Rather than a logo competition, couldnt it have been a mascot competition. This long blonde haired elf girl who seems very out of place on an anime news website really needs to be taken down, whatever her name is. I bet most of the people who come to ANN don't even know who the hell she is. Not a mascot just a blonde anime like character that sits at the top of the page. No association with ANN at all.


And she is answered in the FAQ:

*sign* You are not the only one. We probably going to have to wait until Monday morning to find out.

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to win. Sad I made two crappy banners in the last minute because my computer was in the shop for almost a week. I only got it back Thursday night. So, I was only got to finished them on Friday. I was so disappointed that I couldn't do a lot of banners as planned. And I got so much good design ideas too. Sad

Oh well, I wonder if there will another holiday banner contest next year?

I made two banners (same major graphic in a different design). I wanted to make more and had a nifty snow globe one going until I got sick. Couldn't hold my mouse steady enough through all the coughing to work on it. Sad

Soo... come on, guys, it's 12/20, where's the logo! And I hope we get to see all the entries!!

What was that message earlier when I tried to log in to the site, only to receive a black screne with the message, "This site is defaced!!!"? Confused I sent an e-mail to Protoculture about it, and they told me that you were a victim of a computer haker taking advantage of your server problems. I'm so glad that you were able to fix it so quickly; that would have been devastating.

I'm sorry for being impatient, but I would like to know what's going with the contest? You said there will be an annoucement early today, but it's already pass 4pm EST! There hasn't been any word about the contest since yesterday. Are you still fixing the server? or still haven't decided on the winner yet? Will the contest be delayed again? Please say something! Anything! Those of us (including me) who entered are getting a little worried...

Sorry, personal matters got in the way today.

As someone recently said to me, it seems that everytime you want to get some work done, something comes up...

First there was the PHP exploit, then the hack, and finally "personal stuff" (nothing bad, don't worry).

But the winning logo is now up, and all the entries have been posted.
