10th Anniversary Design Challenges - And The Winners Are

When the design challenges were first announced on 10th Jan, I didn’t think that it would consume so much of my time… but here we are and you are just a few swipes/scrolls away from finding out the winners!!

Oh, what a tremendous moment it has been! We’ve had 102 logo designs from 34 participants, and 64 t-shirt designs from 21 participants! And in my eyes, they are all winners already for participating!

After an anonymous voting session by 13 Connect Moderators (none of them were participating to remain impartial), we got to our first batch of finalists! And I’m super thrilled to announce them below. In alphabetical order (based on the random filenames that I assigned to each design):

Huge congrats to all the finalists!! They are all such amazing designs! :tada: :tada: :tada: From the 15 logo design finalists and 12 t-shirt design finalists, we then asked the Local Guides team to help narrow down the options (Stage 2 judging process) and they chose their favourite 5 logo designs and 3 t-shirt designs which the community then anonymously voted on in the final Stage 3!!

And so… drum roll please…here are the results from the public vote!! :eyes:

In joint 2nd and first place, we have a tie!! :exploding_head: And the community has chosen @Rakshith_LG and @ShifaAymal as their winners with 25 votes each!! Whoop!! Whoop!! And well done!! :tada:




Note: I never considered what would happen in the event of a tie… so… er… for now, let’s just roll with having two winners!!

Again, huge congrats to the podium finishers and a massive well done to the winners! @Rakshith_LG and @ShifaAymal , I’ll be in touch to go through your designs and check if we need to make any minor tweaks to make them ready for general use!

To everyone who has participated, thanks again for joining in this crazy fun!! I hope you have all enjoyed taking part and overclocking your creative juices!! To the community, thanks so much for voting and supporting this design challenge!! We’ve only just begun and there are so many more plans for the rest of 2025!!

Updates:
24/2 - I have reached out to @Rakshith_LG and @ShifaAymal to get the design files from them as I would like to offer some minor recommendations. I’ll be looking at:

  • legibility; improving text, contrast etc
  • printability; checking the print output
  • design improvements

Of course, these are just my opinions so it’s up to the respective designers to approve them as well. I’m not sure how long this will take but I’ll be working as fast as I can. Thanks
