I just caught up on all of this, and I absolutely loved reading this thread and stimulating my mind for my own projects. I want to thank everyone- and I can see how hard it is to pick!
What a great and fun idea!
Overall I think I am partial to this emailed entry:
I looked at every single entry, and liked this one best overall because it is clean for print, and professional in a young, modern way. However, I think it could be thinned out (like the lines and fonts thickness) and darkened. Then again, while I would want to see that, those changes could ruin it! Whoever did that series (by comparing the font used for 420 in the adjacent emailed entries) had some good ones!
I also liked this one:
I like how thin and subtle this one is- but didn't like the lack of green and thought the sizing could be evened out. Again, this is clean, modern, and suitable for print. Which brings me to my final favorite by Miro:
This one is terrific for a light background with a more even feeling horizontal layout. I think the green might look nicer darkened, and the 2-tones could be brought a bit closer together. I love the super duper thin font used for "MAGAZINE"
In my opinion, a good logo can't be too photographic or colorful- for a great example refer to the familiar fedex logo. I wonder what some of the other fedex ideas they had were? Some of the entries look like cool bumper stickers or shirts though...
Best regards and happy and hempy new year to all!
