Hi all, It is very hard to choose (and by this all participants should understand that all proposals are noteworthy). I also took into account following criteria: can I draw it with a pencil on a paper in a single color and it would still be recognized?
As a result my votes and comments go like this: 4 0.2 -- either B, or A with thicker pencils so that the X is more obvious 5 0.1 -- I like the way it looks but I don't see that much of a wiki reference + it's not drawable 12E 0.1 -- it's nice, close / far enough of the old logo, but it looses in drawability and single color 16 0.2 (with a little more for B, maybe) -- there could be a color issue but the shape would make it recognizable easily 20 0.2 -- I like the way it blends together and it is pretty recognizable 8 0.1 -- I like the wheels a lot, they're very much "app platform, geek"-ish 6B 0.1 -- I like the idea but it really needs different colors and more polish, right now it looks a bit flashy and raw I also liked the looks of proposals 2, both A and B, but they're not very much drawable and the X is not very obvious + I couldn't find why arrows would be representative for xwiki... Note that although 15 meets pretty well the criteria above, it still looks to me too much around the atlassian logo (yeah, any human shape would do it)... + I'm more fond of geometric shapes, I think...
