Congratulations on 315 entries!
As you choose the best new logo for your company, here's an important point to remember...
When you choose a winner, that designer gets a Gold award. So, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. should be filled with a separate designer and a different concept you find worthy. Because, as designers, placing helps our point totals and rankings. It's also a great way to show your appreciation for the work and effort that eventually led to the development of your favorite design.
It's frustrating (and ultimately pointless) to give all the top rankings to the same designer. Small variations keep different designers from earning a trophy or ribbon.
I hope you find this information useful. Best of luck choosing your winner. There are many good ones from which to choose!
