[xwiki-users] XWiki Logo Challenge, Round 2
Hello XWiki Community, We're still looking for the new XWiki.org logo. First of all, many thanks to all those who submitted their ideas ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge ). After the first round of votes (digest here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah6DqXzfHT2vdHV5Ty1LX3lKU3U5V3M4YmNF...), we chose 6 "popular" proposals for the second round: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 . The authors of these proposals were asked to do the following, if not already done for round 1: * try to integrate any constructive feedback that came with the votes (a digest of the feedback from the emails is available for each proposal on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 ) * polish the design (if they consider it necessary) * provide the requested variations for .org, enterprise and office * provide samples for light and dark background * provide a black&white version * provide a 16X16 icon containing the logo or a representative part of the logo * provide a nice "Powered by XWiki" button that goes with the logo * provide a mockup/screenshot with the logo used in the current skin, colibri For most of the finalist logos, the _final_ versions were already uploaded here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 . For those who were not updated, we will use the initial submissions for round 2 as well, and voters will have to use their imagination in case any of the required use cases is missing. VOTING: You can send your vote on the mailing list ([email protected] or [email protected]), in reply to this email. No twitter votes this time. Each voter can grant a whole +1 to only one of the 6 finalists ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2#HFinalistpropos... ). IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions: * Is it distinctive? Note that it should not resemble other logos, including the XWiki SAS/xwiki.com logo. * Is it easy to remember and recognize? * Does it blend in smoothly with the Colibri skin? With the new XWiki.org skin? Note that adjustments to the skin is possible, in order to better integrate with the logo. * 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.

+1 for the 16B I think the straight W is more easy to read, and it is very distinctive. Maxime

Hi everybody! I would like to regain access to this list by voting here. Thanks for the chance. With a brand new hat, but still Ricardo! ***** +1 for number 19 ***** Even though I would encourage the author/s to develop and show us integration with Colibri, mockups and so on, so forth! I am not a graphic designer, but asymmetry or apparent lack of internal structure is not handicap for me. XWiki is intended to help to evolve contents with an apparent lack of structure to structured, even semantically structured, ones! Greetings, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBiotic. Life Sciences, Data Modeling and Information Management Systems
+1 for the 12E, I like the softness of the shape -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/XWiki-Logo-Challenge-Round-2-tp4872063p4878396.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Ah, it could just be due to the "printscreen of a quick SVG". The "powered by" buttons were unreadable to the point where if I didn't know what their intent was, I wouldn't know what they were other than coloured blobs with some white writing. I presume the final versions would be large enough to be legible. "Zooming in" on the screenshots show them up better, and while I like the full "XWiki" logo, I find the Icon and Button "X" part to be a little thin/weak and maybe spread out. I don't know how else to describe it. What I really like about 16B is the different logos for .org, Enterprise, and Office. Trevor On Fri, 09 Apr 2010 16:31:34 +0200 Sergiu Dumitriu wrote:

Since the original 15 were my preferred but the review has nothing to do with the original one and is now closer to existing logos, since my second choice 19 has not been review and integrated and that 12E is definitively nice but too close to the original logo, the match is between 4A and 16B for me. Both have been improved well, especially 4A, and both could do, except that I do not found the small icon and the "powered by" one really nice or readable. Since I had to choose only one, I have finally preferred the technicality of 16B slanted and its different versions for each products, over the color pencils of 4A, that evoke for me, drawings, children and games, ideas being not the initial purpose of XWiki :-) +1 for 16B Great jobs guys for these proposals, many thanks, Denis On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 19:33, Trevor Russ <[email protected]> wrote:

Hello XWiki Community,
We're still looking for the new XWiki.org logo. First of all, many thanks to all those who submitted their ideas ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge ). After the first round of votes (digest here:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah6DqXzfHT2vdHV5Ty1LX3lKU3U5V3M4YmNF... ),
we chose 6 "popular" proposals for the second round: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 .
The authors of these proposals were asked to do the following, if not already done for round 1: * try to integrate any constructive feedback that came with the votes (a digest of the feedback from the emails is available for each proposal on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 ) * polish the design (if they consider it necessary) * provide the requested variations for .org, enterprise and office * provide samples for light and dark background * provide a black&white version * provide a 16X16 icon containing the logo or a representative part of the logo * provide a nice "Powered by XWiki" button that goes with the logo * provide a mockup/screenshot with the logo used in the current skin, colibri
For most of the finalist logos, the _final_ versions were already uploaded here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 . For those who were not updated, we will use the initial submissions for round 2 as well, and voters will have to use their imagination in case any of the required use cases is missing.
VOTING:
You can send your vote on the mailing list ([email protected] or [email protected]), in reply to this email. No twitter votes this time.
Each voter can grant a whole +1 to only one of the 6 finalists (
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2#HFinalistpropos...
).
IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions:
* Is it distinctive? Note that it should not resemble other logos, including the XWiki SAS/xwiki.com logo. * Is it easy to remember and recognize? * Does it blend in smoothly with the Colibri skin? With the new XWiki.org skin? Note that adjustments to the skin is possible, in order to better integrate with the logo. * 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.

Thanks,
I should have mentioned that of the logos the one I like less is 16 since I can't even read it and it's far from being as polished as the others IMO. Thanks -Vincent On Apr 11, 2010, at 9:20 PM, Vincent Massol wrote:

Hello XWiki Community,
We're still looking for the new XWiki.org logo. First of all, many thanks to all those who submitted their ideas ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge ). After the first round of votes (digest here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah6DqXzfHT2vdHV5Ty1LX3lKU3U5V3M4YmNF...), we chose 6 "popular" proposals for the second round: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 .
The authors of these proposals were asked to do the following, if not already done for round 1: * try to integrate any constructive feedback that came with the votes (a digest of the feedback from the emails is available for each proposal on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 ) * polish the design (if they consider it necessary) * provide the requested variations for .org, enterprise and office * provide samples for light and dark background * provide a black&white version * provide a 16X16 icon containing the logo or a representative part of the logo * provide a nice "Powered by XWiki" button that goes with the logo * provide a mockup/screenshot with the logo used in the current skin, colibri
For most of the finalist logos, the _final_ versions were already uploaded here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 . For those who were not updated, we will use the initial submissions for round 2 as well, and voters will have to use their imagination in case any of the required use cases is missing.
VOTING:
You can send your vote on the mailing list ([email protected] or [email protected]), in reply to this email. No twitter votes this time.
Each voter can grant a whole +1 to only one of the 6 finalists ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2#HFinalistpropos... ).
IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions:
* Is it distinctive? Note that it should not resemble other logos, including the XWiki SAS/xwiki.com logo. * Is it easy to remember and recognize? * Does it blend in smoothly with the Colibri skin? With the new XWiki.org skin? Note that adjustments to the skin is possible, in order to better integrate with the logo. * 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.

Maybe it would be good for people to propose improved versions, but it will be hard to improve readability while also maintaining the style/logo idea. One option would be to keep just the X from the logo, and use a normal font for writing the actual product name (something like 4 does with the pencils).

I share your opinion... Besides the fact that I don't like it because it's miles away from the "web 2.0" style that I think we tend to. It would be good if our style was "geeky-oldschool" but I don't think it's the case. But this is a personal and questionable opinion. The fact is that me too, at a first glance, I can't read XWiki in it and I have to make an effort in order to "see" XWiki written in that logo. My 2 cents, Fabio
Hi, I think version 16 is the ONLY original logo we have for this challenge. It is abstract enough to make a great brand and be reused for variations. It is simple, straightforward and easily to remember (not to reproduce, to remember that you've seen it before). It's look IMO is perfect for a technical application and community. It's smart, creative and I LOVE IT :) Go version 16 :) Caty On Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 12:41, Fabio Mancinelli <[email protected]>wrote:

Btw, logos are graphical marks and is not mandatory that they are logotypes (wordmarks). This means you don't necessarily need to read the name of the product from the start (look at apple, volkswagen, audi, sun, etc). After you know it's XWiki, you can easily see what proposal 16 states. The logo should be the identity and feeling of that product. Having a smart logo would be nice for us, don't you think?

I don't agree with this reasoning. Either you use a logo that doesn't mean anything (ie it's a symbol, an image, etc) or you have a logo with letters and in that case it must be readable. Even though I know it's about XWiki, I can't even read it... I don't find the logo that smart. A smart logo is a logo that is simple, polished and that be read easily. Cleverness is not usually that good in branding since a good portion of people won't understand the clever thing. Thanks -Vincent

I've been analyzing the proposed logos, gathered feedback, read logo design articles, and here's what I think so far. A logo should be rather abstract than metaphoric. Trying to say too much in a logo makes a bad logo. Most famous examples are very simple, and say nothing about what the brand does: Adidas, Nike, MasterCard, The North Face, FedEx, AT&T, Sun, Oracle... Yet, everybody recognizes the Nike logo. There are three main characteristics of a logo: memorability, simplicity, cleverness. There's a tight connection between memorability and simplicity. The cleverness can sometimes harm the other two, if pushed too far. Having metaphors and product description embedded in a logo most of the times thrashes the logo. So, IMO this adds negative points to logos 4 and 15. Another problem with metaphors is that the metaphor might not be the perfect one, and even if it is initially, the brand evolves in time, so the metaphor would actually harm even more the logo and the brand. It was interesting to see two opposite opinions expressed about the proposed logos: Too unstructured, thus not really suited for XWiki, and Too regular/rigid, thus not appealing enough. This is an example of the two different types of people, more logical/technical and more emotional/artistic people. It's a classic psychological test, showing two drawings, one made of lines and one made of curves, and asking which one is better. When the left part of the brain is dominant, the straight lines are more appealing, and vice-versa. It's impossible to make either a straight or a wobbly logo that would satisfy everybody, so this is not a valid argument for choosing a logo on its own. Still, this becomes relevant when thinking about what is the main intended audience for the XWiki logo: technical or non-technical persons? To answer this, we need to answer another question: where will the logo be seen? IMO, mostly on xwiki.org. Actual XE installations will probably have a custom logo, one representing the institution using XWiki. What will be seen on these custom sites is the Powered By button, so this is a good reason to make it visible and recognizable. So, who comes on xwiki.org? Technical or non-technical persons? I'd say mostly technical persons, developers looking for the dev guide, admins looking for the admin guide, IT procurement staff looking for a wiki. Looking on the (users) mailing list and the FAQs, most users ask non-user questions, meaning that I've rarely seen questions like "how to insert a table" or "how do I change my password". Thus, I think that a more rigid, abstract logo is better for xwiki.org and its intended audience, adding negative points to 12, 15 and 19. If we want XWiki to look like a valid option for using in an enterprise, the logo should be technical, straight, structured. And IMO 16 is the most structured proposal. Now, what do I think about each logo: 4 is metaphoric: nice collaboration, writing documents together, appealing colors. Unfortunately, this is not the right metaphor. The colored pencils hint more at a drawing application than at an application development framework. And while the colors are nice, the logo doesn't look serious enough for an enterprise application. But I think that this would be a good starting point for a logo for the WYSIWYG editor, once it's completely independent to deserve its own logo, and has realtime capabilities. 12 is a bit familiar, abstract, and curvy enough to be a 2.0 logo. The feedback I got is that this is the best "friendly" proposal, but it doesn't inspire credibility. 15 is too metaphoric, and the revised version actually lost some of the most appreciated features in the first round: happiness, X + W. Now it's just an anthropomorphic shape, which is so common in logos, and which doesn't help differentiate XWiki from other brands. One person said that it looks like a good mascot for a sports event, but not for an enterprise application. 16 is indeed the most abstract and individualistic logo. I like the straight shape because it has less angles, thus more structure. I don't think that it should be readable, so I don't agree that this is an eliminatory criterion. All the other logos except 4 have this problem, since the shape for X does not always suggest that it's part of the name, as in XWiki, so more like "the wiki with an X-shaped logo". Even the .com logo has this problem, since it really causes confusion with Xwiki (lowercase w, since X is the only one bolder), or X-wiki (since the dash between X and W can be read as a real dash). Plus, unlike real brands that are seen in stores, our logo will mostly be seen on the web, right under the URL. It's not like people see it somewhere on the street and wonder what it means, without any means of finding out. If it's in a web page, it has a link nearby, and links still use real letters. 19 has only one strong point: the font used for WIKI. The shape used for the X is really not memorable or unique. Having that X as our logo is not a good idea, since it looks like one of the many paint-splash stickers that were once popular. My final vote, +1 for 16.

Hello XWiki Community,
We're still looking for the new XWiki.org logo. First of all, many thanks to all those who submitted their ideas ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge ). After the first round of votes (digest here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah6DqXzfHT2vdHV5Ty1LX3lKU3U5V3M4YmNF...),
we chose 6 "popular" proposals for the second round: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 .
The authors of these proposals were asked to do the following, if not already done for round 1: * try to integrate any constructive feedback that came with the votes (a digest of the feedback from the emails is available for each proposal on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 ) * polish the design (if they consider it necessary) * provide the requested variations for .org, enterprise and office * provide samples for light and dark background * provide a black&white version * provide a 16X16 icon containing the logo or a representative part of the logo * provide a nice "Powered by XWiki" button that goes with the logo * provide a mockup/screenshot with the logo used in the current skin, colibri
For most of the finalist logos, the _final_ versions were already uploaded here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 . For those who were not updated, we will use the initial submissions for round 2 as well, and voters will have to use their imagination in case any of the required use cases is missing.
VOTING:
You can send your vote on the mailing list ([email protected] or [email protected]), in reply to this email. No twitter votes this time.
Each voter can grant a whole +1 to only one of the 6 finalists ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2#HFinalistpropos... ).
IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions:
* Is it distinctive? Note that it should not resemble other logos, including the XWiki SAS/xwiki.com logo. * Is it easy to remember and recognize? * Does it blend in smoothly with the Colibri skin? With the new XWiki.org skin? Note that adjustments to the skin is possible, in order to better integrate with the logo. * 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.

IMO it's a bit too late to give -1 for a logo that passed the first round. Is it less readable now? 16 was voted by 11 community members (including myself) in the first round. Do we count less than "people from outside the project"? If we want a community-chosen logo then we should let the community choose. If we want a logo that is good for marketing then we should find a branding company to do it for us. Thanks, Marius

I completely agree with Marius, I would also add that since this is a Community project, it should have a Community logo ! Since 16 has receive many votes now, and that I also agree with Vincent, Ludovic and others, it is not readable enough, I have made an alternative design: W-angle. My feeling was that the W is difficult to read, so my proposal try to keep the style and reworked it. There is also small changes in spacing, and a different powered by button. Here is almost all that was requested in a proposal with this variable: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Community/LogoChallengeRound2/16%2Dw... I really hope that if the logo 16 is chosen, my proposal could help in mitigating the disappointment of those that really find it unacceptable. WDYT ?

+1 for 4A
and I'm at this point very -1 on 16 because of the W which has a missing arm.. I can't read XWiki in it..
I'd like to react about this: at this stage I share Ludovic's feeling. I had people from outside the project look at the 16 logo and they weren't able to read "XWiki" in it. I'm afraid that while stylistically interesting, this logo is too unreadable for mainstream use - unless we don't expect anyone to understand the XWiki logo that is.
I'm feeling pretty close to giving it a -1 too if its readability isn't improved. I know I might be going against the flow here but we're about to make a significant choice here and I don't want us to regret it.
Any thoughts?

No but if you check none of us voted for it and there was no rule for giving -1 (I would have given it otherwise since I didn't like it in the first round. That said I was pretty sure nobody would vote for it when I saw it. I was wrong it seems ;)). BTW the problem of readability was raised even in the first round but not much was done about it (or I didn't see it).
16 was voted by 11 community members (including myself) in the first round. Do we count less than "people from outside the project"?

errr? We *definitely* want a logo that is good for marketing! That's the main point (the only point?) of having a logo. When users log into some website and see this logo we want them to know the site is using XWiki (if they can't read it, they won't even be able to google it if they like it and want to find more about this project). It seems you're opposing marketing and community. I don't know why. This is all about marketing. The whole xwiki.org is about marketing (i.e. make people want to use XWiki). Otherwise we'd just publish the sources with no documentation at all. Thanks -Vincent PS: I'm not saying that we should revote or remove that logo. I'm just giving a strong opinion that the logo is unreadable and is going to cause a lot of confusion. I would like to see that fixed if that logo is selected by the vote.
Thanks, Marius

Readability is better, but for me upper right backgoing "serif" for w seems unnecessary. In place of (ascii art): \// \ /\\/\/iki only in this way: \/ /\\/\/iki Then X can be bigger and w can be aligned with k. What do you think? Valdis

I don't particularly like the recent alternative suggestions, the "w" is either getting unwieldy or too wide, losing its original impact, and I'd drop my +1 for it in those cases. To add my "hack", what if: a) the "X" was made bigger and put "behind" the "Wiki" part b) the "w" was a full W (straighter, not spread out) c) the "k" was a full k (add the vertical line) ... then it might be more readable while still retaining a logo quality? I didn't vote for 4 because I agree with some others: a) the pencils do imply drawing more than collaborative writing; b) it seems to be lacking that "professional" logo quality. But maybe we're forcing something that shouldn't be forced. Could it be that *none* of the proposed logos fit what you're after, and we're just choosing from the best options presented?

I'm looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X and http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/09/index.html . There are some X representations which could have been the starting point for the XWiki logo (e.g. the Egyptian hieroglyph "column", Phoenician S, Greek Xi, Braille or Morse code for X). I would have liked to see a logo proposal consisting of an easy to remember symbol that is not visually related to the latin X, even if it didn't had a lot of meaning. Thanks, Marius

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.

Hello XWiki Community,
We're still looking for the new XWiki.org logo. First of all, many thanks to all those who submitted their ideas ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge ). After the first round of votes (digest here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah6DqXzfHT2vdHV5Ty1LX3lKU3U5V3M4YmNF...),
we chose 6 "popular" proposals for the second round: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 .
The authors of these proposals were asked to do the following, if not already done for round 1: * try to integrate any constructive feedback that came with the votes (a digest of the feedback from the emails is available for each proposal on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 ) * polish the design (if they consider it necessary) * provide the requested variations for .org, enterprise and office * provide samples for light and dark background * provide a black&white version * provide a 16X16 icon containing the logo or a representative part of the logo * provide a nice "Powered by XWiki" button that goes with the logo * provide a mockup/screenshot with the logo used in the current skin, colibri
For most of the finalist logos, the _final_ versions were already uploaded here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 . For those who were not updated, we will use the initial submissions for round 2 as well, and voters will have to use their imagination in case any of the required use cases is missing.
VOTING:

Each voter can grant a whole +1 to only one of the 6 finalists ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2#HFinalistpropos... ).
IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions:
* Is it distinctive? Note that it should not resemble other logos, including the XWiki SAS/xwiki.com logo. * Is it easy to remember and recognize? * Does it blend in smoothly with the Colibri skin? With the new XWiki.org skin? Note that adjustments to the skin is possible, in order to better integrate with the logo. * 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)?

Hello XWiki Community,
We're still looking for the new XWiki.org logo. First of all, many thanks to all those who submitted their ideas ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge ). After the first round of votes (digest here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah6DqXzfHT2vdHV5Ty1LX3lKU3U5V3M4YmNF...),
we chose 6 "popular" proposals for the second round: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 .
The authors of these proposals were asked to do the following, if not already done for round 1: * try to integrate any constructive feedback that came with the votes (a digest of the feedback from the emails is available for each proposal on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 ) * polish the design (if they consider it necessary) * provide the requested variations for .org, enterprise and office * provide samples for light and dark background * provide a black&white version * provide a 16X16 icon containing the logo or a representative part of the logo * provide a nice "Powered by XWiki" button that goes with the logo * provide a mockup/screenshot with the logo used in the current skin, colibri
For most of the finalist logos, the _final_ versions were already uploaded here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2 . For those who were not updated, we will use the initial submissions for round 2 as well, and voters will have to use their imagination in case any of the required use cases is missing.
VOTING:
You can send your vote on the mailing list ([email protected] or [email protected]), in reply to this email. No twitter votes this time.
Each voter can grant a whole +1 to only one of the 6 finalists ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallengeRound2#HFinalistpropos... ).
IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions:
* Is it distinctive? Note that it should not resemble other logos, including the XWiki SAS/xwiki.com logo. * Is it easy to remember and recognize? * Does it blend in smoothly with the Colibri skin? With the new XWiki.org skin? Note that adjustments to the skin is possible, in order to better integrate with the logo. * 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.
TIMELINE:
08/Apr/10 : Beginning of second round of votes on [email protected], [email protected] 11/Apr/10 : End of votes

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 -Vincent

We should believe in evolution, not in intelligent design ;-) For me topology (i.e. shapes of character) looks good, though I'd like right part for w parallel to slope parts of "X" and "k", with "iki" size adjusted accordingly (probably they need to be smaller then). Wouldn't it be better? Valdis
