I think it was not meant personally .. As far as I know Radim .. :) There are a lot of people outside that do really like your designs (including me) but I also understand the points of others..
It is indeed a important decision and probably everyone wants to see his favourite design as the final logo .. That's why I always say I am fine with whatever will win the contest.. Personally I go with Paolo and would like to see "on of ours" as the winner .. But I have to say that #50 is also a very clear design and would probably fit as Icon on the Desktop better.. As I am no Designer too (as Borys already mentioned) I would say every design that made it on the final page would be good to go and there should be a clean vote (i am not clear if it should be public or only the qgis team which stands behind the whole dev process). There are a lot of stories out there about "wrong" desicisions in logo design or naming (I remember some automobile which was called I think "dick" in another language) .. So I guess in some parts of the world the logo (and the colours) would have different meanings to people. We should try to be aware of that - but we cannot completely avoid such collisions. You never can do it "right" for everyone on this world. Let's just choose the "most voted" .. think about it from different viewpoints.. try to give the designer feedback about our concerns and afterwards we should avoid mails like "this one or that one would have been better".. To complete this mail. #50 for simple and clear usable as Icon on the Desktop #338,#336 and still #280 (for me) to be a logo for a shirt and a very nice design with a story behind to remember.. but probably not an icon so let's try to be objective and choose the best one and also accept the decision with kind regards Werner _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
