At long last, we've chosen a winner for the Gallery Logo Contest! Drumroll please... The winners are as follows:
1st place: Mike Harding (prize: $200)
2nd place: Max Germer (prize: $100)
3rd place: Frederik Vandaele (prize: $50)
Making this decision was more difficult than any of us anticipated. We were completely floored by the number of incredibly high caliber designs. This is just further evidence of the amazingly rich community that has grown around Gallery. Stunning!
Mike Harding's design is bright, clean and eye-cathing. The logotype is tight and concise, and the semi-pixelated photo icons is brilliant. In the end we deemed it the most flexible and most representitive of what Gallery is all about.
Frederik Vandaele's design grabbed us as simple and catchy. The understated tilted box, the popped-out slides and clean text made the design exciting.
Max Germer's design was the dark horse entry. The tri-color bar is simple, yet interesting. It has a very modern XHTML/CSS feel. But what really made this logo a favorite was the "little Gallery dude". He brought character to the Gallery logo.
View the winners and all the other entries in the sneak-preview Gallery2 pre-alpha demo. Again, thanks to everyone who entered the logo contest, and everyone who submitted comments in the logo gallery (some of them were very insightful :). In the next few weeks we will be working with Mike in integrating his design into the world of Gallery. Stay tuned!!

Thanks a lot Frederik
<br />
And thanks to the gallery for the opportunity to enter.<br />
<br />
Everyone did really well with the designs, and it certainly can't have been an easy decision for the judges. I am looking forward to seeing the finished G2 when all the elements have come together!<br />
<br />
Congratulations Frederik (and Max!) for making the top three - I was in very good company
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Thanks for providing a wonderful contest to participate in. I learned a lot and you definitely got the best logo!<br />
Everytime I glance at it it reminds me of a glass of water being knocked over.<br />

Anyone else agree?
For the record: this was <a href="http://www.scene24.net/index.php?itemid=563">altered design</a> when I got to hear I was one of the three finalists. Thought I might share this with you ;-)
