It seems they touched a nerve. There were lots of contest entries, and they are really fun to review! Makes me actually want to see some color on our sad monochromatic wild wild west moneys.

The winning redesign got 7,380 votes! and second place still got a whopping 4,688 votes! It ain’t American Idol numbers, but it’s pretty darn good.

As a graphic design project, it seems pretty fun too. I bet a lot of graphic design programs will add this project into their curriculum next year…

We spend a lot of time on this blog showing our readers what other great designers are doing. From time to time we think it’s necessary to show what we do. As you can tell, we’re not an ordinary design firm. We launch inventive products, we create events, we do new types of websites with cool brand identities.  A lot of this comes from our enthusiasm to use a genuine grass-roots approach that is as dedicated to our community as it is to great design. Overall we believe our efforts come together in a way that make the unfamiliar familiar and that our efforts are both from the people that it’s for. When is our work for the community? When is it for our selves? When is it for our clients? For us it’s hard to get that separation. That’s what makes our work “sticky.”

The Visual Art Exchange produced the video for the competition, and if SPARKcon wins they will receive a $5,000 award to use in the 2010 SPARKcon festivities.

SPARKcon

SPARKcon is a “creative potluck” of SPARKs or creative themes such as art, music, film, fashion, etc. Each SPARK is put together by individuals who are deeply embedded in that specific local scene. SPARKcon is a program of Visual Art Exchange, a Raleigh non-profit whose mission is to support emerging artists and connect the community to the arts.

SPARKcon is a showcase of creativity, talent and ideas of “The Creative Hub of the South,” the North Carolina Triangle region.
