Now that the first logo-vote on the number of logos and licenses has been finished it is time to move on and select what our logos will be. Please note that the winner of the vote does not automatically become the official logo: it might need some work to make it fit all the logo-criteria and converted to a scaleable format). Once that is done I'll announce the official logo to everyone. About the GIMP contest: even if the winner was not a submission of the GIMP contest we still need to appoint a winner. This will be the entry that gets the most points (for lack of a better description) in the vote. Also please note that it is possible to add new logos to this vote (and I fully expect people to do so); please see the constitution on the procedure for submitting ammendments. Okay, here are the options (also see the webpage at http://www.debian.org/vote/1999/vote_0004): * jeanette (ants) Concept: Debian is a lot of people working together to produce some great things, just like ants. Pros: strong imagery, official and liberal logo with the same theme but still different. Cons: official and liberal logo might be too different * raul (swirl) Concept: magic being release from a genie bottle. Pros: simple, good associations, already in a good format (EPS) Cons: none :) * villate Concept: seal balancing the world Note: should be modified to be an outline Pros: playful, cute Cons: needs some hard work to modify it to an outline * captain blue-eye (the current logo) Concept: modified version of Tux (the Linux penguin) Pros: people already know it Cons: too Linux-specific --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hereby propose to choose the new logo by General Resolution. The ballot will contain these options: 1) jeanette (ants) 2) raul (swirl / genie) 3) villate 4) captain blue-eye (the current logo) 5) further discussion There are 509 registered voters. That makes Q 22.56 and the quorum 68 votes. We will use the normal two week discussion period followed by a two week voting period.
