Voting continues for the upcoming sweatshirt!
\n<\/p>\n
The results of the vote for the new Northeast logo are in, and wow was it ever close! In fact, it was so close between two of the concepts that we wanted to take it one step further to really find out what the region wants.<\/p>\n
We know that final designs don\u2019t always come out the way we imagined based on descriptions and sketches; in fact, they tend to come out way better! Or maybe that\u2019s just this time. We\u2019ve had our lovely graphic designer Terrence Cheung create two beautiful final designs options for each of the concepts, and now that you can really see what you\u2019re choosing between, we\u2019re having one last vote!<\/p>\n
The voting system will be very similar to the previous ranked voting system. I know that there was some confusion as to exactly how the voting system worked, so please take a moment to read this more in depth explanation:<\/p>\n
There are four designs. This means that you can choose up to four \u201cranks,\u201d starting with \u201c1st Choice,\u201d and proceeding to \u201c4th Choice.\u201d If you have strong feelings about fewer than four of the designs, you can start with \u201c1st Choice\u201d and when you run out of designs you wish to vote for, you can choose \u201cNo Vote\u201d for the rest.
\nWhen first tallying the votes, only your first choice will be assessed. However, if the design you chose as your first choice has the lowest number of votes, we will look instead at your second choice, and so on. So after each choice you make, the question you should ask yourself is: if the designs I\u2019ve chosen so far were not options, which of the remaining designs would I want to vote for?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s give some examples. Here are the four options:
\nDesign A Version 1
\nDesign A Version 2
\nDesign B Version 1
\nDesign B Version 2<\/p>\n
Example 1: Lindsey really likes Design A. The two versions are fairly similar, and she would be happy with either, although she prefers Version 1. She\u2019s not a huge fan of Design B, but if it were chosen she would definitely prefer Version 2. Here\u2019s how she should vote:
\n1st Choice: Design A Version 1
\n2nd Choice: Design A Version 2
\n3rd Choice: Design B Version 2
\n4th Choice: Design B Version 1<\/p>\n
Example 2: Joe loves Design B, and prefers Version 2. However, if Design A is chosen Joe will not buy any apparel, because he just can\u2019t stand that design. Here\u2019s how Joe should vote:
\n1st Choice: Design B Version 2
\n2nd Choice: Design B Version 1
\nNo Vote: Design A Version 1
\nNo Vote: Design A Version 2<\/p>\n
Example 3: Jamie likes Design A Version 1, and Design B Version 2, but thinks that the other versions totally ruin the concept, and really doesn\u2019t want either one. Here\u2019s how they should vote:
\n1st Choice: Design A Version 1
\n2nd Choice: Design B Version 2
\nNo Vote: Design A Version 2
\nNo Vote: Design B Version 1<\/p>\n
