Hi, Jonathan- Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I clarified the rules a bit on the site.
I don't think we're going to set up a gallery just yet, for 2 reasons. 1) We want the entries to be original, so we don't want people to derive their logos from ones already submitted. That wouldn't be fair to the early entrants. 2) The contest is being judged by the sponsors, not by the public, in order to make sure that it goes smoothly and fairly. It would be too hard to set up a secure voting mechanism that could not be abused by human or robot multivotes. Regards- Doug Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: | | Doug, | | that's a great initiative, however do you need a gallery link? | perhaps an entrants vote? | http://open.bbc.co.uk/reboot/gallery/ gives a great feel for | what the | BBC managed to generate for similar prizes. | all entries were moderated before being published. | | also you state when the competition ends, but not when the final | decision will be made, this is vitally important, as drift has been | known to occur, in the past. | | best wishes | | Jonathan Chetwynd | | | | On 30 May 2006, at 15:47, Doug Schepers wrote: | | Hi, Folks- | | We are pleased to announce the launch of an SVG Logo contest! | Visit the | official site for more details on the rules: | http://www.svglogo.com | | Several companies who see the power of SVG have banded together to | hold a | contest for an SVG logo.
