Re: Selecting a Plasma logo

I think this is likely the best and most expedient idea. Just list all the potential logotypes and have everyone score every logo on a scale. Whichever logo has the highest score becomes the Plasma logo. If there's a tie the VDG serves as tiebreaker. If everyone is O.K. with something like Google

Re: Selecting a Plasma logo

About half a year ago this thread started and so far no actual change has happened. The background is that the past logo for Plasma Desktop was disagreed upon by the Plasma developer team and they wanted a new one. Thomas created a competition of sorts which had a lot of suggestions in it.

Hi, When I said that I don't really find any of these fitting as a launcher icon, I obviously excluded the K-gear logo - was thinking about the new proposals. Though, the fact that K-gear looks better than the rest might be because we are all accustomed to that one. The same goes for the current
