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.
Even though I don't like the 16 logo too much this has been a community
vote so I'm ok to accept it.
Same for me, the community's choice is the community's choice whether I like
it or not :-)
Guillaume
So I'm ok for option 1.
Thanks

It's ok if some details are lost, but it needs to still look
attractive and keep the main features.
