Evaluation system A website was created from scratch with access only to judges All logos were displayed along with the PDF file sent by author Judges were able to discard logos at first sight, saving them time Judges could not see any author information while evaluating Judges were able to watch their personal top ten Evaluation process could be resumed at any time Comments were submitted anonymously
Aspects to evaluate Concept Concept relation (to InfoLit) Positive association (shows InfoLit positively) Easy identification (quickly and easily recognized) Design Abstraction level (communicate the appropiate understanding level of the intended audience) One color (logo as efective in black and white as in color) Flow (white space should flow rather than be trapped Reduction (logo can be reduced to a small diameter and still be readable)

Contest Winner COMMENTS “Very nice" "This elaborated 'i' looks better in black-and-white. It is simple and can connotes a learned person. The ICT element is lacking." “Actually I like this better in black and white. It grew on me when i thought of the dot being the "i" for information" "The logo is nice, attractive, InfoLit related, simple, plain and easy to reproduce/print."
