And the winner is...

by "Godfrey Temple?" Heh.

Godfrey Temple!?

Well, congratulations to him or her, eh.

I don't entirely understand the winning design. Something ate the Jesus fish? I think the "jump the shark" fish hit the nail on the head.

OK, I'll bite: this was Spawn of Darwin Fish?

That logo deserves a T-Shirt. Seriously.

he he he... that's great. I'd love to be able to put that in my car too (especially since it would mean I have a car in the first place!).

However... what exactly does this have to do with darwin/evolution? that's more like an atheist fish/antichrist fish, not a darwin fish.

I don't think I really get the winner either... besides, those last couple designs were really kind of cool, although I'd think they were some sort of Klingon thing at first glance.

My favorite was the 'infidel inside' design

Cheers.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get it.

I would have gone for 71, Dinner Fish

Followed by 124, and then 92.

You might not believe this, but my high school Spanish teacher was named Darwin Fish. He was also an observant Mormon. And he had a glass eye. And also, he was narcoleptic. Swear to God.

I especially like crucifish redux, the science fiction fish, and the fish massage one.

Where is everyone finding the entries? I wanna see!

The Russell's Teapot entry was my favorite.

So y'all decided to depict one of the fish Jesus used to feed the five thousand, AFTER it had been bitten into?

Odd choice.

I second Russell's Teapot. I "borrowed" to use it as my MSN messenger pic.

Way to go, GT! Now if only we can get Affinity moving... ;-)

Mentis! JIHAAAAAD!

I do think the least crappy (the adjective, not the species) fish won. Contributors, keep your day jobs.

Now I'd love to put a photo of a glass-eyed narcoleptic Mormon Spanish teacher on my car. We need a photo of Mr. Darwin Fish. No caption. Make folks ask you who that guy is stuck to your car.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get it.

You're not. The winning fish was tasty enough, but a short time later I found I was hungry again.

And that makes you different from the rest of the world... how?

I want the Tiktaalik fish (#37)! I have a genuine Darwin fish (TM) now but I'd replace it with a Tiktaalik fish. ;-)

This IS my day job, thank you. *harumph* ;)

And thank you, minusRusty.
I'm still looking for a good image host (apart from deviantArt).

I know, says it all doesn't it?

I was quite suprised by the outcome. The popular favorite was the DNA fish.

My own submissions (Null fish and Fish food) seemed solid, but perhaps a bit dull. Fish food is the old fashioned fish...with a bite taken out of it. Fairly militant, that. Or at least I thought so.

Odd choice.

like most xians, you seem to think the fish symbol's source is in xianity.

but it ain't. it's a truly pagan symbol co-opted (like much of the rest of pagan religions) by xianity.

go look up "vesica pisces".

here's a sample:

now tell your friends.

arrgh. damn code. put the first two lines of my previous post as quoted from nottheroids

Congratulations to the winner and to all those who participated. Thanks to Inkling for hosting the competition. It was fun. I should have won, but what the hey!

Actually, I think the winning design is the best design - it is sharp, sweet and to the point.

Aww! I actually kinda feel for the dead, chomped-on fish. I think the winner should've been a wittier example.

I'm afraid I dont personally find it an improvement on the original Darwin fish (the design, not the creepy teacher) but I didnt think any of the other entries managed that either.

I know I'm biased, because my son's design did not make it, but I also don't see what the tasty fish has to do with evolution. I told my son specifically that the theme was to show evolution, and it'll be tough to explain this one to him.

My two favorites are the Wallace fish and the teapot fish. I can see how the teapot might be hard to engineer as a stick-on medallion, but as a bumper sticker it would be easy. CafePress, anyone?

I thought the Haggard fish was hilarious! The Mormon fishes were great too. But if I was choosing a "serious" winner it would have been the DNA fish.

I thought it was going to be the DNA fish too.

If it's any consolation, Ring of Fire wants to do that one as well.

C'mon, Chris, cafepress the Wallace fish for me. You know you want to, right? I'm sure you'd sell 10 or 15 of them...

Congratuations, Godfrey. I look forward to buying a Fish Food emblem.

Thanks to those of you who liked my Russell's Teapot design. (I decide later that I liked it better without the base. It looks more 'fishy' that way.) Carlie, I think I will do a Cafe Press site for it. Give me a few days, though, I'm dealing with a sick child right now.
