The gamification of SPICELogo Design Contest

gamification and process improvement are the two key elements
The actual term to be written in a sentence would be 'the gamification of process improvement'
Gamification and game play is generally considered 'fun'
Whilst Process Improvement is generally not considered 'fun' (at the moment until it is gamified!)
Hope this provides some inspiration
'gamification' is one of the new buzz words of 2011. Google search brings up 2,220,000 hits. Popularity of the word 'gamification' has grown in last 6 months
It is usually written all in lower case

Hello! Here are some hints for getting the most out of your contest as it progresses:

~~ Rank designs daily -- this will encourage participation.
~~ Rank a variety of designs to get a variety of entries.

~~ The more feedback you provide, the better results you will see.
~~ Designers are not offended by "Not Interested".
~~ Over-use of "Not Interested" discourages participation.

All letters within a word must be the same colour. However individual words may have different colours.

gamification principles: points, levels, badges, rewards
SPICE principles: improvement, capability levels, process prfiles (think abacus)

Is there a reason why we don't use the official SPICE logo in this design?

official SPICE logo can be used in the design.
the SPICE logo is owned by me - it was the subject of another logotournament competition !
