On ya Barge!!!!
I'll just head back to the Garage and plan for the ST-1. Although as it is also unlikely to have a logo, it may not ever get out of the garage.

I think we need to understand that the GOTM is not all about a logo. It's supposed to be a fun competition that encourages builders of varying degrees of expertise to gain insight and understanding of crafting a guitar. Most of us going into a music store will be looking at the headstock and what is written on it. It's how the manufacturer identifies that they built the product.Originally Posted by Rabbitz
Building your own guitar is about the thought, the planning and execution of your build. Putting something on the guitar that claims it as yours is that 'little something extra' that we all expect as we would when walking into a store to choose that one guitar that we will leave with. Some forum members have engraved the Truss Rod cover or the Neck plate. Some have put something on the pick guard for example. (Some have omitted Truss Rod covers and lost GOTM comps by doing so - Wokka / DB and Pest - Shutup!)
By not having anything on your guitar doesn't make it a bad guitar. Some of the judges simply feel that if you are making the extra effort to spend time thinking about adding something identifying the guitar as yours and then turning this thought process into action needs to be rewarded.
