Yes, the final design should be pleasing to the eyes, but it should also fit the budget, appease stakeholders, and last but not least, provide an effective solution to the problem being addressed.
Slapping together an unsolicited design like this is akin to throwing a successful dinner party and declaring yourself a better chef than Gordon Ramsey because one of your guest said your steak was better than the one he had at a restaurant in Vegas.
Sure, maybe you can do up 5-6 steaks at a time and average out a little bitter than some steakhouses, but you're not dealing with 100+ seats and a staff of 12 that evening.

maybe i'm missing your point, but isn't that exactly what those 3 designs we are voting on are? 3 unsolicited designs by 3M in a bid to get work making the reflective coating.
