Death Match to Determine Most Classic Holiday Icon

Things slowing down at the office? Need something to do before the boss decides to finally tell you it’s OK to leave for the holidays? We’ve got you covered. San Franciso-based Heat has put together Head to Head Holiday Death Match, a competition between 120 holiday icons.

Visitors to the site are asked to vote for the icon they feel best embodies the holiday spirit. Click away for a while and then you can check out the leaderboard to see how the 120 icons stack up against one another.

So far, the agency itself is winning the battle with 79 percent. Which is totally unfair because, guys, your agency logo is not a classic holiday icon! But what agency can really keep itself out of its own work when it has complete control over it. And the “holiday card” is one of the few times an agency finds itself in that position.

But Heat isn’t being completely unfair, they’ve added a few other agencies in there for people to vote on. There’s Butler Shine Stern & Partners, Venebles Bell & Partners, Cutwater, AKQA, Publicis, Pereira O’Dell, Goodby and Eleven.
