Hello Contest Holder and fellow designers, Just a word to the wise before you get too excited about using an exclamation point instead of an "i" in the word think: It's been done a thousand thousand times. I'm not saying that the designer who used that concept in this contest copied anyone. But I am saying that it is not unique or original. In just two minutes of googling "th!nk logo" I found the following logos that already use that concept: http://www.z1group.ru/sites/default/files/pictures/think_logo.png http://thinkmarketing.me/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/tmws_logo_web.png http://climatechange.thinkaboutit.eu/think4/post/a_green_turn_for_greece http://www.rethinkwinnebago.org/images/reTHINK_Lakeshore_logo_web.png http://www.nintendo.com.au/web_images/Disney%20Think%20Fast%20logo.jpg http://thinkcreativemediaworks.com/Websites/tcmw/Images/PageGraphics/Email_Genius_Logo.png http://www.thinkgraphical.be/images/logo.png http://www.jbennettdesign.com/images/thinktank.jpg http://thinkpinkspage.com/Home_files/Think%20Pink%20Logo%20Transparent.png http://www.freeindex.co.uk/customscripts/systemfunctions/showimage.asp?img=02size60172KB.jpg&folder=listingpics/209/396/&maxW=200&maxH=120 http://www.thinkagency.com/images/think-logo.jpg http://www.stripeyhorsecreative.com/graphic-design-images/graphic-design-portfolio/logo-graphics/graphic-design-think-logo-design.jpg http://ec.europa.eu/ireland/images/think-about-it-logo.jpg http://www.wiiwoo.com/thinkfathers/ThinkFathers_logo.gif http://web.thinkcomputing.net/logo_think.JPG http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-36435775/stock-photo-orange-word-think-with-an-exclamation-mark-replacing-the-letter-i-front-view.html http://water.thinkaboutit.eu/ http://www.thinkev.com/ http://www.trademarkia.com/services/home_logo.ashx?sid=76124225&size=200 http://www.prairie.org/files/ihc/images/ThinkArtlogo.preview.JPG So, you may not want to go down that well-trodden road.

Hi, contest holder it's ur decision if you allowed us to use exclamation mark with your design since it's been use in many logos to prevent from crab mentality syndrome. Sincerrely leighanne

Yeah, that's cool Hans and Leighanne. I think your design is very nice, Leighanne. Best of luck to you. I don't have any other ideas for your contest right now Hans, and Leighanne is doing a great job and providing numerous variations, working hard for you. So I hope you'll eventually pick her as your winner. Best regards, Matthew
