Crowdsourcing Medal Design For The Olympics
The first ever Youth Olympics will be held in Singapore. Interestingly, they’re crowdsourcing the design of the 1st time Youth Olympic Medals. Winners will receive a week-long VIP trip for two to the games, a replica of the Youth Olympic Games gold medal, and PR package that will give visibility to the designer.This is incredibly cool. I’m a huge fan of crowdsourcing and have had tremendous success crowdsourcing the Open Economist and Clean Economies logos.
I received nearly 300 submissions over the course of 3 days for the Clean Economies one. I wonder how many they’ll get for the Olympics. Check out their gallery so far. I’m not that impressed with them yet. However, the better ones usually come later when designers start building off of ideas and each other’s designs.
I’m planning on writing a post explaining some of the best practices I learned throughout the process.
