Patrick Boivin October 30, 2007 at 1:47am.
how can the contest end after the trials if the idea was to get a logo for the trials???

JP October 26, 2007 at 7:30pm.
There are some sweet logos up already!
I'm not at all convinced that the Nike machine could do any better in such a short period of time. Abdi has inspired the masses

madhu_x, thanks but I figured it out.

Johhnyboy October 23, 2007 at 6:34pm.
dude... flotrack is not abt professionals.. its abt people,runners and the community so my 'unprofessional' opinion if you wont do it, let the others do it.
#28
Madhu_x October 23, 2007 at 6:32pm.
hey youruntoo... go ahead and email the file to i will see what the problem is.

JP October 23, 2007 at 5:55pm.
Phil Knight paid $35 for the creation of the Nike "swoosh" in 1971. Adjusted for inflation that's about $175 now. Abdi is being very generous. Heck, if he agreed to wear my logo in the trials, I'd do it for free.
#26
Cory Scheadler October 23, 2007 at 4:42pm.
Mark, I can't upload my file, I even changed it form gif to jpg and I keep getting the warning about it needing to be one of these two types but it won't upload. Suggestions?
#25
Whatev October 23, 2007 at 2:41pm.
who cares, they're letting people actually have a chance to be a part of something. That $600 doesnt havta be given out and they could design their own. look at the positives
#24
John Tomac October 23, 2007 at 1:51pm.
$600 and swag is a lowball offer for a logo design. NIKE's has deep pockets and a creative department that should be handling this. That's my professional opinion.

Commish October 23, 2007 at 12:40pm.

Classic Flotrack video!
We got to see Adbi running, goofing off, got a feel for Flagstaff, a little music AND a big contest.
Thanks Andrew
Good luck Abdi!

Where's Brad Yewer when you need some good ol fashion smack talk?
#14
Joe McLoughlin October 23, 2007 at 8:26am.
i say go for it mark, it's not like you're gonna win anyways (yeah, you read that right, this contest needs a little smack talk)...
#13
Mark From Flotrack October 23, 2007 at 8:24am.
anonymous,

Yeah I have heard of that rule but we're not a regular company and don't follow standard company rules because we think they are boring. We are just as excited about the black cactus logo contest as you are. Abdi is picking the logo and I hope the community trusts Abdi will pick the best one. If we have a good idea/logo do you think Abdi should not get to see it? The goal is to get Abdi the best logo right?
If the community thinks we should not be allowed then I guess we will swalow it..... Just let us know.
In the end this is just for fun and we want to be apart of it just like everyone else.

#11
Joe McLoughlin October 23, 2007 at 7:59am.
