baron-pierreIV Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 OK, again, we got a great group of logos for such a short time period. Phase I voting begins now. You are allowed only 2 votes each but the two CANNOT go to a single entry. Your two votes must go to TWO separate entries. If you vote more than 2x, ALL your votes will be voided. So please choose carefully. But you may also vote for only one entry if you so choose (Entrant may vote for himself). Top 4 entries move on to a single-vote showdown. Bogus votes will be discounted. Poll will stay open for 60 hours. I decided to forego an Evaluation step, in fairness to everyone (since I am also competing)...and the entries should speak for themselves. Please vote for TWO logos that just aren't pretty logos but convey a distinct meaning of Istanbul to you! (Thanks to Sir Rols for his technical assistance.) Poll will close on Thursday, Feb 25 at 6:00 am, Pacific/California time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I gotta say, it's fun to be able to vote for once. I'm often torn between not wanting to decide a comp, but also secretly hoping one day I'll get to make a tie-break vote. The flip-side is, of course, it's hard to decide who to go for. They're all great in this comp. I'm tempted to go with Titus-kecil's (E), bu then maybe it's a bit more influenced by generic islamic design than Istanbul itself. I think I'll stump for design C.

deawebo Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 A is my favorite!!! All the way!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Voted for C. Liked the idea of not casting the name of the creators... Somehow, it's more fair since some people here does not vote those who are not their friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"D" said to me that you are right, those are tulips. They can also represent balloons which mean the run-up of the bid but also hope, youth and dynamism...

oakydoky Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Voted for design G -- puts the others to shame imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 A - Slick and professional, my early favourite B - A terribly weak pun in logo form. Surely this deserves some recognition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 B - A terribly weak pun in logo form. Surely this deserves some recognition? A 3-legged bull? How about a "wooden horse"? That is more Anatolia than a Spanish bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aismanggo Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 nice entry!my vote goes to c..i love baron's idea to put just a,b,c not the name to represent but perhaps after this every entry need to be sent privately to the advocate so everyone doesn't know whose logo is that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBModerator Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Just a quick on-off-topic note: I've been notified that the official Istanbul 2020 logo will not be revealed until after candidature acceptance - that means after May 23 assuming Istanbul makes the list. The current image is simply a wordmark. Also, they're apparently watching this thread - so maybe your ideas will rub off on the official designers.

afiqnadzir Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 in may?wow..it take them so long just to comeout with bid logo...anyway if they want to choose from our candidates,lol..i will say A is the suitable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gangwon Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Gots to agree with krow. E is my favourite. Lots of good choices here though. The Turkish Olympic Committee should just buy one of these logos, it'd be a lot cheaper than hiring some big shot designer. B - A terribly weak pun in logo form. Surely this deserves some recognition? What pun? Bull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I really like E. I think it's elegant, Turkish and unique. It doesn't look like everything else. Has wonderful style and sophistication. I love the fact that it's monochromatic! I'm so sick of these rainbow bid logos. A is very nice as well, but feels a but more predictable. The colors don't say Turkey to me, but whatever. I do NOT like C (and unfortunately it's leading, so I hope there's a second round). To me it feels very oddly composed. It does seem predictable and feels a bit amateurish to me. The idea hasn't gelled. There's too much happening and it's just not iconic enough. Sorry to disagree with y'all. The tulip/balloons are intriguing, but they don't quite do it for me. Again, the color and style doesn't seem sufficiently Turkish. NOTE TO ISTANBUL BID COMMITTEE: WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T PICK ANOTHER RAINBOW COLOR SCHEME! DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT! SET YOURSELVES APART! Seriously now, people. Let's see some votes for E. At the very least it deserves to move on to phase 2. I did not submit a logo and I have no idea who did E, but I think it's worthy of more attention than it's gotten so far. Definitely my favorite.

Athensfan Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I guess I got my plea in For E too late. Looks like most votes have been cast. Very sad. Congratulations to E designer. Very nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
