I'm actually pretty disappointed with most, if not all, the entries so far. ESPECIALLY when there is a $50 prize up for grabs. For starters, if your going to make a logo - at least do it in high resolution and make sure it looks clean with no staggered edges and what not. No clan/team is going to be willing to display a low quality logo on a shirt or banner. The logo represents the team and if it doesn't look professional, the team wont look professional, thus losing recruitment/sponsership opportunities due to negative impressions or what not.
It's called "vectorizing". Any logo and can be made any size once it's become vectorized.
Also, Flaunt's logo looks VERY professional, and Kalikah's logo is just as professional and not to mention the image she embedded is HUGE. You're saying they're not clean / high res?

I know what you mean Aean, but I feel you could have phrased it a bit more kindly
Some designs obviously look better than others but thats the whole point of a competition. Making rules like "it has to look professional" wouldn't really help the competition. I think its important that everyone can have a go

Just FYI, I AM a professional. I spent the amount of time on it like I would on a job, around 1/2 an hour. That's what I'd charge for that amount of work. Want something better? Pay me a better rate - usually my logos START between $150 - $200. Not bad for 20 min of sitting around, bored and hungover, putting my precious time and effort into something, using my professional skills and professional level software. Before posting such criticism, please have a thought to the time and effort of those who have effectively donated their skills. And maybe you should have a go too, see how 'professional' you can make your stuff look.
Oh and you know what, it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there especially for those who use these kind of comps as opportunities to expand their skills, in a NON JUDGMENTAL environment. So good on you guys for having a go and don't let one person's view stop you from doing your best
