Subject: Selecting a Plasma logo
Message-ID: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:88820fdf-1f7f-b6c8-e770-5a798a3992de@kde.org"><88820fdf-1f7f-b6c8-e770-5a798a3992de@kde.org></a>

Dear Plasma development team, dear VDG,
the official deadline for the Plasma logo contest has passed yesterday.
We have five entries into the contest, with one actually consisting of five
different mash-ups and modifications of the other entries, and one being
Plasma's current logo.
You can find all the proposals here:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=133836">https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=133836</a>
I think we have quite a good selection here, and hope that we can find something
here which we can agree on.
In the contest thread, I promised a jury consisting of VDG members and Plasma
team members.
Now I've decided that since the whole Plasma team has to be able to identify
themselves with the logo, and all VDG members should have the possibility to
chip in as well, everyone who participates in the discussion is part of the jury.
There won't be a voting process. Either we can agree on a logo, or everything
stays like it is (the official Plasma logo still being what we have now, and the
K logo being used for the launchers).
I'd give us a discussion period until Sunday, unless a clear agreement can be
reached before that.
Please refer to the logo proposals by the creator's forum name (remember that
our current logo is Uri's, not mine <span class="moz-smiley-s3" title=";)"><span>;)</span></span> ), and for Ken's just say e.g. "Ken's
fourth logo".
Happy discussions, here is to us finding a logo we can all (at least more or
less) identify with!

Hum, I was not aware of this... <br>
I just checked and I must say I really like anditosan idea and the
one 4th of Ken, but I'm afraid that it looks too much like a IM logo
(specially Ken's version). I'm not sure it really fits the breeze
theme as well (more what I expect for elementary OS)<br>
<br>
Out of this, I find very interesting the Gears + '>', specially
the 2nd of Ken. It's more like the continuity of what was before,
and therefore makes maybe more sense? or does it? :)<br>
<br>
I'm just afraid that a totally new logo in version 5.7 is strange.<br>
<br>
But that's very personal I guess.<br>
