Subreddit logo contest finalists (approximate results)

The results are approximate. It’s my fault for not providing a clear rule for how votes should be submitted, which led to the current situation: some people upvoted comments, some left comments with multiple options, and some commented with only a single option - and only those comments were counted. Lesson learned, and next time we’ll make sure everything is organized more clearly.

Thanks to u/maniboy_69 for building the automated comment counter, and thanks to u/essensus for creating another one that confirmed the results. Here is the archive with the code, in case anyone is curious to check it.

I displayed 6 finalists in the post thumbnail because that is the maximum number of options possible in a poll post, but it’s up to the community to decide how we should conduct the final voting - whether with 6 participants or fewer. Please share your thoughts.

A lot of feedback during the contest was about refinement and scalability, would it make sense to allow finalists to submit updated versions of their entries before the final vote?

Not completely new concepts, just refined iterations based on feedback received during the contest. I’m curious whether opening this up to everyone would improve the final quality of the selection or just complicate the process.

Here is the link to the post with the voting and all entrants.

UPDATE: Please do not vote in the comments, only organizational discussion.

It’s for an engineering service covering product design, manufacturing, software development, 3D scanning, and support. They wanted a monogram or wordmark that conveys precision.

How do you read it? Thanks!

Hello everyone, let’s discuss how we can make our sub a better place.

Please share your thoughts on what could be improved. Honest criticism is welcome, including criticism without suggested solutions - as u/Caolhoeoq said, we’re a community, and one person may spot a problem while another finds the answer.

A few things that were proposed in the past few days:

u/StatikVerse suggested:
"having feedback reference principles. Since everyone wants to be so principled, let's practice it in our feedback by encouraging a format that highlights the actual principles. Maybe even have some pinned posts highlighting these principles so people can reference them easier."

u/1ne3hree suggested:
"giving different users different categories (user flairs) so people getting feedback can understand who’s giving the feedback. But at the same time I’d understand that people don’t want to dox themselves lol. "

Also u/1ne3hree
"making it mandatory to ask for the brief when someone posts for feedback? And asking users to include in their post how their choices tie to the brief or the overall direction/strategy? "

u/-Neem0- said:
"consider heavily moderating comments that ask for portfolio.. Thinking that a designer with 10+ years of experience should doxx himself as the only mean to provide critique is nonsense and should never be encouraged as a standpoint. "

u/Electroma
bring clarity to the flair categories - separating work done for real clients from self-directed projects. It seems like a useful distinction, helping people understand whether they’re looking at a real-world solution or just a simple illustration that could function as a logo

"As a mod there’s nothing you can really do tbh. Just pick a better reddit logo at least, the current one is piss god awful. Like, terrible. "
