icons for your Solutions
Many of you asked us about the BootB system of flagging your Solutions using different icons.

So… here you are! Sorry, for not explaining it before.
Do read this post carefully and do not hesitate to ask questions!
1st icon (the only one that you will see for sure)
Once you’ve published your Solution, both the Brand and you can see it. It appears like this:

The first line shows the number of your Solution (in this example “#1″ means that it was the 1st one posted). The second line shows the title of your Solution (in this example - “Welcome!”). The third line shows the date (day.month.year) and time when you posted your Solution.
Please note that the Brand doesn’t know if the Solution comes from an agency from New York or from a freelancer in New Delhi. In the BootB Pitches only talent counts (and the fame counts nothing :)
2nd, 3rd and 4th icons
In order to provide you a quick feedback about your Solutions and to help Brands to find the best creativity on the planet, BootB has designed the “keep-trash-ban” system. We strongly recommend all Brands to use it, but the Brand may skip this step and select directly the winner (not good, but freedom is a value in the BootB Republic :)
How does the “keep-trash-ban” system work?
If the Brand considers your Solution as a good one and wants to keep it for the final choice, the Brand will use the “keep” button. In this case, your Solution will look the following way flagged with the “thumbs up” icon:

In case the Brand thinks that your Solution won’t work for sure (i.e. because it doesn’t fit the Brief, or it’s not completed, or just because the Brand doesn’t like it) the “trash” button will be used. The Brand will not have your Solution in the list anymore and you will see the “thumbs down” icon next to it:

There is one more option for the Brand just in case (very unlikely, we hope) the Solution is rude or offensive (there is no moderation in the BootB Republic). The Brand can choose to “ban” its author. This action will block any new Solutions from this particular Creator. The icon that will appear next to such Solution will look like this:

If the Deadline of the Pitch has already come and there is still no icon on your Solution - don’t worry! It means that the Brand decided not to use the “keep-trash-ban” system but to look through all submitted Solutions and then to announce the Winner.
5th icon
In case your Solution is chosen by the Brand as the Winning one you will see this magenta icon, showing your avatar and your nickname. Exactly like this:

That’s the sign that you are the winner of a worldwide pitch. That’s the only icon we wish you to see! :)

Era intuitivo ma ora si ha la certezza di come procede la selezione. Ottimo lavoro. |

It means that your Solution is in the short-list of good ones. The Brand can decide to buy additional idea (on top of the Winning one) and in this case they will choose among “kept” Solutions. |

Sarebbe più consono giudicare un lavoro prima della dichiarazione del vincitore e non dopo. |

to AlvinoDesign: But what is the reason for Brand to start a Pitch on BootB if he is not going to go through all possible Solutions received? |

Ciao Asti, Se il Brand non ha utilizato ancora il sistema di valutazione Keep/Trash/Ban e normale non avere Thumbs up or Thumbs down accanto alla tua Soluzione. |
