<p align="left" class="style4"> This is a tough decision. Based on the IRV program the winner is supposed to be Simeon Nasilowski, entry number 67. However, entry 67 clearly fails to meet one of the requirements:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left" class="style4">1. 1st choice: Entry number (variant), Submitter<br>
2. 2nd choice: Entry number (variant), Submitter<br>
3. 3rd choice: Entry number (variant), Submitter<br>
4. 4th choice: Entry number (variant), Submitter<br>
5. 5th choice: Entry number (variant), Submitter</p>
</blockquote> <p align="left" class="style4">***where variant, designated by a letter, is optional.</p>
<p align="left" class="style4">Example:</p>
<p align="left" class="style4"><em>The logo must be free of any copyright or other intellectual property claims. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left" class="style4">It was noted by Eric Niebler, and confirmed by others that entry 67 has a glaring similarity to the marketing imagery of Visual Studio. See: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6chhn">http://tinyurl.com/6chhn.</a> Hence, entry number 75 by Zoltan "cad" Juhasz will have to be the winner. Congratulations Zoltan! <br>
<br>
Zoltan "cad" Juhasz shall receive:</p>

<div align="left">a signed copy of the MPL book by David Abrahams and Aleksey Gurtovoy, C++ Template Metaprogramming: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques from Boost and Beyond ( <a href="http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321227255">http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321227255 </a>)</div>
</li>
</ul> <p align="left" class="style4">I shall now leave it up to the Boost Moderators to decide on whether the winning logo shall replace the current or not. The current consensus, based on recent discussions in the boost-dev list is to hold a second contest given everything we have learned so far. The contest was not as easy at it seemed at first and there's a lot we learned from it. Some people, like Christopher Diggins and Genandiy Rozental proposed some stricter and perhaps better formed guidelines and voting procedures. I shall take this into consideration if and when we hold a second contest. <br>
<br>
Some folks suggested that entry 67 might be salvagable. That might possible. It might also be possible to come up with a logo based on two or more of the top 10 entries, combining the best ideas into one. I am actually contemplating on having a shot at this. I invite others to do as well. <br>
<br>
Again, thanks to everyone who participated and those who helped out. Special thanks to Jason Hise and Vladimir Prus who independently wrote the IRV programs:</p>
