I've reposted the results post for the Backed.io "Develop A Slogan" bounty.
You can view the post on Backed here.
https://www.backed.io/posts/post/27First off I'd like to thank everyone that participated in the contest for putting your energy and effort into making Backed an awesome place. We had some pretty awesome submissions, from the clever, to the funny.
https://www.backed.io/posts/post/2Because some of the submissions were so awesome we decided to expand the winners circle a little bit, naming a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place as well as several honorable mentions. The first place winner's slogan is what we'll adopt, but the others will also be getting tipped some bitcoin! So without further ado, here are the results from the Develop A Slogan For Backed contest.
Honorable Mentions
The following were awarded honorable mention. Each honorable mention will be tipped 0.02 BTC (rewards will be paid out after I finish writing this post).
"Content For Crypto" - nthused
"A Bit For Your Thoughts" - hand_book_car_door
"Immersive Discourse. Bitcoin Powered." - Control Freak
Best Candidate For A Nickname
This one was pretty funny, so we decided to give it its own category and award - Best Candidate For A Nickname
"The Bacon of News"
I know you can't make up your own nickname, that's just not how it works. However, it would be awesome to hear Backed occasionally referenced as The Bacon Of News. Can you imagine...
"Making news today is the growing online community and super-site 'Backed.io'. Backed, unofficially dubbed the bacon of news by its loyal followers, has officially surpassed the Red Cross as the most charitable group on Earth..."
Alright, so that might be a bit of a stretch, but it's still pretty awesome. For their submission kingelijah will receive .05 bitcoin.
Best Video Game Reference
I'm not gonna lie, I still love video games, and our winner for this category made reference to a classic franchise.
"It's dangerous to go alone, take bitcoin" - michaeladair
For their creativity and efforts michaeladair will receive .05 bitcoin.
Third Place
"Made For The People. Paid By The People." - Small
This slogan made reference to something we hope to aspire to here at Backed, a certain egalitarian quality that helps to form a better type of online community. For their submission Small will be rewarded with .05 bitcoin.
Second Place
"Crowdfunding Global Content." - mlucas
If you were to sum up what this site is in one sentence, I think this one would be it. It was very close between this one and our winner, I even called in some outside help for a second opinion. For their submission mlucas will be awarded 0.10 bitcoin.
First Place and your new Backed slogan
"Powered By You. Backed By Bitcoin." - Bitcoin Mafia
Its simple and clear yet manages to get across the purpose and feeling of Backed. "Powered By You. Backed By Bitcoin." will appear on the site starting with the next update. Your Develop A Slogan contest winner and this weeks reigning contest champion is none other than Bitcoin Mafia! For the winning submission Bitcoin Mafia will receive the 0.25 Bitcoin purse.
Congratulations to all our winners and runners up. There were a lot of other good submissions, and a lot that are deserving of bitcoin tips. Thanks again to everyone that participated and that has joined Backed in the last week. You are the earliest adopters of this site and some of the founding members of what we hope to build into a great online community.
Backed will be putting on a follow-on contest shortly but first I have to get the rewards out as well as make a few updates to the site.
