Yeah. I had trouble reaching Pedro's and Rick's candidate sites until today,
and I wanted to wait to vote until I could see them all once more.
My preferences:
For logo: Mike's cool-metal-leaf. Comment: several of the others
are as good conceptually, but this one is meticulous in
its actual rendering. Mike is right about the perspective
problems in the firehats. Pedro's simple logo is nice, and
we should use it for backup purposes like B&W stickers. His
fancier one is potentially the nicest of the lot, but small
flaws in the rendering make it hard to read.
For Web site: Mike's sourceforge-style presentation. Comment:
none of the others uses the display area as efficiently.
Mike's format packs an enormous amount of info on that
single page. Others are more artistic and creative in
design, but they mostly end up reducing the actual content
displayed. In any case, people learn to use familiar
things and start to believe they are therefore "intuitive";
whatever the merits of the Sourceforge site style, it
is already familiar to a lot of people, and we should take
advantage of that familiarity.
To respond to Pedro's question: I too dislike the two-step entry process
(and Rick's very effective use of Pedro's logo shows that you do not need a
two-step process to use it and use it well). On the content page, the list
of links (which show on my system in very tiny type) takes up more than half
the display (counting the white space around them). The link to the image in
the upper-left corner is broken, so I don't know what he intended there.
There is little enough actual content that I can't get s sense of what he
indended for the substantive part of the page.
