I need to get this off my chest. Please bash me or agree with me politely.

IMO, I was kind of let down looking at the endless ways that maemo was just redone with a different font and a play on the letters "ae". My submissions admittedly aren't that great, but I was at least trying to think outside of that box and aim for a smarter logo for a smart group of people. There are a bunch of “smarter” logo’s that were submitted by others and I see that none of them made it to the top four. Why?

I know that when you look around at the world of logo’s most of them are usually text with a modification or change of colors. Look at Amazon, Toys R’ Us, Google, Nokia, etc. Maybe, this is why from the previous paragraph.

In the end, I know the logo selected is a good logo. I applaud its choice and stand by the decisions of my fellow NIT enthusiasts. It was fun and a great thing that the maemo logo contest was opened up to everyone. I’d like to see more things like this in the future.
