Lost the competition
A few weeks ago I received an email from the Dept of Mechanical Eng at school, announcing a logo design competition for the "The Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering." Being a person who's amused by logos, I decided to give the competition my best try.
Initial design in AutoCAD
After Photoshop
Today I got an email telling me my design was creative, and that it was a hard decision, blah blah blah, and that I lost the competition...
I'm curious to see what the winner's logo looks like.
I designed the logo in AutoCAD, and took it into Photoshop, and with my limited skills, and with a bit luck I got what you can see below. The yellow object is a classic caliper, the orange thing is a 6 axis robot, and the gear is obvious. Yellow and gold are the university colours.

The author of UWMike was the winner, I'm sure I can convince him to put up the designs he submitted. I believe he put in four. I think a big reason that yours may not have been chosen is that it has to be simple and easily photocopied.

thanks abufares. I will update this post with a link when I get the image.
anonymous, thanks for filling me in. Please try and convince him, as he seems like a talented guy, and I wanted to get a sneak peak at the dept logo.
Congrats to Mike..

Its nice and simple; which is always good. Too much clutter is not.
So, what does your design symbolise?

I liked the logo, Well done!
i think it really takes COUARGE for someone to face his loss in a competiton and talk about it(like what you've done).
So don't stop trying and sure sooner or later you'll taste the joy of winning..Good luck
