Both Ange and I thought this was the favorite to win until today. Unfortunately the final testing/voting session didn't go your way, although both your entries received plenty of positive comments.
Why it didn't win: The symbol wasn't seen as representing a media player as well as the winning entry; a few people said this one looked too generic or vague. Unfortunately most people didn't see the centre of the symbol as a triangle or play button until I pointed it out - I'd hoped more of them would. Females tended to like the strong colors but males weren't as enamored with the three-color approach (other color options were considered as well, not just RGB).
You did get a number of votes to win. Your entries probably made more impact than any of the others. The problem was that they also received a number of negative votes (much to my surprise) so to a certain extent we went with a more neutral option that no one *disliked*.
My personal opinion: The symbol is fantastic and has high impact. It lends itself well to 3D manipulation and animation. The text has character while being easy to read. The whole thing works very well on different backgrounds. It jumps out and grabs me.
I'm gutted to lose this one. I'd love to buy it as well as the winning logo (even just for the symbol) but I really can't justify the expense.
Thank you so much for your time and effort on this contest. Sorry it didn't work out better.

It turns out the voters did like this one ahead of the other one. Unfortunately it had a few negative votes which counted against it and turned us towards the ones that didn't divide opinion so much.
This is a great logo IMO.

Thanks. Can you also supply a document assigning copyright to me and warranting the originality of the work?

Looking great. I'll drop this one and leave the other version as the one to focus on.
