Designers & DesignBay aficionado,
We have added 6 hot new features to DesignBay and you guys have added over 1000 designs in the last month. Our
customers love it! We have set the table and some of you are cooking
up Michelin star designs. Here is a recent testimonial from Aquatica (a
recent client):

I don't know why
more people do not flock to this service. You literally have the world
working on your project. You are able to pull so many ideas from so
many people. The logo I picked is great and really pulls all the
themes I wanted into it's ultimate design.
Thank you again,
M.R.
Aquatica, Inc.

Well done to Serkan Yener (a freelance graphic designer from Australia) for his Aquatica logo and helping to satisfy the customer!
Hot New Features!
We have been super busy trying to implement all your great suggestions! Here is what we've done in November:
- New search and filtering to the design jobs and contests page so it's easier for you to find specific jobs or jobs that are closing in the next few days
- Improved the graphic designer directory for customers to better see your work and search for your profiles
- Added a concept description field to the submit design form.
- Deadline for customers - that's right, we're introducing a 15 day deadline for customers to make a decision on contest winners.
We've just entered a new clause into the DesignBay User Agreement requiring
clients to decide on which logo they will buy within 15 days of their
project closing. We have started gradually introducing this to our
existing client base and in the next few weeks automate it with all new
and existing clients. This has led to NMS and PaperZone (finally!) awarding their projects.
- Prepaid projects - we've just added optional prepaid Open Briefs so that clients can and you will be able to see which projects have their budgets safely deposited with DesignBay.
- The new feedback system (see previous blog post)
Welcome to New Designers

Other Recent Winners
And here are some of the designs that have been sold recently on DesignBay:
In other news, we have just launched our first flyer design contest (lets make it a good one!) and have now introduced month by month designer rankings on our design jobs home page (which take into consideration earnings, number of submissions and customer feedback into account)!
What do you guys and girls think?? Looking forward to hearing your feedback and ideas!
