Logo Contest #1: Final Results

jnshmoo · 01-21-2005, 09:05 AM

First, let me thank the community for such a great showing at the polls. 142 votes in 48 hours. Let me also send out a great big thank you to all of the “competitors” who sent in logo designs.

Now let’s get to the results:

The winner of the Favorite Logo for the Portland Timberjacks, winning by 5 votes and receiving 25.35% of the total, is Logo #11, submitted by Cuss. Congratulations Cuss!

The runner-up took 21.83% of the vote for a close second was Logo #3, submitted by BigD4VT.

3rd Place (14.79%) was logo #2, submitted by Le Grande Orange.

4th Place (9.15%) – Logo 14 – submitted by an Anonymous Member

5th Place (7.04%) – Logo 15 – FastLane

6th Place (6.34%) – Logo 1 – Cooleyvol*

7th Place (2.82%) – Logo 6 – Sandstorm3

8th Place (4-way tie with 2.11%)

Logo 4 – BlueTurf
Logo 9 – pepeda
Logo 10 – Peanut11
Logo 12 – LivnLegend

12th Place (2-way tie with 1.41%)

Logo 7 – NMLeague
Logo 13 – Peanut11

14th Place (2-way tie with 0.70%)

Logo 8 – NMLeague
Logo 5 – Mr.Opinion

*Cooleyvol noticed after the poll began that he had sent his logo with a black background, but had intended on sending it with a white background. That version is attached here and will be substituted in the compilation at his request.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the competition and the voting. This was a great concept and it’s wonderful to see the level of involvement that we are getting!

Here is Cooleyvol's updated logo. He also submitted the logo without the Portland name. I will upload that to the compilation as well.

jnshmoo · 01-21-2005, 09:15 AM

NMLeague had originally submitted 3 different logos. When the total reached 16, he graciously allowed me to drop the following logo from the competition in order to fit everything in one poll. Here is that third logo:

Congrats!

Cooleyvol · 01-21-2005, 09:39 AM

I have a copy of the white b/g logos that are skewed as the one above is after resizing if anyone is interested in them.

FWIW, I thought #3 was the best overall. Congrats to all, though.

FYI, today will be quite busy for me at work. We are preparing for our inventory next friday. I will work on getting everything uploaded to the websites over the weekend.

Wow, congrats Cuss!
Nice job Cooley. Here is my Forrest City logo I submitted awhile back...very close!

Congrats to y'all!

Cooleyvol · 01-21-2005, 10:10 AM

great job, Legend..............I never saw that submission.

FastLane · 01-21-2005, 10:15 AM

Congrats to all.

I think the designers represented the community very well and did an outstanding job of showing a wide array of styles and designs in their submissions. I'm very pleased to be a part of such a great group.

And major props to the forum for coming out in big numbers to look in on the contest and vote. I give you all a huge round of applause.

Now, we can all look forwards to contest #2, where I'm sure we may see more submissions and, I expect, a really wide variety of ideas given the concept.

Peace all.

bigD4VT · 01-21-2005, 10:40 AM

Congratulations to Cuss. I thought #11 was the best from the start. I was never happy with my logo (#3). I just sent it in thinking I could do better in one of the later contests. I'm shocked, but very flattered that it came in second out of all those great logos. Congrats to everyone who participated. I'm having a lot of fun with this and can't wait to see the next round.

ukhotstove · 01-21-2005, 11:18 AM

Congrats to everyone, I don't think there were any losers as no doubt all the logos submitted will be used in leagues in the future have to say glad Cuss won and LGO was in the top 3 as I'm a bit biased as they worked on my Spring Valley Rattlers logo, but props to everyone great job look forward to the next contest and future contests.

Cuss · 01-21-2005, 12:18 PM

You guys are too kind, I thank everyone who voted for me and I feel very lucky to have pulled this one out because there were certainly many others, that in my eyes were much better than my attempt. I can tell the next round is going to be even tighter than the first. Thanks to jnshmoo, EC, LL and others for setting this up, I personally had a lot of fun anticipating the votes, not to mention the designing process etc. Thanks guys, I hope to be in the next round too, so hopefully I will find some time.

Any chance we (or at least I) can see the full size version?
