It was a little twelve word copy com­pe­ti­tion. We thought we’d get 20 or 30 entries. But ended up with well over 200, a great result and a giant “thank you” to ever­yone for entering.

Once we com­pi­led the com­ments and emails, jud­ging began. Hugh put together his short list, Laura did hers, Jeff put in his five cents, even intern Darrick piped in.

And then, what star­ted as a bit of fun, tur­ned into a free-for-all. Kic­king, screa­ming, name calling. Ever­yone had their favo­rite, and no one agreed.

Tumult aside, we’ve deci­ded to change the rules. Since there were so many entries, it see­med fair that there will be more win­ners: Three to be exact. And, you guys get to decide the ran­king. Just watch the vids above, leave your com­ments below and we’ll com­pile and announce later this month.

Regard­less of who comes out on top, all fina­lists will get a fra­med, si­gned print of their choo­sing (con­di­tions apply), and more impor­tantly, the cre­dits which will be seen by millions of peo­ple. The win­ners lives will be trans­for­med and they will be sho­we­red with inter­net riches beyond their wil­dest dreams, etc., etc., etc.

To make voting easy, we had our crack team create ani­ma­tions with each of the fina­lists’ tag lines. Watch them and tell us your choice for the king of all explo­ding head tag lines!”.

Drum­roll please.….…

   The three are so simi­lar, it’s really split­ting hairs. But #1 is the most direct of the finalists.

   I vote for the last — social objects is the brand it seems you’ve been trying to build for a cou­ple of years now.
