I'm reposting the details below:

Apologies for not having this up yesterday. The contest starts Saturday, February 14th (today).

## Details

**Bounty**:

* Grand Prize = .20 BTC
* 1st Runner Up: .10 BTC
* 2nd Runner Up: .05 BTC

**Suspense Date**:

Saturday, February 21st, 12 Noon PST

**Explanation**:

The logo for this site is one we had made at [Tailor Brands](https://www.tailorbrands.com/business). While it's not bad, I know and you know that we can do better.

Create a new logo for Backed. You can use any software program you like, from Photoshop to MS Paint. Try and make your submission of a higher resolution though, as it is always easier to degrade rather than enhance. However, for your submission it is recommended that you display something with dimensions that will fit in a post (i.e. 600px width). Also, we're hoping that once resized the image could be used on the upper left of the site header to replace the current logo.

We're not putting out style guidelines, just something that you think would fit this site (use your imagination!). Feel free to use whatever color scheme you like, as we may be changing the color and styling of the site anyways.

You can incorporate the current slogan, any of the [slogans from our slogan contest](https://www.backed.io/posts/post/2), or a new one if you're feeling especially creative. (I still have a soft spot for *The Bacon Of News*)

If you need a place to upload your image, try imgur.

**Eligibility**:

To be eligible you must create an account on Backed and provide a valid Bitcoin address (so we can send you Bitcoin if your slogan/entry is chosen). Only one account per person can be used for this contest.

Please link to your submission in the comments of this post. Alternatively you can create a new post with displays your image and gives a bit of information about it. Please title it something other than 'my submission for the contest'.

**Rules**:

You can submit up to **two** entries per account.

Sure, I'd like to join!

Getting on Fiver now, to find he best logo for your site. *joke.

Mine will be about two blokes in a tent. {Broke back mountain} and the one saying .... I have bitcoin in my pocket, want a tip? or I have your back ...covered.  ;D *Now that must be funny.

You think it will work?  ;D ;D ;D

I am in. :)

Not very good at logo making. But I will give it a try when I get some free time. :)

Interesting!
Reserved my spot!

Just in case it gets too famous
RESERVED

I get seat here. ;D

(Note: I will publish my proposal here)

Edit:

This is my proposal: https://i.imgur.com/KF5Frbm.png
https://i.imgur.com/KF5Frbm.png

It's a key and a keyhole. It's a vector drawing and the letters could be rendered only with CSS code (of course, the left icon needs an IMG element).

It doesn't have colour for the moment. Which colours do you prefer?

Reserved !

I'll use this space...

RESERVED

Reserved for Zlatan.

Reserved.

Reserved as well. Got some ideas will try to spin something up.

Reserved. I will deliver it soon ;)

here's my simple attempt

Hehe nice one but This logo may be a joke in front of the Prizes

Not bad!

I want to reserve a spot. I'll give a try when I get home.

Edit: I don't have time this whole week to give it a shot. So chances are I might not submit anything.

Please do, looking forward to seeing your entry!

Reserve my place!
Will be submitting the entry soon!

I will create one too :)
Will post it soon.

Felt creative, so decided to try a slogan of my own:

>with background

https://i.imgur.com/b0c2083.png


>transparent background

I also used your slogan:


>with background

https://i.imgur.com/1qlddoZ.png


>transparent background

Anything can be changed if you would like. I can remove watermarks if I win a prize.

Good luck everyone.

I just posted my entry (https://www.backed.io/posts/post/72#comment-376), just for fun  :P

Really great designs my favourite is EcuaMobi & lemipawa

Nothing against your art ,but isn't this is a Nazi symbol? correct me if i'm wrong.

It's actually related with the russian revolution posters :)

Take a look by yourself:

Seems like its related to both of them , it was a group against the nazis i think ,but i may be wrong ..

Anyway ,Good luck to all competitors!

Some nice logos here, will be posting my entry soon.

Well it's just a fist! hehe.
It normally means fight, power or effort (especially group effort) and has been used for several things.

In this case it's intended to represent 'power' as in 'Powered by you'.

Thanks for sharing this info buddy.

Entry from kori's behalf

https://i.imgur.com/THbQtM9.png

I have made more designs for the logo which are there in the link!
But let me explain abt this logo
The man with hands at the back shows that people donot have indepence and backed has newspaper text in it
So if u combine both it shows that even press doesnt have indepence untill it is anon!

I being a designer myself knows how u need to think
Respect!
U made the competition tough!
Regards

These are really good!

Contest closes in half an hour (12 PM PST).

It'll take me a bit to judge and put together a post announcing the winners. Once I'm done I'll post the results here and on Backed.

Thanks everyone!

Excited to hear who the winner is! I've been putting hard work into these contests, hopefully it will pay off.

Good luck to all entries!

Hang on! My MS-Paint entries coming up..   ;D

Done so that OP could cancel a few and make judgement easier ;)

How do you guys add things into the logo? From where do you get it?

My second entry:  ;D

http://i61.tinypic.com/2elxeub.jpg

Nice photo, I like it. ;D

There are very nice logos here, winning will be difficult.

lol this one was nice.
Really funny xD
Nice use of words :D

Alright, results are in. Thanks for the submissions every one, they were awesome. I wish I had the bitcoin to tip you all!

https://www.backed.io/posts/post/109

Congrats Kori, you've won! Do you have a BTC address handy by chance?

Congratz Kori ^_^

Second one should have won in my opinion, the first one isn't even that good. Third was decent as well.

Ah well, just like last contest, it's over and nothing can be done. Congrats winners!

Wow. Congratz to the winners :D
Was really awesome designs :)
(Certainly couldn't do that with MS Paint)

A sincere thanks to CryptoJunky and Backed for adding a seperate category for my entry. Found out I won 0.05BTC too.. Thanks ;D

Thank you all
For appreciating my design and hardwork
Feeling like a boss :D

You are late buddy. The Contest is already Over  ;D

Wow! Congratz man! That logo looks very nice!  :D

I don't like the winner logo, but congratulations for the winners. :(

Congratulations Kori on winning this.
Was really a nice logo. The idea behind the logo was awesome

OP when are you going to pay the winners? Kori has not yet received his 0.2 BTC

Congrats to the winners!

I confirm I received my prize for the "Most Likely To Lead To A Resistance Movement Or Revolution" category.

Haha thanks for that.

Great contest, thanks for choosing me as the winner for "Best General Ad For Backed"

Kori still has not received bounty.

He will send the btc as soon as he comes online.... ty for ur concern :)

Just sent it, and congrats!

I still don't have an address for ndnhc, but will send once I do. All others should have received their prizes.

Gratz, but honestly very poor logo, If i'd of known something like that would of won I wouldn't over spent over an hour designing mine. Competition had so much potential yet again poor designs and poor imagination.

I do not agree with you ,
in my opinion , Kori deserve the win.

I don't agree with them neither. The logo is good and professional. :)

Also confirming receipt of 0.05BTC :)

The logo is black in color and appears on a blue background.

How about changing the colot of the logo or the background to make it more appalling appealing better ?

Or it make the top right portion background white or something? I don't know how it will look overall, but might be worth testing it.  ;)

Haha sorry, please don't consider this a correction I just thought it was a funny typo :) - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/appalling (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/appalling)

;)

I got spell check on. Honestly, got the spelling wrong when I typed it in first. Its meaning include 'horrifying'?? lol, changed it. :D

I meant 'appealing' as in appealing to the eyes. Thanks for spotting it. :)

Thank you lamipawa
U are a sweet heart ^_^

You are just jealous that someone else won. Aren't you?
Kori deserved this win. He would have put in a lot of hard work in designing this logo and it looks absolutely tremendous.
Congrats Kori.

Probably you're right ,
The jealousy is killing him  ;)

its fine i would also have felt jealous
so lets stop fighting !
