Haven't the faintest what that was all about, but I did it anyway

I'm guessing in one of them the ratio of the sizes of the two boxes is the Golden Ratio or something and we're supposed to find that more pleasing than the others?

D might be closest to the 'Golden Ratio' (it's been a while). E and F are the same except one of them is upside down. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Thank you all for doing the test, greatly appreciated!

ashatron · 20 Jan 2010 at 22:46

i cant believe how many people have participated, thank you!!!!
keep it up

Done. The only thing I can see happening is either A or F being most pleasing and then following a trend in either direction. Which, if it's the case, will lead to a nice bell curve.

Rule of thirds?

Hadn't heard of that before but I think you're right.

I found the half shape best then worked my way down

the glass is half full?

Really strange. I don't find any of them appealing. If I had to choose any, I'd pick the one that you could make look like a pint

I liked the one that looked like a battery. Exciting stuff.

I've never really liked the letter C its just an unfinished O and for that. Im out.

apeZ · 20 Jan 2010 at 23:35

A, B, F, C, D, E

Liked the first two, because it reminded me of a website for some reason i.e. header + body. Then I went for the last one because of the halves...symmetry...then just worked my way down.
