.

While I'm happy that you got the perfect design that you required, I feel that it is unfair towards the other contestants such as Daria and ourselves who have not yet finished their designs to close the project pre-maturely as our hard work can't get published on our accounts or even stand a chance for consideration.

Please keep this in mind if you were to post a project again.

Regards,
Chris
