If the question is how the winner should be picked, I don't know. As far as the logo itself goes, here are my favorites (in order): 1. #7 (Tobias Muller, fountain pen feather). This is my favorite concept. With hi-tech names & logos both, you want to go one of two directions -- either be explicitly hi-tech, or something so classic that it will never be outdated. I generally prefer the latter, and the feather & fountain pen work well. I think if the text and typeface were tweaked quite a bit, this would be great. The lowercase type used in #10 looks much less imposing, and the typeface (is that Minion?) is much better. I would like to see us ask Tobias for some other versions with other typeface/color combinations. 2. #10 (Andre Halama, lower-case text, feather, xml in background). I am afraid background xml isn't going to scale well. Maybe leave that out, or have another version without it for small-scale stuff. As mentioned above, I like the text very much. 3. #2 (Bernd Brandstetter, parrot looking over shoulder). 4. #13 (Lars Wallin, clockwise circle around red dot). The contents of the "o" look too much like an eye to me. I think removing the red dot makes this a nice candidate. 5. #21b (Andy Joslin). I like the idea of setting the "fo" in a different color from the "p". Nice clean design. 6. #24 (Pavol Vaskovic). This doesn't fit with my "classic" preference, but I like it a lot. There are several others that are really quite good as well, but the above are my favorites.
