>> Honestly, at this point I am wondering how I made it,
Is there a way to see all the other entries without having the app? (Cause if there is, I haven’t figured it out.) But as far as the final five go, I don’t see why you cann’t win. How are they choosing the winner, strictly by popular voting through the app? Or can Lego’s judges still influence the outcome somehow?
The only strange choice is the black and white one, which is barely recognizable as the logo, not easy to read, and not even that easy to recognize as what it’s supposed to be. Maybe they liked the idea of a logo small enough to affordable as a set.
The other three are good, but if I’m a judge, I can think of a reason not to vote for each one. For example the construction one is good in every way except that it omitted the studs on top. From what I’ve read, TLG loves studs and are very proud of them cause it’s what makes Legos work. But we can’t assume that the regular people voting are going to think about that.
>> Of course the participants did not all agree with the choices of the judges.
Of course not. Still curious to see what got left out that they consider good. I’m speculating here, but it would not surprise me at all to discover that a lot of the critics are prioritizing clever techniques and strong building over what actually makes a good logo. The big question to me is still how much Lego plans to use the winner for promotional purposes after the contest is over.
Do you get a prize for being a finalist?
