Thanks everyone! One requirement is that I receive the actual project file of the logo -- so png or similar. Thanks for the submits so far, I will be watching this contest closely and am very eager to select a winner. Please review the individual comments I provided per design to help capture my interests. Any questions, feel free to ask -- Thanks!

**Update** Thanks everyone for the submits. I realize the concept of squirrel in SquirrelySoft probably means there should be a Squirrel in the logo, but I am for ALL ideas, including those without! So thanks to all. For the logos that use the squirrel (where the "S" forms the tail), I was wondering what it would look like if the squirrel appeared head-shot style. What I mean: the current designs all show the profile (side view) of the squirrel, I would like to see him looking right at you -- so head turned , but tail still forming the "S". Perhaps this is a challenge, but would enjoy seeing it!

**Slogans** I just noticed that somehow the slogans I provided when I created the contest were truncated and never made it in the above summary. Here they are: SquirrelySoft: "Tough nut to crack security software" and also, I should add, we sell NUTs "NUTs: Network Utility Tools" "Got NUTs?"

Could the admin please do something with the copying problem?

Hi borjcornella, which one's look like they are being copied? Please reference by entry #.

Yeah, the plagiarism thing kinda freaked me out when I logged on today. Kish (Entry #46984, Entry #47002, 03, 05) uses almost my exact Nut-as-a-lock image from Entry #45535. Plus, Kish also takes naropada's layout from Entry #45449. .... But then naropada, I gotta say, your latest ideas (Entry #47078, and the ones near there) look like they came directly from borjcornella (Entry #46438). There are so many directions one can take this logo, it is odd to see so many that are so similar.

Ok folks, lets not copy. So far, this is where the votes stack up, most people are voting for: anpdesigns (logo embedded into the tail) borjcornella (squirrel holding a nut or padlock in mouth) They all look good, but so far, these two have really captured our attention. Thanks again for all of your efforts....everyone!

Hi, RibMan I have no objection to Kish having copied my idea but my entry 47078 has been intended to be something else...If you had paid more attention to my concept,you would surely have noticed that they have almost nothing in common. The padlock hole designed in the shape of a squirrel's tail was my own idea,not others' and I can tell it for sure;more than that the idea of using a padlock was demanded by the contest holder and therefore many of the designer subjected to that idea.

Hi, Ribman. I wasnt aware that you had the same idea... I usually am careful to not conjure designs similar to other entries. I have removed the ones you mentioned.

WOW! Braizen. Aaron Starr's #46092 squirrel character is a direct rip off of an ad on this very site for ADC Logos on the home page!
