Summary of feedback (which I found made points): Samer - Lets go flat, its strong in all aspects brought up. Kay S. - Agrees with flat logo. Poll should be limited to few. Robin - Wordmarks need more attention (not logo specific), Vasilis logo is cool, downside too different. Robin made a similar refresh with/without feather. Scales his orb down, no indication for his logo preference (he did submit one more). Agrees technical aspect of print, but its not deciding factor (I agree but it should be satisfied). Dave F - Wordmark needs attention as well, likes flat logo. Dennis - Check with trademark@ Andrea - Likes orb, not a fan of flat (as its been used as a surrogate in the past due to limitations). Alexandro - alters Robins logo. Juergen - What about stand alone logo for buttons, stickers. Proposes we should poll. Kadal - "Because companies do it, we shouldn't?" - not sure that is convincing b/c they pay expert designers. Vasilis - Likes flat, but wordmark not so much. Milo - Likes flat, but workmark needs changing, TM placement too. Rob - Poll, but its not decision making. PMC decides in end. PMC likes data, more the better (ie. poll data). "Consider conferences and booth materials, CD prints, etc." Janl - Agrees poll for decision is bad idea, but poll for data is good. "Keep it similar to classic orb". "Doesn't have to be flat" but Janl doesn't state outright if flat is bad. Graham L - "Logo is not a computer icon". Print is a huge part of marketing. Print good -> electronically good, but not necessarily other way around.
I could set up a visual poll and share multiple time over facebook and social media. http://freeonlinesurveys.com/app/showpoll.asp?qid=244375&sid=xz7athj6ytcg4mb244375&new=True Respond with your favourite 3 logo please, or top 2 or 1. The logos that score the least will be eliminated: 1. Flattened Logo 2. Kevin G. Flat Feather. 3. third pick abstained.
