[xwiki-devs] XWiki logo around
Hi, I remember once there was a contest for new XWiki logo but due to elections fail (there would have been too many unsatisfied people if any of newly suggested logos had been approved) the process has gracefully ended (which, in my opinion, was a good decision) I also think that it would be worthless to conduct another competition/election amongst users because as the saying goes - tastes differ. The only thing users can contribute are their ideas (which might be accepted or might not which is fair) regarding shapes and symbols to use. Decision about visual design should be made within very very small circle of visual designers probably with one or two people involved in the project to chill down designers' burning imagination :) Having all of the above said, I would suggest to collect a set of shapes and symbols for new XWiki logo each supplied with description of underlying meaning. And then (having revised all of the comments in some of the former posts regarding what new logo should be: symmetric/asymmetric, complex/simple, round/firm) provide all that to a designer to draw several sketches. And then by internal vote (at maximum the development team members involved) choose the new logo. This thread is for storing all of the ideas on the new XWiki logo. At least that's what I (as a user) will be using it for may any ideas to come.

And a first portion of shapes. This one is the variation of the current XWiki logo I saw in the crystal glass (XWiki's all around us! ;) ) If you carefully look at the bottom of the glass ( http://n2.nabble.com/file/t229008/CIMG2841.jpg CIMG2841.jpg , http://n2.nabble.com/file/t229008/CIMG2842.jpg CIMG2842.jpg , http://n2.nabble.com/file/t229008/CIMG2844.jpg CIMG2844.jpg ) you will notice that it has 8 ends which can be thought of as an X (ex) - XWiki and a +(aiming cross) - meaning "in-sight". Plus the shape resembles a flower, yet with firm lines. http://n2.nabble.com/file/t229008/CIMG2843.jpg CIMG2843.jpg depicts how this looks from inside of the glass. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XWiki-logo-around-tp6074956p6075015.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Today found another logo that might have been brilliant for XWiki.org Unfortunately it's already taken ... http://www.ziki.com/en http://www.google.com.ua/search?q=ziki+logo&hl=uk&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XWiki-logo-around-tp6074956p7013315.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
