Here's the 5 shortlisted forum logos.  I'll put these up for one day each starting from Saturday.  The poll will stay open until the following Saturday and then we'll announce the winner.  The designer of the winning entry can then bask in the glory and acclamation that victory delivers.  Or not, their choice.

Number 1 SHORTLISTED

I go to work in the morning, and come home to find that there has already been a vote to nominate 5 finalists!

Lucky you guys did a good job at picking a top 5!

P.S: Thanks Markn!

I liked 4 but didn't vote for it because it seemed to me to simply reflect the pre-decimal era.
All good selections though.

I liked No. 3 as it covers coins and banknotes.

To me that is what we are about not just coins.

:idea:

Number 3 is making a late rush for the line after it was the active logo for a day.  It looked really good up there.

Number 4 is now live.

Can I PLEASE make an amendment to mine (#3)?

It is almost identical, but in my opinion, looks HEAPS better!

I don't know how strict this 'competition' is.

I'll post it below anyways and keep my fingers crossed (again, I can't quite get the dimensions correct)

I like #3 just the way it is.  If you were to implement your proposed change then I'd have to refer to my previous comment re #4 which I though to pre-decimal.  Your change I would consider to be too 'decimal'.  I think the good thing about the current #3 is that the coins on it are understated. i..e. in the background and not taking away from the 'forum'.  Just MHO.

I agree with Yass.  Your modifications essentially make it a new logo.

I just voted for #4.  easy to read and beaut photos of some beautiful coins.  

4 is my choice and I'm sticking to it. lol
Title: RE: Vote for Forum Logo
Post by: humpybong on October 16, 2012, 01:01:57 PM
Still sticking with number 3 because it covers notes and coins and that is what we are about.

Looked good when displayed as well.

Someone just suggested that we might have a problem if there's a tie.  If that's the case we'll hold a 2 day poll between the tied choices.  If there's a tie after that we'll nominate someone to be able to cast the tie breaking vote.  I for one nominate nevol to do this :)

If you look up the top where the poll results are just under the header "Poll: Which logo do you prefer" there's a link to "undo vote".  You can use that to change your vote.

Number 3 has made a late charge for the finishing line and looks like taking the win.  Today is Evaluate Your Life Day, perhaps a fitting final subject for the ever-changing temporary logo.

Mark is a little upset once we get a winner he won't be able to fluff around with the logo adding all the strange days of the year as we progress.

Sunday is reptile awareness day!

No, we cannot.  This forum is designed to run on a minimum screen width of 800px.  Those of us blessed with wider monitors need to put up with whitespace to the right of the logo.

I still think we should keep the others for rotation though.

Great logo Naomi. Maybe instead of a cookie you could have one of yesterday's chocolate cupcakes, they looked delicious.

Oh wait cupcakes was thursday, I hope they're not mouldy.
