Dear Colleagues,

Please find some time on this contest in order to find the vector/stock art reference for the entries in this contest. There are so many designs which use floral, vintage, royal swirls. Based on the swirl's quality and corresponding qualifications of the designers it's obvious – they have used stock vector art in logos, which is forbidden.

I don't participate in this contest, so it's a matter of principle and courtesy.

Thanks.

please remember we need the link to the where the art is found, so we have proof when the designer comes back and complains or says no this isn't clipart. Thank you!

Sharie, we know:(.
Unfortunately, we can't provide links for most of the clip arts and obvious image tracing.

I think this is a good way to draw attention, through forum, and a best way to let know such designers they are noticed and eventually being caught and prove guilty. Hoping this will help to reduce copycats.
Don't you think so?:)

Paws for Thought

A lot of obvious 3rd part images and bad executions of lions, tigers, elephants, bears & mammoths, can be find on this contest:
Kryomaster : Dry Ice Blasting Machines

I understand, it is not everyday I see freakin' mammoth or London Skyline, but I would took and look at the photo/image and create it by myself.

God, I didn't look there at all:D
Thank you for that Sharie, this is new to me.

Regarding clipart, I was looking the other night through vector floral silhouette, there are tons of it... like needle in a hay. I thought it was waste of a time, hoping someone who works more than me with it, will find right link.

Not the only one in that contest, I saw it the other day.
And like Sherie said - many copied leading design... as well, all of those (except very few) are traced images.
