The results of the second logo vote are in[1], and Professional Option 1 was the winner: We accept Stephanie Brinley's kind offer, request a few different ideas, vote on those ideas to settle on one, and the final version is created from the winning idea. The results were: 75 Professional Option 1 67 Combo Option 23 Professional Option 2 I think at this point it would be good to get some volunteers to help shepherd the process. This is just to keep the process on track, all decisions will be made, as always, by group vote. If you want to volunteer to help out, let me know. Also, Leslie Johnston said at one point "The key to working with a professional is in identifying the design "program" ‹ what the organization's "story" is, who its community is, and who you want to get your message to with the branding, as well as identifying what uses the logo will be used for ‹ print, promotional items (t-shirts, hats, temporary tatoos, whatever), online ‹ which has on effect on the deliverables, e.g. file sizes and formats." David Cloutman also talked about developing a "requirements document" that could be vetted on the list. I'd like to suggest that those who volunteer to manage the process draft something of no more than one page in length to give to Stephanie to help provide her with some background and guidance. We will then post it to the list for wider feedback, revise it based on that feedback, and then contact Stephanie. Please let me know if you want to help with this.

But I think the options should be more clearly stated than they were before (sorry!): Combo Option: One person would receive all the designs from both internal designers and any professional designers willing to submit designs for free, and they are put up for a vote without anyone knowing who did which design. Professional Option 1: We accept Stephanie Brinley's kind offer, request a few different ideas, vote on those ideas to settle on one, and the final version is created from the winning idea. Professional Option 2: Hire a different professional designer (to be determined) from whom we solicit a few different ideas, vote on the ideas, and the final version is created from the winning idea. Yes, consensus is tedious. Competing ideas, objections, embellishments welcome. Otherwise, I'll set up another vote on the three options above and the one with the most votes takes it.
