Design Contest: Display Your Design Prowess and Achieve Ever-lasting Fame
Hey guys, many of you have written and requested to buy Gizmo gear: shirts, hats and such so that they can proudly show off their favorite web site.
As you know Gizmo's Freeware recently celebrated our first birthday. We've been blown away by the success of our site. The growth and popularity has surpassed all expectations and I want to say thank you to all who have contributed including you, our site visitors.
That's where you come in. We need someone to help design the graphics for the t-shirts and caps. So we are holding an exciting contest where anyone can submit their designs.
There is no prize money because ... we have no money ... However the winner will get full credit on our site and as a result of the publicity, will no doubt achieve ever lasting fame.
The winner will also score a free t-shirt and cap and the warm glow from knowing they have helped this site continue to bring you and the internet community the best freeware on the planet.

It's dead easy...see that bottom logo, change the 'top pick' bit to something else so that it says editor or whatever it was else you wanted to stick in there (my time is short on the net so I have to keep typing!).
It's not worth changing your logos, because like everyone else has pretty much already said, they're just fine! I think you've stumbled across something that really wouldn't serve a purpose because the purpose seems to have been served already. You could try saving it for next time when you really need to change your whole logo instead - THAT would be much better.
I agree keep what you have.
Not a bandwagon kind of guy. I am a fairly decent designer. All the comments above are correct. I wouldn't change a thing. Stay with the logo you have.
Your designer rocks!
Thanx

I agree completely with A Nichols. The work's already done - why re-invent a well designed and executed set of images? Whoever designed the existing graphics should be recognized for their excellent work.

Hi Guys
Having creating graphics for the last 15 years let me just say, why bother
your logos are exactly what you need, keeping them on your products gives continuity and they are very well designed and can be embroider easily.
Give whoever designed these the credit.
Thanks
