What? Just because they aren't seen by millions of people doesn't mean that the organization that is making this tournament possible in the first place (the WBO) should not be mentioned on it. And no logos? Both the Beyblade logo and the CGS logo are on it.
Also, I'm not sure why they should want the graphic designer to maintain "100% creative control". As the client, CGS should be giving some type of direction, however vague, to the designer. You can't just tell them to do whatever they want, because then you run the risk of him or her coming to you with a finished product that is completely off target, like the current plaque. The current plaque not only fails to mention the WBO, it fails to mention the name of the event! And in addition to that, there is no real visual connection between what the concept of this tournament is and what has been presented on the plaque; it's just generic concept art with "1st Place Carolina Games Summit" written on it.
In any case, what's done is done ... there's no time to fix it now. I am happy that they'll at least be mentioning us (Howard, make sure our URL is mentioned specifically!) during the awards show.
