Congratulations to Ramiro Diaz!
Mr. Diaz submitted an incredible logo & logo video which will be used throughout the Mises Academy. His work is truly top-notch and of the very highest quality. This was a very difficult decision for everyone involved as we received numerous submissions which were ingenious. Let no one say that Austrians aren’t creative! As the winner, Mr. Diaz will receive free enrollment to the Mises Academy course of his choice. Everyone at the Mises Institute agrees that we came out way ahead in this deal and we are all immensely grateful to Mr. Diaz for his dedication to the cause.
We would also like to extend our thanks and appreciation to everyone who submitted a logo. We know how much work everyone put into their designs and we are very grateful.

Holy shit, that’s cool.
Magnificent!
Congrats to the winner, definitely worth it!
That’s exquisite.
Also, it looks like comma splices are popular in the comments, I shall try to fit in.
What is this logo planned to be usedfor? Not to be a party pooper but it doesn’t look very reusable. It really can only work at the given size, on the given background, in the given color format. Good luck trying to get that to work on a T-Shirt or something.
Unfortunately Seattle’s right. Unless there’s a vector version, those drop shadows and gradients are going to cost a fortune. Also the fact that it looks like it’s always “laying down” is something I don’t really like. I’m a designer myself so this is why I’m so picky.
However it’s a brilliantly executed piece in which the author should be very proud of.
And all of those beautiful gradients are going to be mauled if the institute ever needs to use the logo in a color-restricted environment.
Great eye-candy, but from a utility perspective, it’s not going to be very problematic to implement. There’s a reason why 3D-animation is used all the time in video production but much less so in 2D design settings…
It’s not a total waste, however, as it will be wonderful to use as a video “intro” for all mises academy video media. But there really needs to be a more conventional 2D version for use in print, websites, etc.
“…as we received numerous submissions which were ingenious.”
Is the public going to be able to see them at any point?
I got chills! Dazzling design!
Stunning
Awesome design.
As one of the posters said on the Libertarian Party Facebook Page, he was sure the composer of the graphic didn’t intend it that way, but it’s perfect as a representation of Austrian economics…seemingly random elements come clattering down to the ground in chaotic motion, but like “The Invisible Hand of the Free Market”, the seemingly chaotic motion settles into an orderly pattern.

Cool video, but I don’t like the crooked shield on the logo. It just looks… off, out of balance. Why would you want your emblem to look like it’s been tipped over?
Great logo, and I love the video!
Absolutely wonderful work! To those of you protesting it’s usability, I think it’d be pretty easy to convert to a simple vector. And I believe it’s mainly for use on the actual Mises Academy website anyway, no mention of merchandise was made in the contest description.
It’s not easy to convert to a vector. It takes a long time. And they did mention the application of merch.
Thank you Mr Diaz. Long live Mises Academy.
