Choose Opera blog header contest winner

May 18, 2010 · by Espen André Øverdahl

It has been a month since we launched the Choose Opera blog-header contest, and today we will finally reveal the winner! We know many of you have been anxiously waiting for this day. We are very happy with the winning result, and we hope you are too.

With the help of Fredrik Andersson, a Web designer at Opera and the lead designer of My Opera since 2002, the following criteria were used to pick a winner:

The blog header is of high quality.
The design has a fresh look and feel.
Catches the essence of Choose Opera.

There were many great designs to choose from, but in the end, we agreed on a set of header entries created by a talented community member from Indonesia. Indonesia.

And the winner is nanobarker, who successfully made a set of unique blog headers for Choose Opera. His winning design is light, nice and fresh. The design also features Opera on different devices - just like in our vision.

We will soon update the blog header on Choose Opera. Stay tuned for our new look and feel.

We have uploaded the other Choose Opera header contest entries to a photo album. All of the these met the official contest requirements. We would personally like to thank everyone who participated! We hope you had a lot of fun with this contest.

Unfortunately, we can't use the Opera Ninja in any of our official graphics. It was copyrighted to someone outside of Opera.
