Honorable Mention
These other entries were also quite impressive and worth mentioning….
AETUTS+ – “Logo Reveal” from Kenneth Robbe on Vimeo.
AE Tuts+ Logo Animation from Greg Balint on Vimeo.

If people would have voted I guess second place had won this contest easily…
first place is great but for me somehow too clean and sterile and I miss that special something like the charm the runner up vid has.
Could you guys at aetuts+ point out what your criteria have been? you know…make this a bit more transparent for us to be able to relate to your decision ? would be very cool!
Great work here. Like everyone here, I’d like to see tutorials on each. Congrats to the winner and I thought the number two entry was exceptional maybe because the humour added an extra connection to the audience because all were technically perfect.
I really like the last one by Kai Honeck. Props
Thank you, very much.
I’m considering doing a tutorial on it, if I get enough support.
I second that. I love the molecules concept. Very cool.
WOW! I have to say that the second place one and the very last honorable mention are my favorites! But everyone, well done! It all looks great!
All works are awesome..
I think there is difficult for the judge to select!
I like the second prize logo, its amazing, funny and cool… its worth for the first prize from my view…
Anyway cool competition nice creativity all over the competitors…
very nice the winner is excelent
yes.. Tutorials are definitely needed and appreciated!!! Nice job guys
I keep seeing posts concerned with how a box won especaiily when part of the criteria was to “think outside the box”. I have thought about this and think the crteria was nothing more than a mere typo and should have read as “make it a box”. Now I understand how it won, the others were not boxes
Your message made me laugh (:
–
Nothing against the winner but holy smokes that second video is waaay more fun and original.
I’m interested in knowing how did the team pick the winner ?!
The second place is definetly 1000 times better then the first.. the first is just so typical… i am dissapointed that he win and not the second!!
I love the 2nd placed even more
me too…it reminds me of the PIXAR studios logo…so cool!
ATTENTION!
For me some videos didn’t work!
“Sorry, this video cannot played on this side”
Thanks!
Super ! Nice nice nice ))
Please tutorials !
WHERE DID THE TUTORIAL GO THAT WAS POSTED THIS MORNING?????
Only one tutorial last week……and appears only one this week? There was a 2nd….WHERE DID IT GO????
It was a copy (or better to say, a rip-off) of another Tut from another site. So they deleted it, Billy.
It was a ripoff from one of FXPHD tutorials.. Fxphd contacted AETUTS and they removed it!
2nd place should have been first place I agree with all of u. First place looses a lot of its glamour with so much clutter and stuff going on plus the box doesnt really represent what every side of the tuts+ network is. I think the tuts+ ppl were a bit unfair and decided to go with one of their most active tutorial producer plus add the fact that he used the other tuts+ as leverage instead of sticking with the ae reveal

AETUTS+, almost everybody here agrees that 2nd place should have won this competition.
So please explain your criteria for picking your winner.
And who decided: a jury? – how many persons? – guys from toolfarm involved?
Make this transparent, please!
I’m sure a lot of people, especially the users that participated, would like to get at least some explanation
Would like to know that too
LOL…guys, the first entry was awesome. I think the second one was amazing too. The judges probably had a very hard time chosing between them…but that´s where the small details come in and decide…
Thank you Rafeal
The sad thing is the “2nd place winner” really wasn’t even judged as 2nd place as Aetuts said, “We will also select one entrant at random to win a 1 year Plus membership.”
So the 2nd place winner was actually just a random selection. Kinda sad seeing as how good it is. It deserves more attention than just a random draw out of a hat, I feel. But at least he won something for his efforts.
I vote for the Justin Brown! I think he deserves the first place.
I like the second .. funny one
WOW!
REALLY FREAKING AMAZING!
I want the tuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks you very much!!!!!!!
Good work, it’s possible the tutorial for all the video?????
Justin Brown is the best!
He-he-he…
Some nice slick videos submitted I’m really impressed!
I think the last one should of been first. Simple and amazing.
2nd one is way better than the first. at least for the fact that it has a story, is clever and funny. the first one is simply… dull. although technically superior.
Well personally i had this feeling that original logo to be used was emphasized so much and our winner has 1 of its our own…….never mind no hard feelings ……….just a personal thought……………..
2nd place was infact way too good and original……
anyways never mind m just a new kid on AE trying to learn from wrevr it might come……..tutorials from all of them r welcomed n m waitin…
mine unofficial entry for AETUTS+……. obviously looks gud wd music rather dn official…………

I thought some of the honorable mentions were better than the actual winning entry. Hmm. Just my opinion.
