Time crunch! The clock is counting down! :)

Think "Web On TV"!! We don't want to look like TiVo! We've received enough stylized "K"s.

Good luck!!!!!!

Hey everybody!!

We have less than 2 days to go until the end of the contest. We've decided that we want to let this thing run to the end before we pick a winner. There have been a few really fantastic designs, and we are very confident that 99 Designs was a great way for us to explore new talent.

So, with so little time left, I'm posting a new mission to make things exciting...

Most of our favorite designs so far have fallen more in the realm of the abstract. The prominent design element has been the letter "K". What we'd like to see now are more creative illustrations of the convergence of TV and the Internet.

Any new designs should follow some pretty strict guidelines: The text "Kylo" should be lowercase in a reasonably non-customized font. Make it metallic or Web2.0 shiny or whatever you feel makes the design pop, but don't overdesign the text. The focus should be on the iconic element. It should look good from far away. It will appear as a visual element in the UI. It should also look like a desktop icon. It can incorporate a "K" if you feel strongly about it, but it needs to represent "Web on TV" in some creative fashion. 3D elements are *highly* encouraged.

Thanks again! It'll all be over soon, I promise!! :)

BIG UPDATE:

Kudos to adisign09 for #176 and grade for #190. Really top-notch work!

Now that we have had the chance to review a LOT of submissions, we're able to see what we react to the most.

- We like seeing "Kylo" written in lowercase. It's more interesting to see the descender of the "y" the and extenders of the "k" and the "l" break up the design a bit.
- We like seeing more than 2 colors in a single design. Kylo is about a myriad of options... so it's good to see a logo that reflects that with color. That being said, we've seen a couple logos inspired by Google's, and we're not digging that.
- I can say that we will definitely be selecting a logo with real depth. The 3D stuff we've seen is awesome.

It would be nice to see some more organic shapes in the 3D, high contrast designs. Maybe more fluid curves, less rigid rings.

Thanks again to everyone!!!

It looks like we've missed a couple cases of design infringement. Our apologies to the original designers.
