I'll bite: I prefer Chris's latest. The weight of the lettering is more powerful. I think the "Apache" should not be so thin. The form used by Samer works better. I also think down-scaling will work better in this case. As far as the orb goes, Chris's could be a tad larger, but not by much. I prefer the orientation of the foreground bird to Kevin's, which has a more threatening feel in my subjective experience. - Dennis PS: Interesting that we've come around to a close variant of the current logo. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:robw...@apache.org] Sent: Monday, May 27, 2013 03:22 PM To: dev@openoffice.apache.org; market...@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Next steps for AOO 4.0 Logo Selection What we've done so far: 1) Called for logo submissions from the community 2) Many designers responded and we received 40 submissions. There was a lot of "cross-fertilization" of ideas, as designers saw what others had come up with, what worked, and borrowed ideas. 3) We did a survey of user responses to the 40 logo submissions. Over 5000 users offered their ratings and written comments. 4) Publish report and blog post on the results of the logo survey. 5) Invited the designers of the top-rated logos to read over the survey comments and refine their designs and submit an updated version. That's where we are now. The updated logos (three of them) are on the wiki now: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Stage+2+Logo+Refinement As you can see there is quite a bit of convergence on a design occurring. So what next? I'd like to propose some next steps. A) Let's discuss the three designs on the mailing list for the next week. The discussion might lead to further refinement. B) If at the end of the week there is consensus on a single design we'll go with that one. C) If at the end of the week there is not consensus on a single design, and the discussion is not leading us closer toward consensus, then we'll have a 72-hour vote of PMC members to pick the logo.
