As we announced in the last blog post a few changes have been made, indeed it took a bit more then we anticipated but the maintenance is over for a few days now and some changes are directly visible.
For a few changes you can check the Help Center and the FAQ and also you will be able to directly see some of the changes under your creative account.
There were a few test projects inserted and some of our freelancers were trying to login and start working on this projects which by the time were already removed by us, sorry for this issue but as we announced in the last post this were just test projects so that we could directly verify the integrity of the changes made and make sure that everything is working correctly.
Starting today any new project that will be added will be a valid project posted by the clients so please jump on it :).
We are now declaring the maintenance over and the website work completed.
If any of you will see any bugs or such regarding the website and its functionality please let us know.
Thank you guys and girls and happy designing!

Creative.gd will undergo a maintenance during the next few days so parts of the website may not be accessible all the time amd some new projects will show up with bogus information, please ignore this projects as they are more likely test projects to verify different features we are working on.
We are trying to change a few things here and there and optimize the website.
Also some features will see small changes.

Here is an interesting article I found on: http://www.tannersite.com/rules-of-logo-design/
45 Rules for Creating a Great Logo Design
- Do not use more than three colors.
- Get rid of everything that is not absolutely necessary.
- Type must be easy enough for your grandma to read.
- The logo must be recognizable.
- Create a unique shape or layout for the logo.
- Completely ignore what your parents and/or spouse think about the design.
- Confirm that the logo looks appealing to more than just three (3) individuals.
- Do not combine elements from popular logos and claim it as original work.
- Do not use clipart under any circumstances.
- The logo should look good in black and white.
- Make sure that the logo is recognizable when inverted.
- Make sure that the logo is recognizable when resized.
- If the logo contains an icon or symbol, as well as text, place each so that they complement one another.
- Avoid recent logo design trends. Instead, make the logo look timeless.
- Do not use special effects (including, but not limited to: gradients, drop shadows, reflections, and light bursts).
- Fit the logo into a square layout if possible, avoid obscure layouts.
- Avoid intricate details.
- Consider the different places and ways that the logo will be presented.
- Invoke feelings of being bold and confident, never dull and weak.
- Realize that you will not create a perfect logo.
- Use sharp lines for sharp businesses, smooth lines for smooth businesses.
- The logo must have some connection to what it is representing.
- A photo does not make a logo.
- You must surprise customers with presentation.
- Do not use more than two fonts.
- Each element of the logo needs to be aligned. Left, center, right, top, or bottom.
- The logo should look solid, with no trailing elements.
- Know who is going to be looking at the logo before you think of ideas for it.
- Always choose function over innovation.
- If the brand name is memorable, the brand name should be the logo.
- The logo should be recognizable when mirrored.
- Even large companies need small logos.
- Everyone should like the logo design, not just the business that will use it.
- Create variations. The more variations, the more likely you are to get it right.
- The logo must look consistent across multiple platforms.
- The logo must be easy to describe.
- Do not use taglines in the logo.
- Sketch out ideas using paper and pencil before working on a computer.
- Keep the design simple.
- Do not use any “swoosh” or “globe”symbols.
- The logo should not be distracting.
- It should be honest in its representation.
- The logo should be balanced visually.
- Avoid bright, neon colors and dark, dull colors.
- The logo must not break any of the above rules.

After receiving a few suggestions regarding the star ratings associated with each entry we have decided to make it so that only the contest holder can determing the star rating of each entry. This will accomplish 2 things:
1) Users will no longer be able to give themselves a high rating or give another designer a low rating.
2) Designers will be able to guage what the client/buyer is liking based on the way they are rating the entries on their specific project.
We feel this will make the entries ratings fair and it will make them a tool to help the designers to have a better understanding of what the client is liking or disliking. Feel free to comment with your opinions and feedback.
Thanks,
Creative.gd
