haha. I’d rather have a shirt with Sam on it than Krystal Meyers, especially if the caption was “Jus’ ‘avin a spot o’ fun.”

Dude, Sam! You’re onto something. If it were a pic of you, the number of votes would have been through the roof. I’m thinking you could have hit the 30’s!

INCONCEIVABLE!

come on, Levi. Me and New Zealand, we’re such household names, we’d get the votes no matter which logo was up!

Looky, I got 3 or 4 more votes. I can’t keep track!

Not all the people would have the combined score, after all just because someone likes your one logo first, it doesn’t mean they’ll like your other logo second. Unless they’re just different colors, in which case, you’re probably right.

By: John Wayne

John Wayne — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:52:19 +0000

High five for awesomeness!

It’s too bad the votes got all spit up. That would put you in third… for now.

john we’re so awesome right now…

i have 21.
burrrrrrn haha.

By: John Wayne

John Wayne — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:24:28 +0000

I technically have 20 votes since I would have only showcased one concept and one version of the rough logo if I had known they were all going up. Not that 20 votes gets me anywhere, but it soothes the ego, haha.

By: Brandon

Brandon — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:10:46 +0000

Nothing is rigged. That is why I have the final say over the winning three designs. I did that on purpose in case one person decided to vote like a bunch of times. This is a hard decision. I personally like several of John Holcomb’s designs, they’d work well on a Tshirt but I have to go with the top 3 that are winning. There is one that is my favorite right now but you’ll have to wait till Sunday before I announce it.

By: Nate

Nate — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:16:25 +0000

I like Nathaniel’s best as well. I hope this wasn’t rigged. haha.

By: Jay

Jay — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:32:39 +0000

PS - I like Nathaniel’s logo(s) the best.

PPS - I was on vacation Friday - Monday night and had little internet activity, so there was no vote spamming orchestrated (if anyone had suspicions).

PPPS - I did add that blurb you see in the Buzzgrinder pingback in comment #19, but that was well after the fact.

A lot of cool ones. John’s first, Nodes’s first, Sam’s first, and Jay’s were all very well done…I wound up going with John’s.

By: John Wayne

John Wayne — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:51:13 +0000

hey _pole, thanks for the breakdown. You’re correct for them most part. I won’t share my opinion out here as well, especially in regards to the much loved “Jay DeNitto” logo.

I did my own personal breakdown in the forums and got ripped by Tyler H. You were even more critical than I was, haha.

By: Brandon

Brandon — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 05:15:39 +0000

There really is no end date for the contest. It’s basically when the votes start to taper off that I’ll decide on the final 3. Maybe a week?

By: nodes

nodes — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 00:54:17 +0000

i did my logos in black and white so people would choose the logo instead of the color scheme. i’m not sure of the rules, but i am pretty sure it’s not a level field with plain examples versus finished products. this is how brandon had me make concepts before.

also, there should have been names and associations with whose these were. it’s hard enough to pick one, especially when it’s said who did what.

also, there is no contest finish date (or i am just tired and i don’t see it.)

hey nate, i was wondering if you could give me some pyrotechnics advice because…BURN!

Hey man, I was just wondering if you could give me an opinion on how you feel about the logos. Thanks…

By: _pole

Now, this is interesting!

I like the “rough” ones by John Holcomb (1-3) because they are indie in a friendly way… maybe a bit too much pop appeal, but okay for me.
4&5 are okay, the usual playing around with typo, nothing spectacular.

The ones by Isaac Ohman… sorry, I don`t like them. I am also generally against “IVM” as the main logo, it should be the full title, so that people know what it’s about when they see it.

Michael Clayton: I like the concept (even more the fact that there is one!). A bit sleek, but who says indie can’t be sleek these days. Works for me! I voted for tis one.

Jay DiNittos logo (the one with the candle) is good. Not my personal taste, but it IS goood.

Sam Coates: Nice concept, again. Implementation could have been better and more interesting.

Cory Bergman: A mixture of boring and awkward.

Denton Neal: The first one is not readable and the second simply uses the font “bleeding cowboys”, but not very skillfully. The illusion of caligraphy is destroyed be tilting the words.

Levi G: Why the huge emphasis on “vision”? I don’t like the eye. Looks retro in a bad way, but that could be just me.

Nathanial: Again, I would prefere a logo without the initials, but I like the style here.

Brad Naeher: Playing around with typo without a concept doesn’t make a good logo…

OOOH! It’s a lion and a lamb! It seriously looked like poodles to me. I didn’t see the lion roaring; I thought it was the snout.

Not really a fan of the candle one for some reason, though they all are really well done.

dang, these are some pretty sweet logos.
tough choice.

i tip my hat to all who submitted. awesome work.

lion+lamb+candle=SCHWEET

Matt U — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:04:47 +0000

Ahhh!!! What to choose! I like Jay’s, and Brad’s, and the Lion/Lamb thing is pretty sweet too. Some good stuff there. You know, the Lion/Lamb behind Jay’s candle woulda been sweet…

By: Brandon

Brandon — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:03:53 +0000

Yeah I definitely had some good entries. Please help us spread the word about this poll to all of your friends and buddies. We need a HUGE amount of votes in this thing.

By: TylerM

TylerM — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 15:54:01 +0000

The one with the lion and lamb is awesome. It’s going to be identified by Christians and have people asking about it if you wear it on a shirt.

either way, there are some sweet logos on there
