Same here, actually I prefer 2 because it respects the OFBiz scheme else, for
the font, my vote would have been 1
As I know what to (possibly) not do, I'll not do like Jacopo :p (thanks Jacopo
;))
Thanks Sharan and please thank Kenneth for us for his comprehensive work!

For the record, I prefer option 2.
I have casted my vote as well on the survey but there is a chance that I
have messed it up: I have selected Yes for option 2 but didn't select No
for option 1 and 3 (left them empty).

Hi Everyone
As mentioned I'd like to have a community vote for our new logo as the
discussion threads were becoming a little difficult to follow. Essentially
this vote is about selecting which design style you like the best that we
want to move ahead with. This means that if for example the majority choose
the existing logo then that's what we will try to refine and make into our
official logo.
_IMPORTANT NOTE_: The link to the vote is at the bottom of my email and
clearly labelled: “*Link to Logo Vote*:”
Kenneth has spent some time preparing some examples of each of the logos
printed in different situations to give us a better idea of what it could
look like. This means that whatever design we choose we still have options
to change the colour of the logo for printing.
I've selected the following 3 options for the vote (as there were some
ideas in the last round that no-one liked:-).
_*Option 1 : Our Existing Logo with Updated 'Registered' Symbol*_
I've included this option in the vote as we have a couple of people that
strongly support this one. One thing to be aware of is that the quality of
our existing logo is not very good, it is blurry and doesn't resize well so
Kenneth has mentioned that some cleanup work will need to done to try and
correct this.
It looks like this:

_*Option 2: Corrected OFBiz Name with New Feather *_
I've included this option in the vote as many people requested that we
correct the spelling of OFBiz in our logo to match our project name. Also
as Apache has rebranded their feather, this new feather was added to the
logo.
It looks like this:

_*Option 3: Power OFBiz*_
I've included this option with its original colour gradient as some people
liked the style, and others liked the style but not the colour. BTW I found
out that the circle was meant to represent a power button (ie for switching
on something on or off). One concern that was noted was that the gradient
would be difficult to print. Kenneth mentioned that he didn't think this
would be an issue for a professional printer.
Some people liked this option with a blue power button instead so if you
were one of those then please add in the comments box that you prefer the
power button to be blue.

*_Making Your Choice_*
The survey vote contains images of each of these logos so you will be able
to see them when you vote. Please vote for only one of the options. For
each option in the survey I've also added a comment box for any additional
feedback.
Please use the following link to vote:

I'll keep the survey open until the next Wednesday so hopefully that will
give everyone time to respond. Once complete I will summarise and post the
results to both user and dev lists.
As an additional note – whichever we choose, the ASF will pay for us to
get some stickers etc professionally printed so hopefully we will have some
available for Apachecon later in the year.
Anyway Happy Voting Everyone!
Thanks
Sharan
