Kudos to all the competitors! :)
I like the digitized thing in 4C but I think it doesn't read "xwiki".
I think I'd give a +1 for the 4C concept with xwiki (including the X)
written next to the crayons with a bolder font (I find the one used in
17 and 18 nice). In the meantime:
+0.5 for 4C
+0.5 for 17
Thanks,
JV.

Hi Community,
The XWiki Logo proposal period is now closed, many thanks to everyone
who participated. It is now the time to vote the new logo amongst the 19
proposals available here:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge#HProposals
You can send your vote:
- on the mailing list, by replying to this e-mail
- on twitter, in the format: #xwikilogo <proposal_number>
Don't hesitate to nominate several proposals if you feel that they are
really close and you cannot decide for just one. Sometimes, a bunch of
fuzzy opinions can lead to a more accurate result.
IMPORTANT:
Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to
also ask yourself the following questions:
- Is it distinctive?
- Is it easy to remember and recognize?
- Is the design scalable? Could it (or parts of it) be successfully used
in a 16X16 icon? Would it look good on a very large poster?
- Can it be used (as it is, or adapted) on both light and dark backgrounds?
- What would it look like in black and white (not just grayscale)? It's
ok if some details are lost, but it needs to still look attractive and
keep the main features.
Motivating your vote also helps better understand what qualities a logo
evokes in people's minds.
Also note that the designs are not final, the selected proposal will be
further tweaked and perfected, so don't discard a logo just for minor flaws.
If several proposals come close to being selected, we could organize a
second round of voting.
Please send us your votes before March 31st.

Hi XWikiers!
It's time to inject new blood in XWiki.org. While discussing about
improving its look& feel we thought it would be a good time to create
a new logo for XWiki.org as it's an important part of a website
design.
We borrowed the current logo from XWiki.com some time ago and, in
order to keep the distinction between the company and the Open-Source
project clear, we think XWiki.org websites and projects need their own
logo.
As you may know, we love proposals, that's why we'd like to make the
logo design an open challenge, anyone interested can join and a vote
amongst the community will determine the winner. Even if the main
purpose of the challenge is to have fun, the person whose design gets
selected will receive XWiki goodies, including his logo printed on a
t-shirt obviously :) The designer of the selected logo will enter the
Hall Of Fame, and last but not least reward : the design will be
spread wide (XWiki Enterprise is more than 10000 downloads/month and
XWiki.org web site more than 50000 visits a month).
The challenge takes place there:
