With all the recent new changes within DC, are mockups now allowed in logo contests? I've noticed a few logo contests where designers are starting to mockup logo presentations onto shirts, hats, product, etc. Just wondering if the rules had changed to now allow mockups? Thanks.

no not allowed in logo contests unless the contest holder requests this. Sometimes you have to read through all of the comments because a ch might ask only one designer to do a mockup.
So always go by no mockups in logo contests. If you see one that we have missed then go ahead and report the entry, so we can take a look at it
Thanks

I would like to put myself forward on this topic. There is a logo contest currently on the go Roller Derby Where I have used a Shirt mock up for 3 of my designs. The reason being it clearly states in the original brief:
"Niagara Roller Girls are looking for an unique logo, that is athletic, feminine, and eye-catching. We would like to keep it clean, since it will most likely be cut in vinyl, and printed on shirts. And it should be something that can be produced in both black & white and colour."
I hope this was acceptable as the CH's brief did explain what the logo was to be used for. If however, i have broken the rule regarding mock-ups, then please remove my designs in question. I hope this is not the case.
Regards
SJK

no mockups in "logo" contests if you see a mockup in a logo contest simply report the design. One thing to keep in mind some contestholder will ask specific designers to do a mockup so when this is reported we have to research this and take the action needed

arsOrum I talked with the contestholder this morning about this, She wants this so it will be allowed in this contest. What happens is designers see a logo contest with all of the mockups and then think hey it is ok and then a cascading effect happens, you start seeing a rush of logo contests with mockups
So please designers read the brief, read the guidelines and always always no mockups in logo contests unless the contestholder has requested or we note there is an exception for a fro a contest.

I have that same problem for this contest yesterday...
Logo for Trustripes Mobile App and Web
....Firstly, they change the brief...my notification email message late problem still not settled yet...So, I keep revising based on their old brief...until that email came...
Then, some designer put icon on their design...So the client ask me for icon mockup...I feel not to give any, so, I contact Sharie...and Sharie provide a comment for the client (thanks Sharie). Few minutes after that...that client ask me for icon mockup again...Sorry Sharie, I placea a bit strict comment for that client there. I can do an icon mockup in a snap....but I have my own self respect, and i respect fair contest for others. I know I can lose that contest for this, but WHO CARE?
Another thing, what for that icon design contest section in DC? hehehe

It is not my style complaining here and there (that is why my number of post is only 100++), but it seems that this site system become worst year by year. Even a late notification email can't be solved? It is almost a year before now again I start entering contest here although the prize here is much lower than other contest site. I don't care at all, even community contest with low price I try to give my best shot.
