First of all, I would like to thank everyone that submitted logos for the competition. I received over 40 entries and they were all brilliant. I am incredibly impressed with the artistic and creative talent that we have on the site! I have now spent the day going through the entries and breaking it down to the 12 most suitable. In making my initial decision, I have tried to consider all of the media that the logo may appear on – web, print, merchandise, and advertising.
What happens now? I would like you all to look at all of the logos (click for a larger view) and tell me in the comments which one you think should become our official logo and winner of this competition. I have not put them in any specific order – the numbering is simply to make it easier to refer to your favorites in the comments.

I like number one! Number four is a close runner-up for me, it’s cute!
1, 6 and 7 are the best.
Number 1 I’d say overall…
I I like 7
If I had to choose, it would be between #1 and #7.
I really like 3, 5, 7 and 11
I like 7, but I’m biased
wow – diverse answers!
i’d say 5 or 6
I forgot to mention – I will be making the final decision – I just want you all to help me along a bit
I like 1, 2, 6 and 10…
Probably 6 the best.
#1, #6 and #10 are my favoruites, just beacuse they are simple yet direct. I’d say #10 if I were pressed.
All excellent though.
1,2 and 7 are the best with 7 being my favourite
1-Very good
2-Looks like a pharmacy logo
3-too complicated
4-too silly
5-looks like a dodge car
6-too 80′s
7-too geeky
8-girlly
9-not bad
10-looks like a research lab
11-looks like a bank
12-looks like an isp
I like number 1 the most
# 1 is my favourite….
I like 1 and 7 most of the others seem either too formal and businessy or too silly for the website.
I really dislike 2, 9, 10, and 12.
#1, #4, #7 – In that order are my favorites!
number one..absolutely
i like one the best, becuase its the only one with the adress on it
and number 5 is good too, really new-agey
i like nos. 1
#7
#1 is great. I love the simplicity, the spacing, everything about it.
Number one.
#1 is the cleanest, but it does look similar to the Verizon logo that is peeking over its shoulder. It’s between #1 or #2 IMO.
NUMBER 1 …7 AND 4 ARE MY TOP PICS.
I like number 1 the best
Oh jeez, 4 and 8 for sure.
Yeah #1 is the best. It matches well with the color scheme of the site. Looks clean and sharp. It also has a level of professionalism that goes well with the quality of work that goes into the lists themselves. Kudos
#1 & #7 for me…I can’t decide! #1 seems like it would fit better but #7 looks sooo good!!
1, 2 or 7 for me.
Remember everyone: this needs to stand out on a cup – on a tee-shirt – and as the logo at the top left of every page on this site.
Number 1 — all the way
#1 and #7, #7 would be cooler if those objects/icons were somehow related to the discussions like maybe crosses, books, ect…
#1 or #4.
#4 is silly, but i still like it.
I like #1 as well.
Yup. ABSOLUTELY either No. 1 or No. 7.
The geek in me loves number 7. But number 1 probably has the most general appeal.
1. It’s ok, but it’s too ‘safe.’ It looks great, but it’s not memorable; at all.
2. Interesting, but I think the colors are wrong. There’s potential, but it needs some tweaking.
3. Is this a Boards of Canada album cover? I love this, but I’m not sure it’s a good logo/website identity.
4. Drop the creepy smiley face and we’ll talk.
5. The last time I checked this wasn’t a flash-games website.
6. The last time I checked this wasn’t a sporting goods store.
7. This one is growing on me. I’m pretty impressed with it. Definitely original. It’s got a paleo-futuresque vibe to it. I think it fits with the personality of the site.
8. No. This is wrong.
9. The last time I checked, this isn’t a 1980′s bank.
10. I’m not sure if it fits with the site, but this is well done. It could work.
11. The last time I checked, this wasn’t a university book store.
12. The last time I… Ok that’s getting old. I look at this and I think long distance calling plan. I’m just saying.
Number 1 is the best. Has the website and title in a cool, simple design.
I’m jumping aboard the #1 train. It’s a great idea in an original and effective presentation. It was the only one out of the bunch that jumped out as something I could potentially see everywhere.
Kudos to its creator. *applause*
3, and 7, with 7 being my favorite by a lot.
I liked mine the best, but it’s not on here
But I would definitely go with either 10 or 7
#1 is good but it looks too much like some kind of business, like something you’d see outside of a doctor’s office. #2 is arbitrary and boring, same goes for #3. #4 is once again too arbitrary, why the smiley face… what is the significance of it and how does it represent the List Universe? #5 is good because of it’s unified design; but I don’t really like the texture the artist used. #6 prides itself on the vibrant orange color which I don’t really like, and it also seems a TAD bit too simple… #8 is once again very arbitrary and I don’t really understand it, #9 is too plain and looks, once again like something that would appear at a doctor’s office, 11 is alright but the shape on the left seems undeveloped, and 12… well, what is the purpose of “123″?
7 is interesting, it is different, the letters have unity and incorporate many of the characteristics of a good 2D design: size changes, direction changes, varied shapes and lines etc.
It is a fine one indeed.
10 is a close second.
Number 7 is my favorite but I definitely think #1 is more practical
Several of these look like bank logos. Lame.
7 and 8 are the best IMO, I don’t like 6 cuz it looks like virginia tech or something. Some of the others are good, too, but 7 and 8 stand out the most. Actually I really really like 7.
1,6,and 12 are the most professional looking choices, although 1 and 12 are a bit dull.
I like number 7.
#4 and #7
nevermind, 8′s too goofy i don’t like it anymore. looks like the pacman ghosts. def 7.
They all look like mock-ups of already existing logos. #7 is a straight out font (a very cluttered font at that.) #6 Looks like a collage signia (Think BGSU’s 80′s and 90′s). If this is what you have to go on I guess I will have to put my vote on #3.
Gee…what a talented bunch. Kudos to everybody. It’s so hard to pick a favourite, but if pressed I might go for 9 or 10.
Great work by all those whose designs are featured!!
1 or 7 for me
I’m between 1 and 7…
I vote for 1, 7, or 10.
Yep 1 or 7
I’d say number 7, definitely the most creative
I really like #7 but for branding purposes #10 has the simplicity necessary for mugs t-shirts everything
although i like the artistry and ingenuity in most of them, I feel that a lot of them are over the top and make it unnecessarily difficult to read. thats why i like #1 and #10 and with the right color scheme you should be able to use both of them.
i noticed someone that # 10 doesn’t fit with the site? if i’m right, isn’t a planet with some sort of ring around it, or maybe just an equator line? subtly represents the universe? i dont know, maybe im wrong.
I like #7. I think that would be wicked on a hoodie. I think it would attract alot of attention.
I like #1 and #7.
