Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] XWiki Logo Challenge, Round 2

Hello Community, The search for the XWiki.org logo isn't over yet... The second round of votes finished, with the following results: +9 for 4 +4 for 12 (I counted Thibaut's +1 for 12A as a +1 for 12) +1 for 15 +14 for 16 +1 for 19 Normally, 16 would be the winner, but since several key members of the community objected to it, I see three ways to proceed: 1. Declare 16 as the elected logo, but further improve it to soften the objections 2. Start a third round between improved version of 4 and 16 3. Slow down a bit, since there's no hard deadline to meet, and start all over, accepting new proposals I for one would go for option 1, if Vincent, Ludovic, Guillaume, Fabio agree.
