Hello everyone, We have a decent number of logos to choose from now. I think it would be okay to close the contest on Tuesday (26/May). After that, we can start voting. Since the voting started before the entries were all in, there's a lot of noise. I propose that we cancel the existing votes and ask people to vote again. Is everyone okay with that? Thanks -- ~noufal

I think we should keep it open for some more time. voting can start right now.

How about using slinkset for voting? I created a a site and uploaded some logos. http://pyconindia.slinkset.com/ Anonymous voting is can be enabled if required. I can write a simple webapp to upload images to slinkset automatically. Anand

I dont like to create another account in yet another site to do a voting, Anand. It puts me off. With Anomymous voting, if you mean I can vote without registering it okay; but how will you track how many diggs I did? While the site and digging votes is good. Why dont we go for a simple measure of writing our usernames as the votes in teh Python Wiki itself. * I see another advantage in the Python Wiki that those logos will be preserved and will give a sense of active partipation that went on, when someone stumbles upon it in the future.
I prefer voting on the wiki. If someone is willing to upload all the images, create an account and setup a poll, I will vote on another site but I'm not going to take any extra efforts to do so. The wiki should (at the end of the business) serve as a record of everything that went on. Because of this, I'd like everything on the wiki. On 5/24/09, Senthil Kumaran <orsenthil@gmail.com> wrote:

I don't want to keep the polling open till Thursday. It's already been a week. We've got a decent number of good Logos and can close the poll tomorrow. Voting should start *after* the candidates are all in otherwise, things will get skewed. On 5/25/09, Noufal Ibrahim <noufal@gmail.com> wrote:

I agree, we should choose on a logo fast and move ahead to discuss other things, If half as much time goes into organizing as goes into developing and choosing a logo this is going to be one heck of a conference --SteveHolden Cheers, --Pankaj, who has already voted ________________________________ From: Noufal Ibrahim <noufal@gmail.com> To: Senthil Kumaran <orsenthil@gmail.com> Cc: inpycon@python.org Sent: Monday, May 25, 2009 9:38:22 AM Subject: Re: [Inpycon] PyCon Logo decision I don't want to keep the polling open till Thursday.

Okay. Entries are over. I'm really impressed with the participation and quality. Please vote. You can write your name below the logo of your choice. Feel free to vote for multiple logos. We'll stop the voting in 2 or 3 days and then make that our 'official' logo. Thanks. -- ~noufal

Nothing in the voting system to prevent you from doing that. After all it is just a Wiki. Btw, I have numbered each logo. It would have been better to have a separate voting page with the logo # actually. Editing the entire page for voting is rather tricky.

How about the Condorcet or the Schulze (internal elections?) method, both of which iirc are used by debian. If its too complicated a procedure, maybe each voter could write the number next to their name indicating first, second, third... choice. Ex. $yourName/ID (1) [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method -- thanks || vid || http://www.svaksha.com ||

Blah. Nice mathematics, good to read and enjoy. But I like KISS methods. :) -- Senthil

Anand C. * mentioned that it might make sense to have an official logo and a few 'sticker designs' (for laptop 13,14,15,16 and 17 seem to be quite suited for both. Food for thought. -- ~noufal
Okay. Voting's over. Here are the results. Top 3 in increasing order of votes. 2. Logo no. 8 (from Smriti) * - 4 votes 1. Logo no. 9 (from Vipin) - 9 votes 0. Logo no. 14 (by Bharat Keshav) - 14 votes * - According to David Goodger, this one alters the python logo and we might have trademark issues with the PSF. It's not amongst the top 2 so we can ignore it. I mailed psf-trademarks about this but didn't really get any replies. We'll stay away to be safe. Between logo 9 and 14, I think we should keep one as the Logo for the site and the other as a sticker design for the swag and laptop stickers (the more public face). I think 9 is simple enough to go on a site and 14 looks more 'stickerish'. What do you all think? -- ~noufal

I would say just go for one logo. Whichever won. Have it in site. Let us make stickers if really need to. Thinking about stickers is a minor thing that would be part of the swag. But Logo would be there at many places and in stickers too. So, I would suggest not to mix it here. The contest was for Logos and we can just do the logo first. -- Senthil

Totall agreed. So logo no 14. it is then. I've updated the wiki to reflect this. Whoever is helping Kenneth with the design, this is your 'official' logo for the site. -- ~noufal
Cool. I need fiddle a bit with the logo before we get anything printed, as the gradiation and the color won't come up exactly the same when we get it printed. Let me know before we print it on anything. There is another high resolution version of this logo uploaded on wiki. I have the original vector image, from which I can save as bitmap or any other high quality versions. Let me know if anything else is required apart from current jpg. cheers, Bharath PS: I have credited my friend Mr Rupesh who helped with the logo design, on the wiki site.

I have put the logo up on the site, but even giving it a width of 150 pixels the word 'INDIA' is not clear to me. At smaller sizes I cannot read it at all (or maybe my eyesight is not all that good) -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

I personally didn't vote for the design because I felt that the detail was too much for smaller sizes (eg. on the site). If Sree can squeeze/scale it a little to make it look nice on the site, it would be great. If that doesn't work, you might want to consider using the runner up in our logo contest. -- ~noufal

Bharath, Though the logo looks very attractive, the circular logo doesn't go very well on a website header. Can you try making a rectangular strip version of the same logo? Anand
