In my opinion if Raul leaves the lettering of vanagon.com the same size then
the sticker does not meet one of the voting criteria. That was for the
vanagon.com to be visible and recognizable at a distance....

While I think Raul's design may be the most artistic entry, it does not have
visual impact from a distance... either for the lettering of vanagon.com or
the overall recognition. I've noticed over the years of driving (over the
speed limit) in the wide open spaces of the west and trying to anticipate if
oncoming traffic is the law that the first thing you can distinguish about
an object is color. That's why I think Debbie's sticker with the larger
lettering of vanagon.com and the bright blue color is more functional for
our purposes of identification.

If it were an art contest with no functional considerations I would have
voted for Raul's entry. But in considering the real purpose of
identification I decided to vote for Debbie's entry.

My 2 cents.
Bill
