The Marmite ‘Spread the Love’ contest was one of our most successful contests to date. We had designers from all over the world creating some seriously mind-blowing work…no doubt fuelled by their own passion for Marmite. Not only did we receive a massive amount of entries, but the vast majority were of a high design standard too. We were really happy to see submissions of this calibre. The great news that we received, after choosing our three winners, was the fact that Marmite loved the designs so much that they decided they wanted to procure even more!
We are happy to announce that Marmite has decided to acquire Vcalahan’s Lovers submission, as well as GreboRocboy’s Marmite Love. Both of these stunning designs have adhered closely to the brief and were executed with marvellous style. Really impressive work, well done! You may have already noticed, but Vcalahan is also our Grand Prize winner for this contest. He has done very well for himself in ‘Spread the Love’ - his designs fit the brands vibe to perfection.
Springleap loves it when our designers get more than they bargained for! Thank you Marmite! |

ROARRRRR KERSMASH ZAPPPPP!!!! Congratulations go out to our January 2 ‘Open Theme’ winner, Carbine.
His Role Playing submission made its mark early on. Right from the start it received a mountain of praise and ‘5 votes’ from the community. We knew it was going to be a serious contender for the win! The design itself is extremely nostalgic! Carbine uses his amazing design skills to instantly transport us back to our youth! Do you remember the days when our imaginations were free to create without the restraint of societies oppressive ‘grown up boringness’? Well, this design throws off those shackles and leaves us free to dream as big and as expressively as we possibly can. Role Playing has it all – It is ridiculously intricate, makes efficient use of color, has perfect placement and most importantly is based on a rock solid concept that can be understood across all cultures.
We cannot wait for Role Playing to hit the printing floor, it is going to look so hot…just you wait. Well done Carbine, the team is literally on the edge of their seats in anticipation of your next submission. Enjoy! |

DESIGN CONTEST: 'Spread the Marmite Love' - WIN US$1950 shoutOut on 17/11/11 by DuncanBoxie in wordUp |

It’s time to Spread the Marmite Love! Marmite is one of those South African Favourites that has been pleasing tastebuds for over 100 years. There are practically millions of Marmite lovers out there who couldn’t go a single day without this delectable dark bread spread of savoury goodness. How much do you love YOUR Marmite? What would you do for your daily measure of exceptional taste? Would you beg, trade in your car, or perhaps…even your significant other? Springleap and Marmite would like to know just how unconditional your love is for this yummy stuff… and even better, we’d like you to illustrate your love through great designs! Things have not really changed for Marmite since it first waltzed into our hearts and wooed our taste buds back in 1902. Marmite originally came in a small earthenware pot, similar to the French casserole dish called a 'Marmite', (pronounced MAR-MEET). Today you can still see the original “MAR-MEET” dish on the front panel of the label. The iconic shape of the pot, as well as the branding has remained pretty much untouched since. An icon from all those years ago. Amazing!
Marmite to this day is also made the same way as all those years ago – only using the finest brewers yeast (beer, really) and a “secret process”. Its unique taste gives an unmistakably rich tangy flavour that makes you drool for more and has the ability to convert even the most snobbish of tastes into true Marmite lovers! British travellers were known to take Marmite along to eat on their travels to exotic destinations, as they believed it warded off Malaria-causing mosquitoes. The Allied Troops were issued rations of Marmite during World War 1 to keep them soldiering on. If they hadn’t, who knows who could have won the war. We shudder at the thought and reach for our Marmite instantly!
Your mission: Use your powerful design skills to create a Marmite inspired design that works perfectly for Valentine’s Day. We want to see which designers can best illustrate their intense passion and undying love for Marmite in the most effective, most inspiring and heartwarming way. Please keep it fun and quirky. No emo stuff allowed.
Show us - Just how big a Marmite fan are you REALLY?
THE BRIEF: The winning designs to be sourced from this contest will be printed & sold on promotional products for Valentines Day 2012.
You need to show your passion for Marmite! Not just to eat, but in any fun way you can imagine. The iconic nature of the brand has inspired designs from across the world! Go do some research online & see just how crazy people have been! For example: I love my wife Marmite, Stay with the one you love, I only dance with my Marmite, My-mate, Find your right mate, Don’t like sweet tea? Have Marmite in it instead? Absolutely anything that shows just how much you love Marmite. Please keep your themes light and humorous. We don’t want anything dark, sad, emo or lonely! Your designs must make people smile, give them tummy aches from laughing too much, or feel like they're floating in 7th Heaven, so make it quirky, fun and absolutely lovable. Focus on how you feel with Marmite in your life, not without it! The key here is to NOT to be (too) serious.
CONTEST DO’s & DONT's: 1. Designs must include at least 1 of the Marmite brand elements – logo, colours, fonts, brand theme. The design must clearly identify with Marmite and be recognisable as such. 2. Designers can use ANY colour from the Springleap.com t-shirt submission kit 3. The Marmite corporate colours are yellow, red, white, green and black. However, designers are welcome to experiment and come up with their own interpretations, as long as the design includes some or other element of the Marmite brand to make it clearly identifyable.

King of Comments, Queen of Quotes - WINNERS shoutOut on 5/4/11 by DuncanBoxie in wordUp | 1 week, 1 day ago by Valesidecc | 7

………………………..
……………………….. Long live the Queen :) Congratulations to our very first winner for 2012, Xiamist. Wow, this is our third Queen of Quotes in a row. The girls are really showing the guys how it’s done. Nice one ladies!
Xiamist (aka: Galaxie Maria) is one of those designers that we really appreciate around these parts. She has created fantastic community interaction by coming up with a clever infographic on how you can vote for ‘her’ design. Her infographic is extremely helpful to our community, but at the same time it was also a rather clever way of racking up some votes for her ‘The Ultimate Nommage’ submission to our Marmite contest. Good thinking! You can take a look at her infographic by checking out our original blog posting. It will educate and make you laugh all at the same time. Marketing your own design is never as easy as it seems, but this was a truly fantastic way of getting herself some valuable design exposure. Once again, well done, we hope that the community sees this effort and emulates your creativity. Bravo! ……………………….. DECEMBER 2011 WINNER – CARIANNE ……………………….. We bow before thee!!!
The Springleap.com team sends out a hearty congratulations to our latest Queen of Quotes winner, Carianne Klein Katryn.
After a hard year for most designers it was great to see her uplifting comments coming through in December’s contests. We appreciated it, so you can just imagine how thankful our designers were to receive such a ‘gushing of goodness’.
Sometimes she will leave short to-the-point messages showing her love for a design, other times she will leave comments that help designers to improve their work, without being too harsh. Not only has this uber friendly member commented like crazy on Springleap, but also very prolifically on our ever growing Facebook page.
We are very happy to crown this latest winner! ……………………….. NOVEMBER 2011 WINNER – IZZICANE ……………………….. Hail to the QUEEN….again!
We are very happy to announce our very first queen (or king for that matter) to win this coveted compo for the second time. It’s not just about the genuine comments that she makes on designs either. Elzaan takes it upon herself to speak about Springleap absolutely everywhere she goes. Yep, she is like a one-woman Springleap marketing team. You ROCK!!!
Check out her picture on the left, Elzaan even got involved in our Movember awareness campaign.
Congratulations Elzaan, we are very happy to once again give you a seat on this hallowed throne! If you would like to read more about Elzaan, please scroll down a bit further and read her original Queen of Quotes write-up. Just for the information of the other members: Springleapers can be Queen/King more than one, as long as there is a 3 month period between wins and that he/she cannot win more than twice in any given year. Elzaan is a Springleaper who is adding serious value to our platform. She doesn’t hover silently in the background and really gets conversations going between voters and designers. Well done once again, you well and truly deserve it!!! ……………………….. OCTOBER 2011 WINNER – WILBUR LIKE SMITH ……………………….. Monsoon, Assegai, River God?…..nope wrong kinda Wilbur! All hail our October King of Comments, Wilbur Like Smith! We are happy to announce a winner that really impressed us with his positive nature. Considering that he made lots of comments of our Positive Heroes competition entries we feel that he is definitely the right choice.
Wilbur Like Smith is one of those guys who gets involved and helps build the confidence of designers! Just have a lookie at his comments and you will begin to see what we look for in a King:
“This is also a great pattern concept. Wanted to say that the logo could have been one of the four blocks, but I like the off-balance composition, nice work” “I really like the image, but it's a bit comical for the topic :)”
You see what I mean? He is helpful and very good-natured in how he gets his opinion across. This is what our King had to say when he received the crown: This is so orsm!!1! That's why I love Springleap!! You guys rock, apart from not just having great designs, fantastic print work, Springleap has gone and created a sense of community as well. Winning this reminded me of something I read the other day, the words are by Feenix (designer of the Goodjoe logo) - "Everyday throughout the nation, ordinary people are doing small things, acts of kindness that make a huge difference in the lives of others and continue to inspire and provide hope to so many." To all the designers, keep up the good work and good luck. Springleap's all about the designs and real people. (I still have to submit my first design) Thanks again to Wilbur Like Smith. It was tremendous to see your comments coming through and we know we will see more and more of you in the future.
We appreciate all your hard work. ……………………….. SEPTEMBER 2011 WINNER – UNCLEHANI ……………………….. NICE ONE! Time to crown our King of Comments for September! Springleap sends out a big highfive to UncleHani for all of his contributions to the competition this month. It is great to see a Leaper who takes the time to get involved and give some feedback for our design submissions.
One of the best things about UncleHani is the fact that he is very to the point! In many cases this is the most effective way to help designers out. They don’t want to hear false congratulatory nonsense, they want somebody to call a spade-a-spade and help them grow. I liked these comments below most. The reason being he is so friendly and supportive of the designers work in both cases:
“Loveliest design, I like the idea of the baby, attached to the plus sign, big ups!”
He also made me laugh when he made a typo on one of his comments and then quickly ‘rectified’ his mistake: Yup don’t wanna be giving the designers the wrong idea there, hehehe. This is what UncleHani had to say about why he loves Springleap: I love Springleap because it allows you to express yourself in a artistic manner, it keeps you out of trouble like drugs, crime etc. and I am thankful
to God for the minds that started the Springleap campaign.
UncleHani has sent through so many great designs to our competition. It has been really amazing watching his style develop over the past few months. His latest submission Sesame Street meets Twilight was a really fun design, which had us all in stitches here at the HQ. Thanks again UncleHani…we know we will see you around! ……………………….. AUGUST 2011 WINNER – EFFIN’SWEET ……………………….. WINNER WINNER WINNER! SUPER CONGRATS go out to Effin’Sweet for winning our King of Comments competition for August . What we love about Effin’Sweet is that he is not at all condescending when he makes his comments about designs. He is helpful and gives suggestions for placement, but is never cocky or elitist when he does so.
It’s cool that he is always mega chilled and friendly!
Here are a few recent comments from Effin’Sweet which I felt illustrated his style of commenting: 1. “I quite like this one...out of the three I like the red version best, but I also like the red and blue version, I think that the randomness of colour becomes a bit busy, maybe try doing the Rev counter Red, speedo white and fuel gauge side blue.” 2. “Haha...cool glasses. If you break up some of the solid black it could look really good.” 3. “Nicely Done! I dunno why but I’m feeling like a slogan of sorts could have gone well at the bottom of the illustration.” You see what I mean? Zero aggression or negativity....just useful and happy comments. Effin’Sweet most recently collaborated with none other than local South African design guru, CHUCKY, to put together one of the most memorable and unique designs from the LEXUS ‘CT 200h’ competition. There were so many people at the Springleap HQ who felt that this one was a winner. To find out more about Effin'Sweet why not check him out on his Twitter page.
Thanks to Effin’Sweet for all the positive energy, we LOVE IT!!! ……………………….. JULY 2011 WINNER – MATSANNI ……………………….. Weeeee have a WINNER! Well done to Sannidya (AKA: Matsanni ) for scooping our King of Comments prize for July . We are always impressed with the awesome contributions this Springleaper adds to the website. Not only does he always have a positive word to say about a design, but he is also very helpful with insights that can help designers improve their work. We often talk about the “balance” of the ‘perfect critique’ and how if you are too negative you could scare off designers , or if you are too positive, the designer never learns from their mistakes.
Matsanni has his comments down to a fine art and always seems to leave the designers informed and confident about what they produce. Take these examples of his comments below for instance, if I was the designer I would be so amped about my design: 1. “BADASS character , I love the firm line, nice coloring and the distressed effect. I can’t imagine how cool I am when I wear this tee on the summer and I will wear the sunglasses, I don’t wanna have too much eyes LOL well done”
2. “Heya mr.Barmalisi See what I mean? He is open and friendly , makes you feel good about your design, but also shares insights in a controlled manner. Many of you will already know Matsanni from his amazing winning design No place for Hubris! Which blew away the competition in the April 1 OPEN THEME compo. So, not just a talented designer , but a helpful member of our community too! You are a legend Matsanni, thanks for your contributions . You are most certainly the deserving winner of our King of Comments for July HIGH FIVE ……………………….. JUNE 2011 WINNER – BLEET ……………………….. Once again it is time to crown our monthly King of Comments . Congratulations go out to Warren (AKA: Bleet) for his contributions and genuine feedback! The designers he has helped will no doubt grow from his advice and comments.
What we like most about Bleet’s comments is the fact that they are critical without coming across as harsh …which is paramount to helping improve designers, without crushing their spirits altogether!
Bleet uses a bit of humour to get his message across, for example he said, “Reminds me of snakes and ladders, would have been cool if u connected the 2. Snakes and ladders with the dude, ok that concept is free, next one you will have to pay ;) “, haha.
Bleet is already earning himself huge praise from the Springleap community and his skills seem to be growing at an exponential rate. When you consider how good he is it is abundantly clear that he will very soon have his first Springleap victory under his belt.
It’s one of those ‘It’s not if he will win, but WHEN’ kind of a situations. Thanks again for the great comments Bleet, enjoy your prize ;) ……………………….. MAY 2011 WINNER – IZZICANE ……………………….. May has been another amazing month here at Springleap, both of our Open Theme winners were absolutely brilliant and we announced the winner of the Stepdog competition.
We have had an equally impressive amount of informative feedback and comments from the community.
The great news is that we have our very first Queen of Comments. What I really like about our South African winner is that she may not be a designer, but she is passionate about good design. Izzicane says, “I’m not a designer or arty person but I love creativity and a good shirt :)!”
Not only did Izzicane get involved with most of the submissions up for vote, but she also tweeted on just about every design too. Izzicane had loads of insightful comments, but this is my favorite: “Great design Hanno, the layer affect really works well. I feel that the design or logo just needs a bit more colour though as it has a lot of white open space, which could be a bit distracting. Maybe if you put some more shading into the moon or dirty the white up a bit? Maybe consider enlarging the logo a bit as well to give it a bit more attention and like Maike said maybe place it closer to the moon. I love the hand drawn feel and I think you nailed the eerie and sombre feel you where going for, over a great piece of art.”
I like that she compliments the design, gives constructive criticism , but at the same time isn’t patronizing . Thanks again to Elzaan and well done! Find out more about the King of Comments, Queen of Quotes competitions. ……………………….. APRIL 2011 WINNER – SIMON ……………………….. Greetings one and all.
First off, thanks to the community for their awesome feedback with the April competitions.
It is usually a very difficult, or at least a close race, when it comes to making our choice. Huge congrats and thanks go out to Simon for his comments which undoubtedly helped raise our designers A-game . Here is one of his comments that I really enjoyed: Hey, you know what, I am a GUY and I love the pink, so bleh! This gives me the feeling of a vintage cake shop, I don’t know why, but I like cake so hey, what the hell! This is one of those shirts that I reckon would be quite “fashionable” when worn with some nice dark faded jeans. It has a ‘vintageness’ to it, and that seems fairly popular these days. I think the way you’ve used the typography as the “chair” is a clever touch. Because she is sitting down, one would naturally be drawn to the “chair”, in this case your words. Looking at your design preview on white, I think the design has been placed too large. Another thought, I could see this working without the background pink and it’s containing border, so if the girl just sat on the words to the left or right of the bottom area of the shirt I reckon that could work too? Agree?
For those of you who have been Springleapers for a long time , you will definitely recognise this talented designer’s work. Perhaps one of the greatest ‘designers designs’ ever to grace Springleap, came from this man. How long is a piece of String? , feature on the right hand side , is another simple yet effective design that helped raise Springleaps cred back in the day. Thanks again to Simon for being a true all-around Springleaper , who adds value to our platform and community. Enjoy your prize ;) ……………………….. MARCH 2011 WINNER – ACME ……………………….. Hi there friends . It’s time to announce our King of Comments winner for MARCH 2011! It has been really fantastic to see so many people getting involved and sending through positive feedback to our designers. We would like to send a big THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to our winner acme ! This designer had plenty of helpful hints for our community of designers, whilst still being a nice guy ;) Take a look at two of his comments below. This is just the sort of thing we are looking for from the King of Comments, Queen of Quotes winner: “I think the concentric circles make it a bit stiff overall, specifically the outer ones . It could loosen a bit then it would be really great. The fist and electric shocks are the most powerful elements of this design so that should be the focus” “That unicorn is EPIC! Would have loved to see more of the unicorn and clouds without the geometric elements though”
Acme is already very well known on Springleap!
You will surely know his hilarious Mule Bear and beach-arific Big Wave Challenge submissions.
Most recently acme’s Happy Dolphin design made a huge impression on our March 1 OPEN THEME.
Thanks again acme, we hope you enjoy your prizes .
So, who will be our King of Comments, Queen of Quotes winner for April? SL team. ………………………..

Our latest Queen of Quotes winner is just such a person. She has gotten seriously involved in the commenting process and always brings an uplifting word for our hardworking designers.
