Hi Everyone
As mentioned I'd like to have a community vote for our new logo as the
discussion threads were becoming a little difficult to follow.
Essentially this vote is about selecting which design style you like
the best that we want to move ahead with. This means that if for
example the majority choose the existing logo then that's what we will
try to refine and make into our official logo.
_IMPORTANT NOTE_: The link to the vote is at the bottom of my email
and clearly labelled: “*Link to Logo Vote*:”
Kenneth has spent some time preparing some examples of each of the
logos printed in different situations to give us a better idea of what
it could look like. This means that whatever design we choose we still
have options to change the colour of the logo for printing.
I've selected the following 3 options for the vote (as there were some
ideas in the last round that no-one liked:-).
_*Option 1 : Our Existing Logo with Updated 'Registered' Symbol*_
I've included this option in the vote as we have a couple of people
that strongly support this one. One thing to be aware of is that the
quality of our existing logo is not very good, it is blurry and
doesn't resize well so Kenneth has mentioned that some cleanup work
will need to done to try and correct this.
It looks like this:

_*Option 2: Corrected OFBiz Name with New Feather *_
I've included this option in the vote as many people requested that we
correct the spelling of OFBiz in our logo to match our project name.
Also as Apache has rebranded their feather, this new feather was added
to the logo.
It looks like this:

_*Option 3: Power OFBiz*_
I've included this option with its original colour gradient as some
people liked the style, and others liked the style but not the colour.
BTW I found out that the circle was meant to represent a power button
(ie for switching on something on or off). One concern that was noted
was that the gradient would be difficult to print. Kenneth mentioned
that he didn't think this would be an issue for a professional printer.
Some people liked this option with a blue power button instead so if
you were one of those then please add in the comments box that you
prefer the power button to be blue.

*_Making Your Choice_*
The survey vote contains images of each of these logos so you will be
able to see them when you vote. Please vote for only one of the
options. For each option in the survey I've also added a comment box
for any additional feedback.
Please use the following link to vote:
*Link to Logo Vote: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3J2H3RX

I'll keep the survey open until the next Wednesday so hopefully that
will give everyone time to respond. Once complete I will summarise and
post the results to both user and dev lists.
As an additional note – whichever we choose, the ASF will pay for us
to get some stickers etc professionally printed so hopefully we will
have some available for Apachecon later in the year.
Anyway Happy Voting Everyone!
Thanks
Sharan
