We received a fantastic response to the Brand Australia logo contest.  362 logos designs, 110 designers, 19 countries. A great example of the power of crowdsourcing. The winners (who are announced below) received an ice cold $2500 in cash.

B&T magazine's cover story today announced the winners and shortlisted designers. As background, B&T is Australia's highest circulating advertising and marketing magazine, so this contest (in addition to the cash) is excellent exposure for the winners and designers who made the shortlist - well done.



The selection of the shortlist and winners was made by a mixture of public voting and a panel of judges that included prominent Australian creative agencies (including Cam Blackley at Droga5, Jonathan Pease from Tongue, Mark Braddock at Block) as well Kevin Johns from B&T and one vote from the team at DesignCrowd.

You can read B&T's Brand Australia article here (including comments from the judges).
