No-ones pointed out that the design brief is one of the most weirdest on there and maybe taken as a little bit of a giggle.

The opening line...

Green frog god forbid!! No way that would be to obvious????

but due to naming issues I cannot post the name here
The last word is frog, mmm the options available! Blue Frog maybe or am I being a little to obvious.

Think I'll stop there you get the idea. I wouldn't get too bent out of shape I'd be surprised if the US$127.88 is paid for a blue frog.

Should I pull my frog? I think it's probably close to what they're looking for if this brief is real. It did honestly only take about 30 minutes to draw. It wasn't very difficult to do. But if we don't stand a chance collecting the money.....any suggestions for those of us who have submitted?

My first thought was that another artist is commissioning the frog art for a logo they are designing and want credit for to their client.

I do agree....it is a weird brief.

There's this option too.

San Antonio's Blue Frog Children's Theatre

Quite a bit of Blue Frog things on the internet. But maybe this is nothing to do with any of them.

I love the frog I'd leave it if they don't want it someone else might. But I wouldn't get overly competitive on this one if they haven't got a name they can publish it's always going to sound a bit off.

I noticed there are a lot of contest whitout any winner, it is very annoying. It's a lack of respect from the contest holder.

i agree, it's like they are designers looking for inspiration for a logo for a client!

There does seem to be too many contests with no winners. I like that LS is changing their submission guidelines.

Yep....I agree with you Carrotnapper. And I honestly hope I don't find my frog anywhere else because I did a major search to make sure it doesn't look like any other frog art out there.

My dad is a lawyer (lucky for me). ; )

I love the forums that get the money upfront guarenteeing (sp?) at least one designer will receive something for their efforts.
