Party announces logo contest results

The Green Party of the United States has announced the winners of the "Let's loGO Contest," in which graphic artists were invited to submit designs for a Green Party logo.

The winning design (pictured above), selected by the Green Party's Coordinating Committee, was submitted by Lisa Luke and Daniel Strickland of San Francisco, Ca. Their design will be used for a line of merchandise to be sold at the National Convention and throughout the remainder of 2004.

A design submitted by Diane Foley, also of California, has been selected as a runner-up, and her design will also be used for similar projects.

"We're grateful that so many creative people volunteered their time to develop a design for the party," said Kara Mullen, the Green Party's national fundraising director.

"We feel that we have two worthy concepts with which we can develop a great line of merchandise. We used a very democratic process to choose the designs and had a lot of fun in the process. While we can't compete with the other partiesâ fat bank rolls, weâre light years ahead when it comes to democracy."

I'll post a new front page article on this development, with links and pix (when available) -- unless you want to do the honors.

It'd be nice if others got a chance to celebrate this outcome. :-)

I liked your idea of incorporating the Sunflower Logo on GC. Why not? The GP-US is probably not going to use it on their web site, and they had made such lovely use of it during the 2004 election and the recount campaign, so I say let's go for it!
