hai,admin
i hv just received infraction bcos i use the frog elements in HopSwitch logo design ,but i want to ask the reason why? bcause to me my design is not similar to any design in the contest.the only problem is someone already bring this frog idea first (which is my entry is having a very different implementation).but then if you look at other entry that everyone else also bring the similar switch button too does that seems also copying idea?i don't understand at all.
please be kind to respond.thank you.

i don't want to look the ridiculous in these case but if you see this company name HopSwitch is related with something that hops such as rabbit,frog,kangaroos etc plus the switch elements.so i decided to use frog as the element (which i don't realize that it is categorizing as "copying") in different implementation from the others.

The fact is - if one comes with the frog, there are swarm of frog. And if the frog is being high rated, swarm is tripled.

Frog was not requested in the brief.
Nex time, try to be more original.

ok,i understand but could you please explain about the "swarm of switch" button?i assume there's a lot different switch sign too?
i'm really sorry that i may sound ridiculous,but i need to understand why the frog things is consider copying and the switch button is not?definitely it still makes me confuse.

Switch is part of the name, so the symbol is directly related to the contest.
While the word Hop is much more generic and its representation is up to the imagination of the designers.

ok.its still confusing for me and alot of question in my mind,but i will respect the community though.
in future,i hv to be very2 careful with this open contest or might be the safest option is to choose a blind one i supposed.
thanks anyway for the explanation.

The frog is unique and not requested for this contest. The first designer to use the frog owns the idea/concept. If the ch had asked for a frog then the frog is open for all.
