Guys!

Ok. We have made up our minds regarding the gallery page on our website. We would like to change it to reflect our design portfolios. And we need the portfolios ASAP.

From this time on we will be accepting five (5) free logo and (5) free banner designs for interested individuals or companies. This is a FIRST email, FIRST serve basis. Well, we might go for 7 free if there is a tie. :)

This contest will run until Monday, December 10, 2001 at 9:30 P.M. (+800 GMT) . We will check our email on the alloted deadline for suspense. So hold your breath!


Rules:

1. You email us at offers@castlemelody.com with the following subject:

For free logo design: Free logo request - your full name
For free banner design: Free banner request - your full name

2. Then, in the body of your message, you simply answer this question:

What is the name of Castlemelody Imagination Studio's mascot? (the frog).

3. Never mind the design details first. Just submit your request. We can talk that out after.

4. You are only allowed for one free design request. So make up your mind if it is a logo design or a banner design.

5. If you did not get any reply from us, that would mean you did not win. But, if you do get a response from us, for sure, you are very lucky!

For those who will not be able to make it, you are still invited to give our design services a try. We'll convince you! :)

Thanks for the opportunity to serve you. Good luck!

Hi!

Some of you may not have noticed it. We purposely did not post the name of our mascot in the site. Well, we did post it sometime ago. :)

So, you see it will be a challenge for you to find out the name. I can assure you that if you look around a little more, you will see it hidden somewhere. Be resourceful!

And by the way, you can submit any number of entries. We will just read it according to the time they come in. Just follow carefully the instructions, please. If you do not, then we will not be honoring your submission.

Thanks and good luck!

It may not be posted on the site now but luckly I have the magic time machine and was able to view the pages when they did contain the name. The things I use technology for... I should be solving world hunger :)

By the way, I really like this promotion. I can just imagine how many people are digging around your site :)


Thanks

With the help of Marty McFly, my time machine worked wonders for me as well :)

Hi again.

Some submissions might have wrong spelling. We are particular about it.

Hint: It is not the same as the title of a song if you think it is.

If you did submit with a spelling error, you have all the right to change it. Remember we can accept multiple entries. But, of course you will only have to request either a logo or a banner.

You still have chance to catch up!

Just can't wait.

Well, we have three (3) winners so far! One(1) free logo and two (2) free banners. But, we won't reveal the names yet. We will not mail out the confirmation until the promo ends.

Keep your entries coming!

One more hint: Explore the site and look at the files...

Hello!

There are still 4 slots available as of writing. Two (2) free banners and two (2) free logos.

If others are able to find the answer, there is no reason why you can't.

Have fun!

Guys,

Thanks for the submissions. Since our site seemed to have some problem a few hours back, we are extending this promo to 6 hours more until around 12:30 P.M. (+800 GMT) today. Our current time here is 6:20 A.M. (+800 GMT).

From the emails, we found out (as of writing) that there are still 3 more slots available: one(1) free logo and two(2) free banneers.

We will start sending emails by 12:30 P.M. (+800 GMT) today to confirm the winning entries. From there we will solicit ideas from you or ask you some questions to determine what you want with your designs.

Thank you very much for the time you've spent. Best of luck!

Well, the time has come and it is over...
But, wait!

There are two (2) more slots left!

We need one (1) more request for free logo and one (1) more request for free banner. Again, first email, first serve. Let's give it one(1) more hour and we will officially stop the contest even if we are short of request.

Go ahead and try. Who knows, there might be a tie.

And one last final hint: Try to navigate the site using the sidebar links. Take note of the image files that load. One of those files give the name! So, fire away!!!

Hello guys!

Too bad we have to stop it now. You know what? There is actually one(1) more slot for the free banner. So, although it has ended we can be that generous and still accept your free banner request. After all, it is Christmas!!!

Let's review the question: What is the name of Castlemelody Imagination Studio's mascot? (the frog)

Our hint was for you to dig around our site and concentrate on the filenames of images. It is there.

Like they all say, "It is never over until it's over."

We will post a final (hehe) announcement if the last slot on free banner request has been taken. It is really great running this promo.

Ok guys! This is it. We are now officially ending the promo.
How many requests did we get? We got several entries.
But, only 9 made it: five (5) for logos, four (4) for banners.
Congratulations to the winners!

We would like to express our thanks for your participation. We are really grateful!

If you are wondering what is the answer, the name of Castlemelody Imagination Studio's mascot is Frogprinz.
If you go to our Contact Us link, you will see an image of our mascot, right click on it and check the properties. The filename is frogprinzcontactus.gif. And, the one at the bottom is Ms. Fish.


We will be conducting future promos exclusive only for webhostingtalk forum members or visitors. Do watch out for it.

Till next time. Enjoy the holidays!!!

Hi!

No. We're not running another promo yet. I just want to let everyone know that we are working on the logo and banner designs of the guys who won their prizes.

Two winners (Franky Chung and John Loines -- guys, need your replies! hehe ) have not yet responded to the questions we sent before we can proceed with the design. The mails may have lost their way. :) Just contact us. We will be glad to send the questions again. Ok?

Some logo and banner designs are at their first attempt stage and waiting for comments and suggestions. The other logo and banner designs are on their way to finalization.

We will be featuring these in our portfolio as originally planned.

By the way, Dennis and Eric, check your mails... the first designs are up!

We will be posting another announcement if the logo and banner design portfolio page is already available at our site.

Again, thank you and enjoy the season!

:)
