The Branding Writing Contest: Winner Announcement!

Heyo, Designers! We are here with the winner announcement of the Branding Writing Contest by HackerNoon and LogoDesign.net! This is one of the mini-writing contests launched in April for our community. Because - mo sponsored tags, mo revenue sharing with our excellent writers.

We say it again and again - these contests are our favorite source of revenue stream because we get to share a part of our revenue with our community and recruit some fantastic stories, our writers get rewarded and encouraged for their superb content, and our sponsor connects directly with the tech community. That’s what branding is really about - connecting with real people, isn’t it?

Here’s a message from Zaheer Dodhia, CEO of LogoDesign.net, for the contest participants:

"Establishing a brand in today’s world is complex. Brands that succeed are ones that learn to adapt, evolve, and differentiate their uniqueness. I’m happy to see so many contributors who have demonstrated this in their thought leadership articles."

Let’s have a look at the top 10 stories:

🥁And the Winner Story Is 🥁

Scoring the highest number of votes and reads on HackerNoon in April, Embracing Uncertainty: Creating Resilient Products for a Changing World by @pakutin wins $1000!

Another example of fun design is ‘chaotic redesigns,’ a recent Twitter trend. This trend appears to be a useful thought exercise in considering people's emotions about modern software and how the concepts that popular products use can be taken to the point of absurdity.

Well-deserved win, @pakutin. We will contact you with the next steps to claim the reward.
