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.
1. Mekanikal_Demon
2. Anderi
3. esmaeil
4. fogelks
5. esmaeil 2
6. Cullinan
7. Bishopwhitet
8. Chica
9. Chica 2
10. Davidr4889
11. NathanCipher
12. DFrost
I like #1 the best. I think that is the one that will allow you the most recognition for the site as well as maintaining a nice clear and clean logo for use on any type of merchandise. Coffee cup-hint,hint
#1 is the best by far, but you also need a mascot…or picture, whatever…..that people will see and be like….yeaaaaaaaaaa….I go ta that site….
I think 7 makes the best statement, but 1 is very good also! Good job to everyone who submitted though!!!!!
I am jumping on the bandwagon and saying #1 and #7.
#1 is most easily marketable and recognizable: good for links, headers, ads, etc.
#7 is the “coolest” and most complex. It would look great on a t-shirt.
I just read the comments and obviously it’s a tie between number 1 and 7, right?
I too like them both JF, but as many already said, #1 looks…. coommercial-lish, like it’s a company. Too bad, Because I like it
#7
Numbers 1 and 7 have my vote.
I should say that I enjoy looking at 7, but I am not sure it’s something I would want as a logo. I agree that it would look cool on a t-shirt, coffee mug, etc., but 1 is well done and probably will appeal to the hoi polloi, as well as the intelligentsia that already visit this site.
no one else likes 5?
I like the mascot idea with the seasons but I just don’t really feel like number eight pops out as the listverse mascot. No offense intended of course, it’s much better than I could do =)
Tell you wat…add up the votes in these comments and see which one adds up the most…i guess the masterstroke in #1 is..the 4 letters in CAPS after “V”.
I would tell that, in my opinion, the best is number 1, then would be No. 7 and No. 3
Easily 7, the most unique of the bunch.
Taos: clearly I do – I selected it from all the others to be in the top 12!
8================>
true, i do like 1 better, but 5 has its own appeal, and collapses down to being the logo on everything
I like 1, 4 and 7.
But I’ll put my vote up for 7.
I think numbers 2 and 7 are the best
number 1 and 4 are winners in my opinion
4! 4! 4!
Jfrater: I personally have a preference for #1 and #2, not only because they have “the list universe”, but they also add “listverse”. I remember visiting this site because of a link and liking it alot, and remembering it was called the list universe, but having no idea what the URL actually was, and http://www.thelistuniverse.com not working. I had to google to get “listverse”. Only fot that reason I pick those two. Is there a way to incorporate that feature in the logo you actually end up choosing? Just a suggestion.
Number 7 though, is very very cool and classy. Not geeky at all to me, and even so, this site features a wide variety of topics on its list, from the most mundane stuff to great book and art lists.
8! 8! 8! too
jfrater: How many possibilities were submitted??
SocialButterfly: over 40
I like #5 but the texture ruins it for me. It makes it look too… 90′s… if that makes any sense lol
My favorite would have to be #7 though.
I’m definitely voting for number 7!
If people really don’t like “The List Universe” ask the designer to change number 7 to Listverse instead?
I say this as a graphic designer who is designing a logo right now.
Wait, did I see someone calling #7 too geeky? I am speechless.
#140: I think GP’s got a point there.
Well if #6 is falling back of the pack too much,
I like #10 – it’s slick and effective.
C’mon 6… Don’t give up!
I think #7 is the best there. Great entries overall though, very high quality.
Ooh – do we get to vote! #1!
If only #1 was in italics…(the .com part).. just a thought..
i like 11 6 and 4
I like #1, for that it’s direct and nice to look at.
Definitely number 7.
Don’t get me wrong, number 1 caught my eye and is very nice, but that ‘tick’ V… It looks like the logo for a telecommunications company. Very clean, very readable, and utterly forgettable. I think this site deserves something a bit more special.
Number 7 immediately catches the eye, and in this day and age its complexity is no problem for merchandise. I admit though that a url might be a prudent addition.
#1 does it for me!
You have my vote for #6
1, with 7 as a close runner-up.
Number 7 is the hands down winner, it’s definetly the most professional.
Like #1. Very clean and professional.
#11 was a 2nd choice -though a distant 2nd.
great work they are all really cool. I really like 1 and 7. 1 because it has the URL as well. But 7 is my preference as to me it has a scientific look to it.
well done everyone!!!
I like #7 and #11. All good.
#7
i vote for #1
its simple and gets the message across well i feel
7, by far. but i like all of them!
#6 but maybe with some different colors
# 10 is good
definitely love numbers 3 &6
Your answer is #1. That’s just based on all the other comments.
#1 is my favourite, although #6 is great, too, in a super-hero kind of way
#1 – One of the best.
#2 – If the colors were changed, maybe.
#3 – Don’t like the typeface used for the large letters.
#4 – I like it everything except the smiley face. It has nothing to do with lists. And its just…weird.
#5 – Reminds me of The N! logo for some reason.
#6 – The View?
#7 – Interesting. One of the best, too.
#8 – Oh no. Why are there little monsters?
#10, #11, #12 – All three look like corporate symbols. They’re no fun.
There aren’t any others you want us to look at? Are you SURE?
Number one is the best. For sure.
I like # 1 best
1 & 7, but #1 is the best!
Number One by a country mile.
Number four gets my second vote.
If pushed, number two is bronze.
My vote goes to 1 and 10. 7 is cool looking but I can’t see that very much effort went into it by looking at it – it looks like most of the creativity is in the font… I see a lot of people voting for this one so I just had to point that out.
I like ten for a t-shirt kind of logo but it’s a little corporate looking, I think it may just be the color.
One is a bit complex for a t-shirt but would look excellent on the top of the website, and since I would see this more I think this one is the better of the two.
7, followed at a distance by 1 and 10
I am just amazed that my favorites are not being picked!
My vote goes for #1 as the top submission, #7 as the second.
1 is very good.
i think simple is the key, rather then having this huge production.
the other entries are still very good.
9 and 10 pls
