Tah-dah!
Here's the new myTransponder logo.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to look at the various iterations of the logo. There were tons of good directions... but eventually, you've gotta pick one execution and move on.
I'm pretty happy with how the final logo worked out.
To help get from the initial design that I had cooked up, to what you see here... took some work. (and talent that I didn't have!)
So I decided to crowdsource the work... using crowdSPRING, I posted the project and got submissions from all around the world. Who knew it would be so easy to tap talent from around the planet? Designers from Italy, India, Canada, and the Philippines all contributed. Ultimately it was grapesoda from Scotland in the UK who won the project.
"Ace," hasn't said anything to me about it, but my guess is that he's either a long lost cousin to, or maybe even a just a drinking buddy of, "The Stiq."
I bet that he's under the impression that chicks dig the mysterious type... so I haven't pressed him on it.
You can always drop Ace a line via email at ace@myTransponder.com, or follow him on Twitter. He'll keep you up to date on all the goings on here at myTransponder.

Hey Rod - great job in running your project on http://www.crowdspring.com and a really nice pick for your new logo! Pretty cool when you have designers from so many countries help you with your design and you get to pick what you like.
Thanks for giving the designers working on crowdSPRING an opportunity to help you.
And incidentally, I had always wanted to get a pilot's license, but am afraid of heights. Ground school was fun, though.

Crowdsourcing! What a concept.
I swear every time I connect with you Rod, I learn a new word!
See you in Oshkosh.
