Erm, that should have been “winners are”…. as in the end the standard was so high we couldn’t pick just one.

Play with the forms by Lufograf and Lovetab by Kimlarsen shared the honours.

We just didn’t feel ready to seperate these two, they’re just so great and at this point equal. Rather than pick the wrong one and possibly regret the decision later we decided to declare them both the winner and upgrade second prize to match 1st.

Now our Graphics dept and winning designers Kimlarsen and Lufograf (if they wish) can work together with us to develop the two logos and then we’ll make a final, final decision which to pick in the coming month or more. This process will also be open and you can follow it here on the blog.

Laurents The Signal came 3rd and Japasas Spreadshirt TM received a special merit. We didn’t plan a 4th place but that design was too strong to leave empty handed.

Here are all the winners modeling their logos on Spreadshirts after the unveiling party we had this weekend in Leipzig.:

Here is what Jana said about the decision:

“I’m overwhelmed by the response this project has drawn from inside and outside our community. It is remarkable that we had four designs that each easily could have been our logo. After weeks of discussions, Kim Larsen’s and Niclas Bulard’s designs felt the best for us as a company. We couldn’t pick just one! ”

And here she is preparing to unveil the winners:

Thanks to everybody who voted or commented during this project, we’re delighted with the quality of our finalists. We’re really excited to see how these two develop and the final form our new logo will take. The OLP has been a real pleasure to organize and we’re humbled by the creativity of everyone that took part

I’ll try to resist ghoulish punnage with this post, but I can make no promises…

You’ve still time to get shirt for Halloween, in order to trick you out (sorry it was too hard to resist) we’ve introduced a new super scary Halloween font for you to use. Combined it with the glow in the dark flex for maximum impact.  It seems i’ve been the default model for all Halloween related shenanigans this year, I apologize for that, a few people have already reported that i’m a little scary

OLP closed it’s doors to submissions late on Sunday night. With reports of a submission rate of 5 logos per minute in the closing stages, it has taken a little while to get all the entries approved. In the end there were 2808 logos submitted, and so far 13 entries have made it to the grand final (there may be a few more from the final weeks shortlist, which will be decided today).

But OLP.16 is not over! In the next few days we will release a survey where you will be able to give your opinion on what should be the new Spreadshirt logo. More details to come soon…

In order to be at close quarters with Spread marketing, she moved from Paris to Leipzig in April. A rather unlikely move – or is it? Manon speaks out.
