Hello all. Thank you all SO MUCH for the great work thus far. Though we've received a lot of submissions, there are only 2-3 designs that we really like and are considering at this time. We will personally let you know shortly if we feel your designs and design style are a good match for our brand as we don't want anyone investing more time if we aren't confident that you'll be able to deliver the winning design. If there are elements of your design that we like, we may try to contract you 1:1 to pay for that element of your work even if we don't select your overall design. We'll let you know 1:1 if you work falls in this category. For anyone that would like to provide additional submissions, please note that we're looking for a design that is sophisticated, debonair, and confident, yet unspoken (think James Bond). We ideally want something that is striking to the eye and draws attention to itself, not by being loud and flashy, but with bold understated elegance. We're planning to enter a crowded market so we really need something that will catch the eye and give you the sense that our product is probably going to smell like a nice cologne (which it well) and could be a good fit for men who are capable and confident that they're ready for whatever comes next. We don't want to push too far into "luxury" as we want this brand to also be attractive to younger men with good taste but a limited budget. If we were a car, we'd be a nice new Audi. We're also favoring submissions and design systems that show us how the design could be successfully applied to a broader lineup of products. Once again, thank you all for helping us to define and launch this new brand!

Hello all. We’re preparing to end the competition early. Just wanted to let you all know in case you were working on submitting something. We’ll most likely end it first thing tomorrow morning (Eastern US Time). If we haven’t reached out to you to say that your designs were in our top two for consideration, please don’t worry about trying to submit a new design. If we felt your design style was a good fit for our brand, we would have let you know. That said, we are thankful for all of your submissions and effort and will do our best to recognize your talent to the degree that the platform allows. We have had a great experience with this design contest and have been blown away by the work that you all have done. Thanks again!
