He entitled to receive cash of Rp 10 million, Apple iPad 16B 3G+Wi-Fi, trophy and certificate. The logo created by Tri is indeed unique, because the S symbol is symbolizing spoon and fork and said to be representing social network, conversation, opinion and join review. For favorite logo chosen by SendokGarpu visitors won by Nico Setiawan and he received cash of Rp 1 million, trophy, and certificate.

By the time this article is written, the new logo is yet to be used. Most probably the new logo implementation will be on the same time as the change of the website’s theme, because the new logo is dominated by red, while the present logo is dominated by black.
