XWiki Logo Challenge

Version 68.3 by Sergiu Dumitriu on 2010/03/26 10:48

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 emoticon_smile 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 25000 downloads per month and XWiki.org web site more than 50000 visits per month).

Rules

  • The current XWIKI logo must not appear in proposal
  • Fonts and/or any resource used to create the logo must be released under a license that allows to distribute it with an Open-Source product, the best guarantee for this is to use material released under public domain.
  • One can submit as many proposals as he wants
  • Names must be read in the correct order, left-to-right, top-to-bottom. XWiki Enterprise must be read in that order.
  • Proposals must contain the following arbitrary list of variants, to be sure that it can be adapted to all the use cases:
    • XWiki.org
    • XWiki Enterprise
    • XWiki Office

Planning

  • 31/Mar/10 : End of votes on [email protected]
