The ruby logo contest winner has been announced
and it’s not me 
Part of the brief was the ability to print at small sizes and to work in black and white, it might be sour grapes coming through, but I don’t think the winner would hold up. The ruby masses don’t seem too pleased…
Update: actually I know why I lost my logo looks too much like a) superman’s b) a strawberry c) the bad guy from Tron (or is that a plus?)

Nice work! Feel free to say no, but could you possibly give me a copy of the Illustrator / whatever file you used for this? I’m looking at possibly redoing the Ruby Inside logo and I think this might be a great shape to work from. I’m not going to just release anything with telling you though and would give you credit in any case. I just want to have a play with it though as I think this is a great base to work from.
Superman aside, I prefer yours. It is simple, to the point, and would scale very well.
Dude, yours is definitely better.
no question. *so* much better. it’s not sour grapes; you just have your head screwed on straight.
Your logo is much better. They are wankers.
