[xwiki-users] XWiki Logo Challenge
Hi XWikiers! It's time to inject new blood in XWiki.org. While discussing about improving its look & feel we thought it would be a good time to create a new logo for XWiki.org as it's an important part of a website design. We borrowed the current logo from XWiki.com some time ago and, in order to keep the distinction between the company and the Open-Source project clear, we think XWiki.org websites and projects need their own logo. As you may know, we love proposals, that's why we'd like to make the logo design an open challenge, anyone interested can join and a vote amongst the community will determine the winner. Even if the main purpose of the challenge is to have fun, the person whose design gets selected will receive XWiki goodies, including his logo printed on a t-shirt obviously :) The designer of the selected logo will enter the Hall Of Fame, and last but not least reward : the design will be spread wide (XWiki Enterprise is more than 10000 downloads/month and XWiki.org web site more than 50000 visits a month). The challenge takes place there: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/LogoChallenge Thanks, JV.
Don't forget about the XWiki Logo challenge! We're welcoming proposals for the xwiki.org logo from everybody, until Thursday, March 25th. http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge On 03/01/2010 05:57 PM, Jean-Vincent Drean wrote:

Hi Community, The XWiki Logo proposal period is now closed, many thanks to everyone who participated. It is now the time to vote the new logo amongst the 19 proposals available here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge#HProposals You can send your vote: - on the mailing list, by replying to this e-mail - on twitter, in the format: #xwikilogo <proposal_number> Don't hesitate to nominate several proposals if you feel that they are really close and you cannot decide for just one. Sometimes, a bunch of fuzzy opinions can lead to a more accurate result. IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions: - Is it distinctive? - Is it easy to remember and recognize? - 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. Motivating your vote also helps better understand what qualities a logo evokes in people's minds. Also note that the designs are not final, the selected proposal will be further tweaked and perfected, so don't discard a logo just for minor flaws. If several proposals come close to being selected, we could organize a second round of voting. Please send us your votes before March 31st. On 03/01/2010 05:57 PM, Jean-Vincent Drean wrote:

My votes: +0.2 for 7, it's simple and scalable, has a micro-logo. +0.2 for 12 (A or E), it's friendly looking, has a micro-logo, and it still resembles the previous logo, so has familiarity. +0.2 for 15, it's simple and metaphoric, can be animated, has a micro-logo; note that it will have to be edited, since there's no dash in the name. +0.4 for 16, it's simple, scales well, has a micro-logo which can be animated or mash-up-ed.

Not sure what I like yet but I wanted to make a few notes. 12 & 13 bear a strong resemblance to an American telephone company. http://wigab.com/images/site/2007-01/blog/44-Cingular_Dropped_Out.jpg 7 looks like barbed wire which isn't very inviting. I think only a slight change would be necessary to stop that. 15 uses a hyphen which is not in the url, however I think the egg shaped background is symbolic of the extendability of XWiki. 14 has an X which looks like it could be used in other places as an icon. 11 I like the hummingbird but the font seems mismatched. Caleb
+0.2 7 - good concept, but would suggest colour changes (it's a little unexciting compared to the others) +0.1 8 - I like it visually, but am trying to see the relevance of the gears +0.1 20 is intriguing, but the shorthand versions are a little cryptic +0.6 12D or E- lively, fun, and linked to the old one To those who contributed: very nice work!

* 7 has a simple and easy to recognized micro logo but colors are really not very nice * 8 is the one i prefer visually but it's maybe a bit too complex * 12 E is very nice too and has better micro log but not sure it would be nice on a dark backgroud * nice work done for 15 but i find the logo too similar to Atlassian logo (any basic human based logo would look too Atlassiannish to me i think) On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 12:17, Sergiu Dumitriu <sergiu@xwiki.com> wrote:

+0.5 for 4C +0.5 for 5 I've found them very nice, colorful, simple to remember and also with good micro-logo/poster potentiality. 4C is nice because the 4 pencils gives the idea of collaborative writing, and the dematerialized part of the X recalls the idea of "digital" content. 5 is nice because the flock of squares recalls documents that can be reorganized in different in different structures. For both logos, I just have a little remark about the font used. It is, IMHO, too "skinny" and gives me the impression that it's not properly antialiased (like the fonts we used long time ago on our desktops). I understand that a bolder font could compromise the result, but maybe another skinny font could be chosen... The W really looks bad wrt antialiasing. -Fabio P.S.: Kudos to all the people who submitted a proposal... They are all very cool!
I'm only 2-weeks-old XWiki user and I'm once more impressed with it. This time it's the amount of people having contributed to new logo design elections. My votes are * +1.0 for Proposal 16.A (nice idea of combining the X and the font for E and O :) ) * But as well I liked Proposal 11 * And as well I like the current XWiki logo :) Some thoughts aloud * When thinking of XWiki I see structuring documents, bringing order and simplicity of display to the knowledge. I see rectangle-based (which is as well a man's invention of structure) UI (by default currently it's colibri theme), simple and light-weight. So to make XWiki logo organically co-exist with XWiki's purpose an design it should be: simple and firm (angular with little-to-no round elements). (BTW, current XWiki logo satisfies this criteria.) That's the reason for my choice. Just interesting to notice * Proposal 2. The idea to use swastika and 4 colours of elements of nature is quite common (like Microsoft Windows and now Google do. accidentally?). So it might help project from esoteric point of view ;). One note though is that swastika in suggested template rotates counter-clock-wise (the one Nazi have been using) which symbolises chaos and destruction. So need to turn it to the opposite (again like MS and Google do) to be able to use it. And of-course some nit-picking remarks for the competes to my choice :) * Proposal 5. I think it's too heavy in details * Proposal 12,13,19. Contains asymmetric and amorphous (which means no internal structure) letter X (the cornerstone letter in logo) * In Proposal 15. Really big work has been done and interesting ideas behind symbols. Just noticed that applying the "firm" pattern will result in http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/ Jira / http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/ Confluence logo. PS: It's always easier to find flaws than creating something on once own. So please accept my remarks as a requested feedback (tried to make at least constructive).

I like: 8 -> I see "engineering" in the gears which relates to the platform aspect. It's a bit too vertical though. I wonder what it could become more horizontal 4A -> with different colors for the pencils Great jobs by all participants.. All the logos have something nice !

Hi Community,
The XWiki Logo proposal period is now closed, many thanks to everyone who participated. It is now the time to vote the new logo amongst the 19 proposals available here:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge#HProposals
You can send your vote: - on the mailing list, by replying to this e-mail - on twitter, in the format: #xwikilogo<proposal_number>
Don't hesitate to nominate several proposals if you feel that they are really close and you cannot decide for just one. Sometimes, a bunch of fuzzy opinions can lead to a more accurate result.
IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions: - Is it distinctive? - Is it easy to remember and recognize? - 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.
Motivating your vote also helps better understand what qualities a logo evokes in people's minds.
Also note that the designs are not final, the selected proposal will be further tweaked and perfected, so don't discard a logo just for minor flaws.
If several proposals come close to being selected, we could organize a second round of voting.
Please send us your votes before March 31st.

It's time to inject new blood in XWiki.org. While discussing about improving its look& feel we thought it would be a good time to create a new logo for XWiki.org as it's an important part of a website design. We borrowed the current logo from XWiki.com some time ago and, in order to keep the distinction between the company and the Open-Source project clear, we think XWiki.org websites and projects need their own logo.
As you may know, we love proposals, that's why we'd like to make the logo design an open challenge, anyone interested can join and a vote amongst the community will determine the winner. Even if the main purpose of the challenge is to have fun, the person whose design gets selected will receive XWiki goodies, including his logo printed on a t-shirt obviously :) The designer of the selected logo will enter the Hall Of Fame, and last but not least reward : the design will be spread wide (XWiki Enterprise is more than 10000 downloads/month and XWiki.org web site more than 50000 visits a month).

My favorite is 15. * nice work done for 15 but i find the logo too similar to Atlassian
logo (any basic human based logo would look too Atlassiannish to me i think)
I strongly disagree that just because it represent a people, it is Atlassian like, they do not hold the exclusivity of people logos. Atlasian logo is like a weight-lifter that lift the world, very straight on its foot. Nothing to do with a happy jumping man, using really curved shape at all ! XWiki is about peoples sharing information and compare to most other logo, 15 is one that have the most interesting evocation. Without dash, in red or another color, avoiding blue (even if I like it) and probably using a more curved font to improve, if needed, the clear difference it have with the Atlassian logo. I would be curious to see what Vishal could propose with some more work. 19 would be my second choice, since it is curved, and even nice straight logo like 7, 8 or 16 evoke to me some inflexibility or technicality, which is frightening. 12 could be interesting as a continuation on the initial theme, but it would be less distinctive with XWiki.com, probably a nice evolution for them not for the open-source one. 1, 2 and 13 are not scaling. 17 is nice, but not scaling and evocation is inappropriate. Appart for not being easy to scale, I feel 4 is not readable for newcomers, using only 2 pencils, could probably helps there. Many thanks to all designers anyway for their proposal and please do not feel hurt by my remarks that I really hope to be constructive. Denis

Hi XWikiers, I like 12B and 12E. I like 15, which to me is probably the most distinctive of all the logos presented. I also like the fact that one can read a X, a W, a i and a K in that little guy's shape :-) I think the "-" should be removed between the "X" and "Wiki" and that the case should be switched from "X-WIKI" to "XWiki" but that's minor. In short, probably my favorite one. I have an issue with 16 -> I showed it to a couple friends and they were unable to read it as "XWiki". I kinda like it but I already know it's supposed to mean "XWiki" but I'm afraid it's not readable enough for other people. I also like 19 (the two-colors version, not the 3D shaped one). I also happened to see a version of 19 with a font that made it look nicer -> JV, do you think that version could be added to the page?

I agree that the way XWiki is written in 16 doesn't make it easy to be read, but to me that isn't the logo. The logo IMO is what follows the hard-to-read text. The text just shows how the logo was extracted. At least that's how I see it. Thanks, Marius

The XWiki Logo proposal period is now closed, many thanks to everyone who participated. It is now the time to vote the new logo amongst the 19 proposals available here:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Community/LogoChallenge#HProposals
You can send your vote: - on the mailing list, by replying to this e-mail - on twitter, in the format: #xwikilogo<proposal_number>
Don't hesitate to nominate several proposals if you feel that they are really close and you cannot decide for just one. Sometimes, a bunch of fuzzy opinions can lead to a more accurate result.
IMPORTANT: Before choosing a logo based on your personal preference, please try to also ask yourself the following questions: - Is it distinctive? - Is it easy to remember and recognize? - 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.
Motivating your vote also helps better understand what qualities a logo evokes in people's minds.
Also note that the designs are not final, the selected proposal will be further tweaked and perfected, so don't discard a logo just for minor flaws.
If several proposals come close to being selected, we could organize a second round of voting.
Please send us your votes before March 31st.

Hi XWikiers!
It's time to inject new blood in XWiki.org. While discussing about improving its look& feel we thought it would be a good time to create a new logo for XWiki.org as it's an important part of a website design. We borrowed the current logo from XWiki.com some time ago and, in order to keep the distinction between the company and the Open-Source project clear, we think XWiki.org websites and projects need their own logo.
As you may know, we love proposals, that's why we'd like to make the logo design an open challenge, anyone interested can join and a vote amongst the community will determine the winner. Even if the main purpose of the challenge is to have fun, the person whose design gets selected will receive XWiki goodies, including his logo printed on a t-shirt obviously :) The designer of the selected logo will enter the Hall Of Fame, and last but not least reward : the design will be spread wide (XWiki Enterprise is more than 10000 downloads/month and XWiki.org web site more than 50000 visits a month).
The challenge takes place there: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/LogoChallenge

FYI, the current vote results are available at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah6DqXzfHT2vdHV5Ty1LX3lKU3U5V3M4YmNF... and it looks like there is no clear winner. At the moment it seems that we'll have a second round with 4, 12, 15 and 16 (and maybe 19).
In the spreadsheet I converted non-numerical votes to what I felt was the intent of the voter, please correct if my assumptions were wrong.
There are two columns with no label, I and N. What is their meaning?
Those are hidden columns used for computing the group votes. You happened to look when somebody else was trying to look at them, too.
People, please don't alter the table in general, I left it open so that voters can alter their vote weights.
Also in my case the points don't sum to 1. Is it right? I added the remaining 0.1 to 16B.
My bad.
Thanks, Marius
Only two days left for the first round of votes.

Hi all, It is very hard to choose (and by this all participants should understand that all proposals are noteworthy). I also took into account following criteria: can I draw it with a pencil on a paper in a single color and it would still be recognized? As a result my votes and comments go like this: 4 0.2 -- either B, or A with thicker pencils so that the X is more obvious 5 0.1 -- I like the way it looks but I don't see that much of a wiki reference + it's not drawable 12E 0.1 -- it's nice, close / far enough of the old logo, but it looses in drawability and single color 16 0.2 (with a little more for B, maybe) -- there could be a color issue but the shape would make it recognizable easily 20 0.2 -- I like the way it blends together and it is pretty recognizable 8 0.1 -- I like the wheels a lot, they're very much "app platform, geek"-ish 6B 0.1 -- I like the idea but it really needs different colors and more polish, right now it looks a bit flashy and raw I also liked the looks of proposals 2, both A and B, but they're not very much drawable and the X is not very obvious + I couldn't find why arrows would be representative for xwiki... Note that although 15 meets pretty well the criteria above, it still looks to me too much around the atlassian logo (yeah, any human shape would do it)... + I'm more fond of geometric shapes, I think...
