Which is your favourite make of soft pastels? (2010 Poll Results)

Which is your favourite brand of soft pastels? Below I detail what  are the results of my opinion poll which asked this question in a year long poll held in 2010.

Back in January of this year I had a couple of posts

2010 Poll: What is your favourite make of soft pastels?
on Pastels - Resources for Artists.

I can now tell you that a total of 361 people voted in the 2010 Poll: What is your favourite make of soft pastels? on Pastels - Resources for Artists.

You can see the results on the right.

The top five soft pastels favoured by those voting in the poll are as follows:
  1. Unison - 21.9%
  2. Schminke - 15.2%
  3. Sennelier - 13.3%
  4. Talens Rembrandt 9.4%
  5. Terry Ludwig 6.1%
(Links are to the manufacurers websites)

Just in case anybody thinks there is any sort of European bias going on here, both this blog and my pastel resources site get most of their vissitors from the USA!

This compares to the 2006-2009 poll results which indicated that the top five soft pastels are
  • Unison 19.6%
  • Sennelier 15.9%
  • Terry Ludwig 13.5%
  • Schminke 11.7%
  • Talens Rembrandt 8.2%
This means it's the samw top five - just a slightly different order.
  • Unison retains its top spot and has apparently increased its market share over other pastel brands (in terms of expressed preferences) through an increase from 19.6% to 21.9%.
  • Schminke have had the best result in terms of moving from #4 spot to the #2 spot 
  • Terry Ludwig appears to have lost the most ground falling from #3 to # 5 (13.5% to 6.1%)
