One thing not mentioned in the voting procedures is whether we can make any changes to the selected logo. IOW, I voted for several logos that weren't quite the way I'd want them in their final form, but they were compelling for various reasons. If others felt they could vote for a logo with the hope that it will be slightly different in its final form, it might change how some vote.
Consider 67b, for instance. I don't like the color scheme, yet the abstract blocks/checkerboard is visually unique and can be used alone as an icon (even alongside the URL in the brower's address bar).
Thus, I propose that we officially allow, or disallow as the case may be, such post-selection alterations, with the approval of the membership. That is, if we permit modifications, then once we have selected a logo based upon the current voting, we open discussions on any *minor* alterations, produce the alternate forms of the logo, and have a final vote on that.
Under the category of minor alterations, I would include:
- colors - relative sizing of elements - relative spacing of elements - phrasing ("Boost Libraries" instead of "Boost Library" for example)
I Agree. I voted with similar attached considerations. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
