"...Could you tell us where abouts on the camera the logo will go and what are the dimensions of the place where it will go? .."
Hi Paul,
we have not a final decision about the location yet. But I guess the best locations are shown already in the first proposals. I know that this makes it harder to propose a proper logo. But we have to double check with Kyocera first. Since a logo needs some space, it will be either on the front on the upper right, or on the back on the left side of the screen - or both. I guess a logo on two different places makes it more expensive. I will come back to you next week hopefully with a better answer.
Regarding the timing:
Currently we want to make this competition until Monday, 22nd of March.
On Tuesday, 23rd, everybody should vote for their preferred proposal latest.
On Wednesday, 24th, we will look at the votings and the owner of contaxinfo (Andreas, Marcus and me) will decide which one of the top rated proposals here is the best alternative for this purpose. So your votings are very important. But it depends obviously also on the cameramodel, i.e. the space on that camera for it etc.
If there are any new information out there which would affect the logo design, we will publish it as soon as we know it and will of course also extend the voting and proposal period. If new information affects also the old designs, which are already uploaded, they do not count and the user can upload a new proposal to have equal rights to other users, who just uploaded after that information. This is only fair I think.
But this is just a rule in case something important happens inbetween. We do not think at the moment that we have to postbone that deadline.
As a sidenote: I will be on travel next week a lot and will be also on Cebit one or two days ( a German Computer & Camera exposition where many camera producer are represented), so I can not check the forum as regular as normally.
Thanks a lot for the great proposals so far. But do not stop, we are eager to see even more
I am really pleased by the active participation from all of you. I am sure this will impress Kyocera a lot!
