Re: logo contest

[Scott Hofmann]

Here are my comments regarding the proposed FOP logo designs.
Number correspond to logos at 
http://vote.sparklit.com/web_poll.spark/714566_ :

1. ready for a change
2. Is attractive but does not say much to me about FOP
3. Too symbolic of the ANT project
4. nice - Clean like the use of transparency
5. same as 4, like the blue on 5 better
6. not interested in this one
7. nice - but dislike the Font used for FOP.
8. not interested in this one- not elegant enough
9. not interested in this one - not elegant enough
10. nice - but concerned about the text behind that would get lost at 
a reduced logo size. I think the use of lowercase actually works in 
this logo since the spelled out version is also lower case
11. not interested in this one
12. similar to 11
13. Like this one but would like to see a different font used for the 
f and p. seems like the F,O, and P should be lowercase to match 
the bigger letters that are lowercase.
14. not interested in this one - To much flair
15. not interested in this one
16. not interested in this one
17. nice - but i think it looks to much like 3 different elements 
rather then one logo
18. like this one - but concerned again about the type in the 
background getting lost at a smaller logo size. Also it looks more 
like a layout rather then a logo.
19. not interested in this one
20. nice - i like the way this one shows a process of being empty 
then going through the apache quill, then becoming transformed into a 
filled object.
21. nice - like the way it shows the fo. could be made a little 
more compact. not sure if it would look as nice if it was converted 
to one color.
22. similar comments as 21
23. not interested in this one - does not say much to me about FOP
24. not interested in this one - does not say much to me about FOP
25. not interested in this one - imagery is not clear enough on this one
26 -29. not interested in this one - looks like something you might 
see at a tattoo parlor or on the side of a mailbox :)

top choices:
4, 7, 10, 13, 18, 20, 21
top 4+ would be:
7 (different font with the ink and quill placed artfully in front of the 'O'
10 (i'd like to see the background tags move down three lines and end 
the tags where they do currently.
13 (with a little refinement on the font for the 'f' and 'p'
20

18 (i think i would have to throw out 18 becuase it looks more like a 
layout then a logo - unless of course it were reworked)

Victor, since one of my choices was also #7 with a dislike of the 
font i decided to post a revised version.

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.
