Mister Wong’s New Logo!
The dice have been tossed! We’ve made our decision and today we are crowning the winner of our Mister Wong Logo Contest.
After Mister Wong users chose the top 12 out of over 1800 submitted designs, and the international jury chose the top 3 finalists, the final decision was made by the Mister Wong Team.
The important criteria for us was, of course, the relation to the name “Mister Wong”, the functionality of the logo as a Favicon, as well, in recognizability, but also the natural trademark criteria.
Therefore, we chose the design by Hu Nan from China in a reduced version and are excited to present it to the public: Mister Wong’s New Logo! :)
In the next few days, the logo will be placed on all of Mister Wong’s sites. The new Wong buttons can be found here: http://www.mister-wong.com/stuff/buttons/.
WONG THE WEB and Happy Holidays
from your Wong Team!

[...] Recibieron 1830 propuestas de logotipo, se quedaron con 12 entre las que había algunos realmente buenos. De los tres finalistas han cogido el más normalillo y encima lo han destrozado quedándose con solo un parte de la imagen que había hecho el diseñador. [...]

Lamentable… no hay otra forma de describirlo.
Yo no participé pero he seguido de cerca todo el proceso, si yo fuera el diseñador ni siquiera decía que yo lo hice. Por eso los concursos apestan.

the worst one you choose, other ones are better.
my apologies to designer, your work is great but not the best.

Ouch! Really?
What a Logo Contest to remember…
December 21st, 2007 at 02:15
No don’t chop the mark up,it losses all its personality.The mark before told a story,it had a message…true to the chinese culture…now its a man in a box….WHHHYY!

realmente me parece que no es representativo… habían (incluso dentro de los 12 preselecionados, algunos mucho mejores que ese… este me pare como abstracto…. sinceramente, y como diseñador les puedo decir que fue una desicion errónea.

Sí, pero de alguna manera, simplificado resulta más agradable. Encaja.
Y ya parece una mascota también: tiene un aire al Cuttlass de Calpurnio Pisón. Sí, me parece bien. El logo de Madrid 2008 también fue ‘rediseñado’ y se quedó mejor (esto no es una deshonra para el diseño original; bienvenido el cambio si es bueno).

I think the logo is very fitting as it incorporates the well recognized chinese name-stamps which I have always felt were a beautiful standalone graphic, with each one an original print. The bold Capitalization of the letters is also becoming. well done Hu Nan, don’t worry about the negative comments… I too entered the competition but I unlike some, am not a sorry loser.
December 21st, 2007 at 10:53
No… my apologies to designer but… no
There is no conection bettwen logo and the profile of the site-application
But if there is one… It might be a very deep one.

not a person a mascot represents web 2.0 keep the existing logo (star included)
So I see that the new logo meets all the requirements given at the beginning … *ironic*

hi everybody out there.
it’s hard to believe, but when the whole thing started, they were looking for a new mascot (!) that should go along with the mister wong logo… now a design has won that doesn’t have the quality of a mascot and the whole logotype is changed into something new, but not into something better.
a very strange way to end a competition that started with some really nice ideas…

Evitemos satanizar el Logo
Seguramente todos tuvimos un preferido, empezando por nuestros propios diseños.
Los jueces SIEMPRE se equivocan, pero yo me disfrute el concurso diseñando y me la pase bien adquiriendo imaginariamente mis gadgets con el premio, hasta que me desperté a trabajar.
:-) somos una buena comunidad, felices fiestas.

que tristeza de logo…muy feito…….crei que de todo esto iba resultar algo muchisimo mejor…. :S
December 21st, 2007 at 15:54
Es un logo bien simplón. Otros dirán que está más feo que una patada a los huevos.
December 21st, 2007 at 21:01
Sinceramente, habia mejores.
Sin desmerecer el trabajo ganador.

[...] Ya se decidió el ganar del concurso de Mister Wong y me acabó de quedar bastante desilusionado ya que la elegida era la que menos me gustaba, yo no se bien que es lo que se tiene en cuenta, por ahí los colores de los otros dos logotipos eran muy 2.0 y el elegido es un poco más sobrio pero quizas… y solo quizas no quieran un logo con un vida tan corta.

Congratuliations to the winner. But I think there was many other logos that looked better!
This one looks “old school” and I don’t understand how it can represent Mister Wong???
January 23rd, 2008 at 18:26
Frischer Schwung durch das neue Logo! Gefällt mir sehr gut - neuer Pep!
January 25th, 2008 at 06:52
Excellent choice. Very simple, clear and true to the Asian theme of Mister Wong.
February 3rd, 2008 at 07:43
Didn’t see the others, but I like the new logo, Hu Nan. A belated congratulations to you.
February 12th, 2008 at 00:49
Como opinó otro usuario: excelente elección. Simple, claro y fiel al tema asiático de Mister Wong. O en términos más técnicos diría: síntesis gráfica, alto contraste y mediático entre lo figurativo y lo simbólico.
March 25th, 2008 at 21:47
I don’t know the old logo, but I’m fine with the new one. Congratulations to the winner.
June 26th, 2008 at 06:17
I will Also use the same thyme on my blog. Old logo was a good logo too, but it is more charmint than it.
July 25th, 2008 at 21:47
I love the logo. It is really simple and people will appreciate it
