Congrats “onesummer” for your winning entry! Mr. Idle thanks all “competitors” for participating in this competition!
It is, as it is during every competition on LogoSauce. I could choose almost every entry!
BlueHorseShoe loves LogoSauce, so do I. thank you for your great designs!
the monopoly action symbols could be a good source of inspiration: http://www.themonopolystore.com/collmore.htm please consider that the action symbols are placed on fields of the CouchTycoon gamebord (scribble @ blog.couchtycoon.net) Godspeed!
Mr. Idle just called me from his residence on Beef Island and asked me as one of his executing team members to post this comment in his name. Since he was born here on logosauce he tracked the development of his place of birth. He´s still fascinated of it´s stable growth, it´s absolute high quality level of participating designers and the results they create.
There is also one short comment in my own name: thanks for the black site again ;) Mr. Idle also asked me to thank Digger for his great support!
I can vouch for these guys. We’re working on another project with them. Couch Tycoon looks like a really exciting concept! This is a bit unusual because it’s not really a logo (the cool Couch Tycoon logo was already created in another LS competition) – but CT asked us if they could run this and a few other comps. We agreed because they are all related and this is about building a whole new concept with several separately designed pieces. Have fun and good luck.
Congrats mate!
