The event has been highly frequented, media responded with diversified reporting and several thousand people interested in football and design have taken part at the voting of »Süddeutsche Zeitung« and »Bunte«. Also the design magazine »page« formed its professional opinion. In all of these three cases the design of achieved the largest acceptance. »It would have been too great« the »SZ-Magazin« apostrophized the dynamic symbols of Klaus Hesse and Christoph Zielke. »New, exciting and unmistakable – a graphic language for its own which would be imitated even by kids enthusiastically « »page« honoured the splotch pictograms of Hesse Design Düsseldorf.
