Badges: And Then There Were Three

By Seamus Condron

And then there were three...

Last week, we launched a contest to design our the official One Book, One Twitter crest. We got some truly creative and inspiring entries. They were so impressive, in fact, that Neil Gaiman himself  has decided to get in on the fun. Out of the nearly thirty badges that were submitted, he's picked his three favorites. We'll have one final period of voting that will last for 48 hours. For this round of voting, we'll be using Reddit, the same tool that we used to choose American Gods as the first #1b1t selection. Go here, at Wired.com to vote.

As we mentioned before, the winning badge will become the official "badge" for One Book, One Twitter. It will appear on our Twitter and Facebook pages. But the fun doesn't stop there: we're working with Mr. Gaiman and Harper Collins to have 1b1t imagery appear in bookstores as well! We'll have more details on that as we hash things out.

Lastly, despite the fact there can only be one ultimate winner, we're so impressed with the effort put forth by the community, we want to get some ideas from everyone for things we could possibly do with the other images. One idea the board came up with was to try and partner with an online retailer such as Zazzle  or Cafe Press, to make the 1b1t badges available as t-shirts, with proceeds from sales going to a literacy-related charity yet to be determined. This may take some logistical effort than we realize right now, but it's just one idea. If you have others, we'd love to hear them in the comments.

Now back to the matter of choosing a badge. Below, you'll see each of the three badge finalists, but remember to go here to vote. Happy voting!

Here's the first one:
