The background rule: no backgrounds allowed unless requested by the contestholder What I can NOT use on my designs - Powered by DesignContest.com
If the background color is part of the design then the design is allowed. How is it determined part of the design......does the design need the background to be a complete design, if the CH were to pick the design then the completed design would have to have the background, You can tell if the background is part of the design or just there to help the design look better or stand out a bit

Regarding the "You are now allowed to have a total of 7 design entries per contest plus any revisions the contest holder asks for." portion, if I have uploaded a total of 7 designs and then the CH requests a change does he have control over allowing that 8th post or do I have to submit a request of some sort?

Each time the contestholder marks one of your entries "I want to see a revision" you will receive +1 entry for that contest, in addition to your original 7 entries to that contest. If the CH marks the entry "wrong direction" then no additional entries. You do not need to ask for extra entries and should not ask in the contest comment area. If the Ch is asking for revised entries but has not marked the entries then send us a not either through the help ticket or feedback option or even come to live chat if we are online.

you will never run out of entries if the ch marks your entry I want to see a revision. As far as the Honeyville we lifted the limit for a specific reason. I'm not sure what you are complaining about, you complain because there are limits then we have a contest with no limits and you complain?
We will not stop the 7 entry limit. Yes the ch wants to see entries but they want to see quality entries not a bunch of entries that are not of quality.
we will keep our rule of one design/one version in an entry, we will keep the rule of no backgrounds, we will keep our rule of NO mockups in logo contests. If the contest holder requests this then we make an exception for that contest
When the contestholder starts a contest they have the option to have the designers use color backgrounds. If the ch wants the design on a mockup , then they will say that in the brief or general comment to all in the contest. Logo contests are just that logo contests, no showing your design on a mockuped business card.
Follow the rules and we will all get along just fine : )

Unfortunately, many people here does really not know what is a Logo and its purposes.
All the backgrounds and the mockups should be not allowed, unless the Contest Holder demands specifically for it.

Why don't you go to "Chat with Mods" and report the issue, ask for their thoughts.
The only conceptually difference between those 2 designs is a tree in #44... but, there are 4 same elements (font, text positioning, heart and element with "ME" between words, which could be inspiring for making a tree). You should discuss that with Mods & Admins, they will decide whether is copy or not.

No backgrounds, One design per entry, 7 upload limit (unless the Ch Clicks "I want to see a revision")
And it's fine, no problem mods... This is the rule I begun with....it must work to every designer:)
