OK, I swear this is the last relevant article I'll post here about the overused swoosh element in logo design that has taken over this contest. Article is called "A Swoosh is a Dish Best Not Served": http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/a_swoosh_is_a_dish_best_not_served.php#.UfrKsbw-PqI

@mikz051 - actually I've withdrawn all my entries from this contest and don't have any plans to participate further, because I can see that the contest holder has very different tastes than I do. But as a member of the Hatchwise community, and out of fairness to the contest holder, I couldn't let all those swoosh logos go by without at least pointing out the well-documented drawbacks of swoosh-based logos. But don't worry, I'm pretty sure the contest holder is ignoring my comments.
