Winners of the Un-Official PTS Logo Redesign Contest
April 18, 2007
The submissions came flying in.
And now, the winners of the 100% Un-Official Princeton Theological Seminary Logo Redesign Contest will be announced…
First Place ($30 Amazon): Mike Rohde
Second Place ($20 iTunes): Adam Spooner
People’s Choice Award ($10 iTunes): Mark Shivers
Congratulations to the winners and to all those who submitted entries to the contest. There were some difficult decisions to be made. As a judge and as the creator of this contest, I decided that #5 should receive the People’s Choice Award, as it received the 2nd highest number of votes by readers, just behind #8. However, since #8 already received 2nd Place and a prize, I didn’t want to give them another prize. Hope that clears up any confusion. I still think it reflects the People’s Choice, because I noticed a few votes from George Hunsinger and Stacy Johnson (PTS professors), so I don’t know that all of those votes were valid because I’m pretty sure they didn’t actually vote.
Anyway, now I guess we’ll see if Princeton Seminary decides to use any of these. Don’t hold your breath.

#5 had at most 25 votes
#8 had at least 29 votes
Yet #5 wins? Odd. Looks like our judge was a little bit biased…

….and by “wins” in the above comment I meant regarding the “people’s choice” award, which apparently was not an award meant to reflect the “people’s choice.”

CC - I just edited the post to give you some more info.
#8 had already received a prize and I didn’t want two prizes going to the same person - and #5 was clearly the People’s Choice, just a few votes behind #8 (even though #8 probably had some fake votes).

I voted for #2, clearly the best design! I wouldn’t ever dare vote for tired, boring number eight.

My apologies Dr. Torrance. Correction will be made.
