We want to thank everyone who submitted a design for the official Blogville logo contest. Unfortunately, there was a copyright concern raised with one of the entries. Because we do NOT want to violate any copyrights we decided to pull the post down. We feel that just pulling the logo in question would have invalidated the votes that were already cast so the most fair thing would be to just pull the plug on the contest. We're sorry for those who took the time to prepare and submit an entry. This copyright issue turned out to be much more complex than we expected and we were in over our heads. We hope everyone understands and once again are sorry this did not turn out well.

That's a bummer. Sorry it didn't work out.
This is so sad! Everyone put forth such effort to come up with a great logo. Well...guess it just wasn't meant to be. Sorry for everyone's hard work!
Oh no. How sad that this would happen. I mean it's just a contest and it all got ruined.

Oh wow! I'm sorry that this had to happen. I do hope that there will still be some kind of logo one day. It was a really great idea.
Sorry bout this. It were a really good idea though.
So sorry to read that. Copyright is such a tricky thing and really better not to take any chances so we agree with your decision. Pity though. Alas better be safe than sorry. We feel for you and all the participants and their hard work.
Best wishes Molly
oh no...that's so sad, sometimes the www has some traps... it was such a great idea.
I agree with your decision 187% to take down the post because of copyright. Too bad the contest didn't work out -- thanks for all your effort in trying to have the contest though.
Better to be safe then sorry. Copyright rules can be so complicated. We are sorry your contest (which is still a pawsome idea) didn't go the way you had hoped and you had to deal with all of this!
Oh Doods we are so sorry to hear about this, but you were correct in doing it. Copyrights are a very sticky thing and it could have went south quickly. I sure do appreciate all the work you and everyone else did though. We have lots of talent here in Blogville!!

Murphy & Stanley I think that was a very wise thing to do. I am sorry that it happened and I know the person who submitted that logo thought she was legal to use it. But even if you pay for an image somewhere you cannot use it all over Blogville.
That is why I drew my image from scratch.
You dogs had a great idea.
Thanks for being a friend

Sorry for you too. Copyright? It's only for Blogville. Best to forget the entire thing
