**UPDATE** (1) Don''t forget that a tagline has been added. Please see yesterday''s public note. Tagline should be added between the show title, and my picture. Tagline is "Exploding your life" without the quotes. It should have a look or feel of something exploding. (2) When using my picture, please darken the tint slightly so that it doesn''t contrast so much with the overall design. Since darker-colored designs are currently in the running, my picture should blend a bit better. (3) My picture can now be in "squares" instead of circles, as was in some designs. I''ve sent individual comments tto specific designs as needed. Thank you!

NOTE: Apologies to designers who have received multiple copies of the same private comment. There is something strange with the Crowd system that is posting multiples. ****PLEASE*** Be sure to read the full design brief, including all the "nice-to-have", AND read ALL the recent public comments. I''ve spent a lot of time ensuring you have the information you need to be successful. Going forward, designs that do not include the right elements and punctuation may be eliminated on receipt. Thank you in advance for fully reading all your individual and public feedback, plus all sections of the design brief (including recent updates.) Thank you!

NOTE: This is an updated version of a private designer comment. Hope it helps anyone with the same question. The best place to see all the details is to read through the public comments. The brief colors were left general, but the sliders indicate the type of feel. Also, the brief and comments clearly state other elements, such as "Bangin''" includes an apostrophe at the end, things like that. NOTE: I *did* have a bunch of reference files attached until yesterday. Unfortunately, a lot of designers here were just copying that with very small differences. Here is what I suggest: (1) read the brief again (2) read all the public comments (3) Think about the male-nature of the show (4) remember that my picture isn''t prominent. It is smaller, like the "host" or "guest host". (5) "Exploding your life" should resemble something like "exploding" - but in a good way (6) The background, colors, should denote a very BUSINESS feel. Darker blues, blacks, that type of thing. Some designs have included skyscrapers and aerial overview shots of busy cities. (7) it has to have an urban (not ghetto) type of feel to it. Hope that helps. I''ll also re-post these comments publicly.

FYI: I''ve updated the brief to incorporate recent public and private comments. Also, the sliders have been adjusted to further emphasize the nature, look, and feel of the show. Thank you.

We have a winner! A special thanks to everyone who participated in the contest. We received several high quality designs, and it wasn''t easy to choose. Thanks again.
