Hi. Thanks for the invite. This sounds like a fun project. Would you consider making it guaranteed? I no longer work on projects that are not guaranteed.

Well, I tried doing a design contest for this logo about 2 weeks ago and I received about 20 designs, but only 5 or 6 of them were unique, the rest were variations. I had to cancel the project and lost my participation payments because I didn''t really get any variety of designs. 

Thank you for a very thought out response. You've made your side of the argument very clear and I wish you great success this time. In fairness though - you did not lose the participation payments.. you paid a very small amount of your total budget to attract creative people to your project. That should be seen as a positive, and not a negative. I'm sorry you didn't get the return you invested in the first time but a great deal of time and effort is left unpaid for on this site in order to maximize the client's potential choices. Pulling your project repeatedly in order to get exactly what you're looking for penalizes everyone involved.
I appreciate your hands-on / more direct approach this time and I think that will yield you better results.

Dear Mike O
Your previous contest was not guaranted and maybe this was a reason for wich you were received only few suggestions
