Dear Soil, I hope you are not annoyed that I am reposting this thread in this part of the forums :-] I'd just like to recall the challenge. At present there is no internationally recognized symbol for human rights. The "Logo for Human Rights" initiative wants to change that! Show the world your logo idea, whether it's a sketch or a complicated design. What matters is that the symbolism is convincing. Discuss and assess the logo competition entries with people from all over the world, supported by a team of experts. A prominent jury will make a pre-selection from all the entries. In a global public online ballot, the winner will be chosen from among the top 10.

Hi Marc and everybody Here are the finalists (scroll down a bit): http://humanrightslogo.net/blog/posts I voted for number 5

hey marc don't know why my face is familiar to you! it's happened before where i've been stopped by people thinking i'm someone else, in grocery stores & airports. i must have a twin, maybe there's triplets of me out there somewhere. i like to think i'm unique though!! thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! cheers, michelle http://michellecfecit.wordpress.com/

not crazy about the winning logo for the human rights challenge. i appreciate minimalism but when all logos are beginning to look like clip art, it's a sign that we're even too lazy as a society to just look at something. nothing intriguing or moving about it & borrowing on the already iconic peace symbol of the dove or 'free as a bird' image. why not new ideas, new practices, new blood? michelle http://michellecfecit.wordpress.com/

I would also prefer a less known or connected symbol. There was one with 3 balks in black, that impressed me, but it did not explain itsself and something was missing. But reduced and dark was special.
