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:

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.

My votes:
+0.2 for 7, it's simple and scalable, has a micro-logo.
+0.2 for 12 (A or E), it's friendly looking, has a micro-logo, and it
still resembles the previous logo, so has familiarity.
+0.2 for 15, it's simple and metaphoric, can be animated, has a
micro-logo; note that it will have to be edited, since there's no dash
in the name.
+0.4 for 16, it's simple, scales well, has a micro-logo which can be
animated or mash-up-ed.

Not sure what I like yet but I wanted to make a few notes.
12 & 13 bear a strong resemblance to an American telephone company.
http://wigab.com/images/site/2007-01/blog/44-Cingular_Dropped_Out.jpg
7 looks like barbed wire which isn't very inviting. I think only a slight change would
be necessary to stop that.
15 uses a hyphen which is not in the url, however I think the egg shaped background is
symbolic of the extendability of XWiki.
14 has an X which looks like it could be used in other places as an icon.
11 I like the hummingbird but the font seems mismatched.

* 7 has a simple and easy to recognized micro logo but colors are
really not very nice
* 8 is the one i prefer visually but it's maybe a bit too complex
* 12 E is very nice too and has better micro log but not sure it would
be nice on a dark backgroud
* nice work done for 15 but i find the logo too similar to Atlassian
logo (any basic human based logo would look too Atlassiannish to me i
think)

+0.5 for 4C
+0.5 for 5
I've found them very nice, colorful, simple to remember and also with good
micro-logo/poster potentiality.
4C is nice because the 4 pencils gives the idea of collaborative writing, and the
dematerialized part of the X recalls the idea of "digital" content.
5 is nice because the flock of squares recalls documents that can be reorganized in
different in different structures.
For both logos, I just have a little remark about the font used. It is, IMHO, too
"skinny" and gives me the impression that it's not properly antialiased
(like the fonts we used long time ago on our desktops). I understand that a bolder font
could compromise the result, but maybe another skinny font could be chosen... The W really
looks bad wrt antialiasing.
-Fabio
P.S.: Kudos to all the people who submitted a proposal... They are all very cool!

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] XWiki Logo Challenge
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.

I like:
8 -> I see "engineering" in the gears which relates to the platform
aspect. It's a bit too vertical though. I wonder what it could become
more horizontal
4A -> with different colors for the pencils
Great jobs by all participants.. All the logos have something nice !

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.

Hi,
After I read the votes and the comments I realized what keywords define
better the XWiki logo.
Based on these I could say that I changed my initial opinion about new logo
design.
So, the look of the new logo must be defined by:
"engineering"
"angular with little-to-no round elements"
"rectangle-based"
"simple to remember and also with good micro-logo/poster potentiality"
"collaborative writing"
"digital"
"dynamic"
"inviting"
"collaboration"
"feeling of joy"
"simple and scalable"
"familiarity"
"colorful"
"structuring documents"
All the proposals are great!
Based on the keywords gathered and my personal point of view, my votes go
for:
0.3 - 4A
0.2 - 4C
0.5 - 12E
(with adjustments for each of them)
Ciprian.

My favorite is 15.
* nice work done for 15 but i find the logo too similar to Atlassian
logo (any basic human based logo would look too
Atlassiannish to me i
think)
I strongly disagree that just because it represent a people, it is Atlassian
like, they do not hold the exclusivity of people logos.
Atlasian logo is like a weight-lifter that lift the world, very straight on
its foot. Nothing to do with a happy jumping man, using really curved shape
at all !
XWiki is about peoples sharing information and compare to most other logo,
15 is one that have the most interesting evocation.
Without dash, in red or another color, avoiding blue (even if I like it) and
probably using a more curved font to improve, if needed, the clear
difference it have with the Atlassian logo.
I would be curious to see what Vishal could propose with some more work.
19 would be my second choice, since it is curved, and even nice straight
logo like 7, 8 or 16 evoke to me some inflexibility or technicality, which
is frightening.
12 could be interesting as a continuation on the initial theme, but it would
be less distinctive with XWiki.com, probably a nice evolution for them not
for the open-source one.
1, 2 and 13 are not scaling. 17 is nice, but not scaling and evocation is
inappropriate. Appart for not being easy to scale, I feel 4 is not readable
for newcomers, using only 2 pencils, could probably helps there.
Many thanks to all designers anyway for their proposal and please do not
feel hurt by my remarks that I really hope to be constructive.

Hi XWikiers,
I like 12B and 12E.
I like 15, which to me is probably the most distinctive of all the logos
presented. I also like the fact that one can read a X, a W, a i and a K in
that little guy's shape :-) I think the "-" should be removed between the
"X" and "Wiki" and that the case should be switched from
"X-WIKI" to "XWiki"
but that's minor. In short, probably my favorite one.
I have an issue with 16 -> I showed it to a couple friends and they were
unable to read it as "XWiki". I kinda like it but I already know it's
supposed to mean "XWiki" but I'm afraid it's not readable enough for
other
people.
I also like 19 (the two-colors version, not the 3D shaped one). I also
happened to see a version of 19 with a font that made it look nicer -> JV,
do you think that version could be added to the page?

I agree that the way XWiki is written in 16 doesn't make it easy to be
read, but to me that isn't the logo. The logo IMO is what follows the
hard-to-read text. The text just shows how the logo was extracted. At
least that's how I see it.
Thanks,

FYI, the current vote results are available at

and it looks like there is no clear winner. At the moment it seems
that we'll have a second round with 4, 12, 15 and 16 (and maybe 19).
In the spreadsheet I converted non-numerical votes to what I felt was
the intent of the voter, please correct if my assumptions were wrong.
Only two days left for the first round of votes.

Only two days left for the first round of votes.

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 all,
It is very hard to choose (and by this all participants should understand that
all proposals are noteworthy). I also took into account following criteria: can
I draw it with a pencil on a paper in a single color and it would still be
recognized?
As a result my votes and comments go like this:
4 0.2 -- either B, or A with thicker pencils so that the X is more obvious
5 0.1 -- I like the way it looks but I don't see that much of a wiki reference
+ it's not drawable
12E 0.1 -- it's nice, close / far enough of the old logo, but it looses in
drawability and single color
16 0.2 (with a little more for B, maybe) -- there could be a color issue but the
shape would make it recognizable easily
20 0.2 -- I like the way it blends together and it is pretty recognizable
8 0.1 -- I like the wheels a lot, they're very much "app platform,
geek"-ish
6B 0.1 -- I like the idea but it really needs different colors and more polish,
right now it looks a bit flashy and raw
I also liked the looks of proposals 2, both A and B, but they're not very much
drawable and the X is not very obvious + I couldn't find why arrows would be
representative for xwiki...
Note that although 15 meets pretty well the criteria above, it still looks to me
too much around the atlassian logo (yeah, any human shape would do it)... + I'm
more fond of geometric shapes, I think...
Thanks,
Anca
