Graphic designer Silas Pandori of Ithaca, NY’s Iron Design placed second in a national competition to design a new symbol that will be stamped on products to identify that they are made from bioplastics. There were 1500 entries into the competition and over 2.8 million public votes, which determined the top 200 designs. From the top 200 design submissions, a renowned panel of judges selected the top three finalists. Details on the competition are available here.

Silas Pandori is a native of Central New York and graduated from RIT with a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design.

Todd Edmonds, Iron Design’s Founder said, "We are very pleased to be honored by Cereplast for this international symbol search. Replacement of fossil-fuel based plastics with bio-plastics is a subject we strongly support. As we work with other clients in this field we know how important it is to quickly find alternatives to fossil fuels in all sectors of manufacturing. This competition demonstrated how many creative designers are passionate about this topic, and we are pleased to be chosen amongst so much extraordinary talent."
