That was unexpected at The Open Logo Project 1.6

I’m sure you’ll all agree that its really nice when you get something unexpected. In the past few days we saw these two:

1. Firstly t-shirt talk created one huge collage of all the week 1 entries, which looks absolutely brilliant.

2. I went to approve an entry entitled “are you sure you have a problem with your logo” and found, not a logo but some suggestions about how we should redesign our site.

“I guess the logo is not the bug. Actually the layout push everything with that blue navigation bar, and with a little work can be much better.

The logo will not make you so popular any way. The Service and the harmony of design i guess express more about you.”

Full Size version

3. We had a dis-appearing logo?!?!

4. Naked people wearing t-shirts?

5. Last year was not so different. A participant created not a logo, but an entire draft marketing leaflet for Wacom. However you decide to contribute, directly or indirectly, we’d just like to say thanks for taking the time, we review everything.

Thanks for highlighting our collage. We will have one for week 2 soon. Also, wanted to let you know the link above for “logo identity theft” is bad.

Thanks for featuring my logo!

Naked people wearing T-shirts is a very powerfull concept.
I envision a whole ad-campaign showing famous people with nothing but a shirt in front of a neutral background. Very much like the iPod campaign, but even more so.
It is a universal and timeless as you can get…

Nevertheless I am a little bit confused why the logo shows up in this posting but not in the week 2 shortlist. maybe a technical mistake? :D

Good luck finding famous people to model t-shirts naked from the shirt down, I hope your wallets as big as your imagination ;)
