I am running a contest for a new Singularity Weblog logo.

Please help me pick the winner.

It is easy — just look at the proposed designs by clicking here.

Then come and post a comment after the post or email me your favorite design number and why in your opinion it deserves to win.

Thank you for your help.

Let us make Singularity Weblog better.

Logo Design Contest Update: We’ve got a winner!!!

Thank you all for your help and your input in choosing a new logo for Singularity Weblog.

There were at least 5 different design concepts that each could have won.

I had a few comments and even more emails about what your favorite design is. In the end it was a very tight race between two designs and, even though my own personal favorite design lost, I have no regrets because in all fairness I had to admit that the winner was the only one able to fulfill all the following requirements:

Simple.

Unique.

Easy to remember.

Easy to scale down to favicon and up to poster size.

Prints well in all colors.

Easy to mold and recreate in 3D physical shape.

Consistent with the Singularity Symposium branding.

I hope you like it!…

Which one was your personal favorite?
Socrates

Well, my favorite was 241...
Dimitar

My vote goes for #241. I like the dynamics in the logo as well as the fact that there is a lot of creativity in the font. It is aesthetically pleasing as well.
I like it the best by far.
Socrates

I agree entirely with your take D. It is a popular choice. In fact, it is the very close second place...
Odnamra

218 is my favorite. I think you need to replace your slogan too. "Will technology replace biology?" just doesn't have any ring to it.
Socrates

Thank you for your input, I agree with you that the tag line is not the best. That is why in the previous singularity survey, which is still running at http://bit.ly/bZ58uO, the first question that I asked my readers is about the best tag line. The problem is that unfortunately so far we haven't come up with a better one... Any suggestions?
Tony

241 - It's got ample contrast, the text components are correctly proportionate to their importance, and the black hole sort of resemble ninja star - major cool points!

If I had to choose an alternate, it'd be 224.
Stef

I like #218 :)
Cooper

I am going to say 229... It's clean, simple, yet very convincing... But having not the knowledge of what Bio Chemistry to Bio Design to Bio Sphere is... I am just going to tell you to do what ever Julie says... After all, she is a very smart girl. Go get em' Rock Star!

224 is my fav too.
Julie

Such a tough decision - there are so many great designs! After careful consideration, my vote is #224.
Socrates

Very tough decision indeed Julie. That is why I am asking for help. ;-) Thanks.
