Some of the graphic design geeks over at Kirupa Forum decided to have a ‘Logo Design Battle,’ a sort of visual arts freestyle competition, and they chose Gizmodo to riff off of. And as much as we love our current design (not that we aren’t always tweaking), we thought it was pretty cool they liked Gizmodo enough to use us as a springboard, so we thought maybe we’d up the ante a bit and offer a new JetAudio iAudio M3 20GB hard disk MP3 player to the winner of the contest (after we review the damn thing, that is). So if you’re a designer and you want to head over to their forums and join the battle, we’d love to see what neat graphics you come up with.

Contest details/limitations/caveats inside.
A couple of minor bluh bluhs: First of all, we’ve been working on some graphic changes for the last few weeks ourselves and while we don’t intend to cop anybody’s ideas we also don’t want to be accused of doing this contest to harvest free work (not that we’re beyond that, mind you, but we would just run the contest here, not on someone else’s site). Anyway, it’s just a fun little thing and I thought it was cool, but I just want to cockblock the haters right up front who might try to bite us. Any similarities in our future designs to contest entries will either be coincidental or overtly acknowledged, and no wherein between, alright?
The other thing is that since we didn’t come up with the idea for, and aren’t running the contest, we can’t be held responsible for, you know, anything at all. We’ll keep an eye on it and try to make sure it’s fun and fair and everything, but ultimately it’s not our baby.
Anyway, whew! I hate disclaimers! Go make cool stuff, thanks.
