This contest, simply put, was rigged. I really dont want to have to say it, but it was.
I know some people out there are probably going to call me a poor looser so I am going to honestly speak my mind. The logo that won was very creative, visually intriguing and well deserved. The tagline hit the nail on the head, and the two combined, will forge an effective, attractive face to mobileread.
But one cannot deny that the contest was so poorly held. Fake members, who ironically joined at the last minute, voted for themselves, and put all other entires who were fair and square about this contest, at an unfair disadvantage. The contestants didn't get to choose which ones of their logos they wanted to display (if they had multiple entires), and if they were displayed at all, they were converted to black and white. This makes no sense, because the color logo would be the logo everyone sees on the header. Further, many entries were made smaller, giving other contestants a visual advantage.
I dont care what anyone says about me or this post, but I know that many will agree with me when I say that it was simply unfair that other contestants influenced the course of the contest.
To those who didnt sign up fake members, or family and friends, congratulations on your entry. There were many high quality, creative entries.
