Multiple nominations are welcome. Entries will be reviewed for validity and approved for voting.

i vote for http://www.radioswissclassic.ch/en/playlist
its by far the best internet radio website i met. ever. simple, easy to understand, cool streaming options, light-weight, no cpu power needed, lots of in-depth information.
compare this to http://www.classicfm.co.uk/Default.asp : cluttered, flashy, unorderly, and the program’s full of verbal distractions. not even the commercials are adapted to classical music listeners.
- sorry, i let myself be carried away.
The February 2009 Design Spotlight is for logo design, specifically. Are you nominating those websites for logo design?
On behalf of Creative Component, I would like to thank all who voted. I would also like to thank Forest Ninja, my Mom and Al gore for creating the internet.

I was just perusing these when I thought of your contest thingy here for logos.

Of that set I nominate the Science Channel logo. Although I liked their old design too, I think the new one is good and brings it in line with the other discovery channel properties nicely.
Well since there don’t seem to be many entries, and I have a logo I really think is cute, I will nominate one as well.

I think this logo is cool because it’s cute looking and when you mouse over it, it changes (using a css “sprite” technique).
I think the logo for this site deserves a mention.
Not that it has anything to do with me helping design the logo or anything.
crap. Forgot to add the “form” bit:
