Only that many of the suggestions made to improve his icon, I had incorporated in mine. But like you have said all along, its all about getting the best icon, so hopefully the final product will be clear. <BR/><BR/>My only beef is with the closing time, otherwise it was a great contest. I am glad to hear that a mechanism is being incorporated in future polls from Quimble to allow the poll to end at a certain time.Kevin Zelniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192385384151149566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-73173266229676823802007-09-28T07:22:00.000-04:002007-09-28T07:22:00.000-04:00Heh. Glad you're taking this so well, Kevin. In a ...Heh. Glad you're taking this so well, Kevin. In a feat of 20/20 hindsight, the polling service we used has now given us the option to put a closing time on a poll. Unfortunately that feature wasn't available when the poll was created.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, the poll was extremely close throughout, and the winning entry was ahead for most of the time the poll was open.<BR/><BR/>Kevin, regarding your claim that Uriel's icon is now going to be revised to look more like yours, that's true in some regards. However, one thing we're going to be doing is de-emphasizing the bpr3.org URL on the icon, something that would have had to be done with your icon, too. Many commenters objected to the use of a magnifying glass on an icon because it looks too much like the search icon in everyone's browser.<BR/><BR/>(But we do like your icon a lot! That's why it was in the top 3!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-62628917809244471942007-09-27T16:47:00.000-04:002007-09-27T16:47:00.000-04:00what a load of detritus.
