they win - compared with some very good custom work by these
clans??? What happened to originality? You judges have
no business being in the multi-media business. but beyond
that cheers to the winners.HBFT: Quite a number of emblems were modified in different ways
from custom graphics to clever adaptations of existing ones.
When all was said and done, all emblems were collected in one
place so that regular WG staff could vote on their ordered
favorites. The Top 8 placement was varied and from there
points were assigned and tallied. The results are as I posted
earlier. We hoped to create a contest that people could
enjoy and have fun with and my apologies if it has caused
more heartache than fun.

very custom graphics in this competition (including 2nd place) and
you get 1st for placing this free (1st page google):
on each
side of a World of Tanks logo and then a candy cane graphic to
cover the initials - and that is the being "original" WG said was
important???....nothing against you bud, seriously. I think
the irritation hits a 10 when in the rules they say to try not to
be "holiday/religious specific" and virtually the entire basis of
yours is a Christmas wreath. In fact, apart from the
Christmas ornaments, there is NOTHING WINTER about your entry.
Considering all the talk about cold and hibernation in the
opening remarks of this contest, nothing would distinguish your
clan's winner logo from a winter in Hawaii or the North Pole - not
to mention 1/2 the planet celebrates Christmas in summer.HBFT: on each side of a World of Tanks logo and then a

Christmas in summer. I can understand the confusion and it
was not my intention to cause such. A number of artists
presented emblems that focused on what I believe sparked images, or
feelings, of "Winter" to them. In this cited instance, the
holiday wreath with candy canes is an example of that. With
regards to potential religious focus, these are the rules as stated
in the OP: "Do not insult any religions, do not use any
religious symbols in a derogatory fashion, and do not create
emblems to preach or promote any specific religion." The
point of the section there and the flavor intro talking about
winter was to try to promote clean and respectful fun. Again
my apologies if it caused confusion.

small clans. Who have a virtually no chance to get gold for the
treasury in global map against the big ones. An opportunity to have
some gold to reward our active members.I know this was the more important thing to judge. But I can´t avoid to feel a little disappointed for the outcome because you don't consider originality, date / time posted, resourcefulness, wit, humor. (it is really hard to try to change something who has so little to vary) A little bittersweet feeling to me as a commander, who tried to coordinate the member's efforts to reach a higher place and reward.
- Glad to the 1st prize went to a small clan and a player with no premium vehicles, but only for that.
- I have to recognize that despite belonging to one of the clans-ranked top 50. And you having a couple of high tier premiums. By adaptation and execution, in my opinion AT_VELOCITY you are the moral winner of this contest.
I have my discrepancies in the positioning of the elect but I can not be more than subjective in that regard.
Maybe in the future a not so big difference between the prizes, can mend fences between the contestants. For example
2nd 9000 and a tier VII
3rd 8000 and a Tier VI and so...
Enjoy your hollydays!
HBFT: I completely agree that AT_VELOCITY did a fantastic job.
From what I have seen, they always do! 
(At least, I am consistently
impressed) That having been said, all submitted emblems were
put up to vote to the WG staff. The final point tallies
resulted in the results that have been posted. We noticed
that [-HTD-] put in a phenomenal effort to submit a variety of
entries and quite a number of [-HTD-] submissions made Top 8 for a
portion of the WG staff.
