Sometimes I see designs in a contest by other designers that I really like and that I think reflects the company in a good way. I was thinking that there should be a way to show that to the CH and the designer. My suggestion would be a like-button (not tied to Facebook), a "+"-system so that under each design there is a little box with 0, 2 or 53 likes. No negatives, just a way for designers to appreciate each others work.

It might or might not affect the CH's decision, but regardless, I think it would benefit the CH and make sure he/she gets the best design possible. When choosing a logo, the message it convey to outsiders is very important, in my opinion, so this might be a good feature for the CH as well.

And of course you shouldn't be able to like your own designs and only be able to like each design once.

This feature was recently implemented with DC. If you notice at the bottom in the left-hand corner of each entry in a contest, there is a little 'thumbs up' icon and counter box. :)

I have seen that on some of the contests but not all. But it's really not the same thing, what I'm suggesting is much smaller; only for the designers and the contest holders here on DC. The like-button now is tied to a social media of your choice and maybe you don't want to tell the whole world about, it not being that big of a deal, but you still want to let the designer and contest holder know that you think a design is good. I hope I'm not to confusing.

Oh I understand now Eirien. I think it would be a good idea if the 'like' button was also available on each designers' portfolio page. That would make it easy for designers to let another designer know that they like their work! :)

Hey Painted Pony just saw your Tire king logo. Really NICE! I thought I would take this chance to say I like your work since there seems to be no other way to let you know.

Best Wishes,

Ravenpark

I totally agree Eirien. I would even be for a like button just for the designers. I don't want to tell everyone on my social media I liked another design and I also do not want to sway the CH into someone else design but I would love to encourage others when I see fantastic work. Many times I am so shocked at a design being eliminated and being able to make that designer feel better would be awesome.

it could sway a CHs vote though, and we are not suppose to comment on other designs. What if you could only "LIKE" entries in a contest that we do not participate in to make it more impartial?

It could be implemented so that only us designers could see it - then it would be completely impartial. I often see designs I like and would like to give the designer a pat on the back. I think this would be a nice feature to have and would add to the sense of community.

That's a great idea Dex. Are they the actual number of likes you've got? Could also say something like this on the profile page "DEXMIND176 - 1,000,000 likes".

That's a great idea.
What I originally meant was a feature to like a particular design and not only the designer as a person, although that is another great feature.

Perhaps this could expand to an ability to send PMs with design specific quotes. Say for example that you see a design you like you could Like It as well as send a message "Really great design, your choice of color is perfect" or it could be used to give personal advise like "I like you logo, good work! Try to change the color to teal and I think it will benefit even more.".
