==Gold Cross Logo by HappyGrevling==
[[Image:GoldCrossWorldLogo.gif|Gold Cross World logo]]
This submission is from [[User:HappyGrevling]]. He explains: "It has a stylized Orthodox cross in the background, with an image of the earth, representing universal, pan-Orthodox appeal. The logotype appears in an old looking scroll to give it an "ancient" feel."
I like this one a lot -- It looks classy. My only hesitation would be that it's too "Russian"-specific. But you definitely have some good graphics skill. ===Logos by [[User:FrJohn|Fr. JohnWebmasterConstantine]]===<gallery>Image:Northstar.jpgImage:Owcrossstar.jpgImage:Churchsun.jpg</gallery>

This one is now my first ==Logos from [[User:Joe Rodgers]]==Click on logos to view details about the choice. It has a nice soothing blue background, and it gets the idea across. Put a period between Orthodox & Wiki, of words and it would be perfectimagery.
WebmasterConstantine <brgallery> * This is also a nice logo. It would be my second choice so far. My only concern is how it will look on any sort of textured or colored background (specifically the upper left corner of this page). It would be unfortunate to have to put it in a white box. I don't think it needs a period. --HappyGrevling ==OOO WWW Logo==I received this by email anonymously this morning Image:orthodoxwiki-logo2- not sure who would get the creditblack. - [[User:FrJohn|Fr. John]]png [[Image:OWlogo.gif]] [[Image:OWlogo2.gif]] ===Comments===I like the first "O" and the Cross being the "t", as well as the decreasingorthodoxwiki-sized wiki, but perhaps the other "o"s in "Orthodox" could just be regularlylogo2-sized for balance?

John]] I consider this too much of a good thingcolor. It's the type of thing I would do in my younger days. One O or T would be enough.<br>png- [[User:WebmasterConstantine|WebmasterConstantine]] ==Circle Logos==Two variations submitted by the same anonymous person as above. [[Image:Redcirclelogo.gif]] [[Image:OW_LogoSilver.gif]] Also acceptable. Subdued, but gets the idea across. WebmasterConstantine ==Submissions from [[User:ASDamick|Rdr.

Please post your submissions for the [[OrthodoxWiki:Logo Contest]] here. Thank you!<br>
''(Note: Please keep them coming! While some people have their favorites, I don't sense yet as consensus as regards a logo. We're looking to keep this contest open awhile, at least another month. We'd love to hear from as many people as possible before making a final decision. Thanks for all your submissions! -- The [[UserOrthodoxWiki:FrJohnLogo Contest|Fr. JohnLogo Contest]], 13 Oct 2005)will end November 15. Please get your submissions in!'''Let's see some nominations for top pick!
===Comments===* Looks nice! -Logos by [[User:FrJohnHappyGrevling|Fr. JohnHappyGrevling]]===<gallery>* MinorImage: The lower part of the globe is a bit [httpGoldCrossWorldLogo.gifImage://wwwDomesLogo.answersgifImage:SealLogo1.com/dithered#Technology dithered]gifImage:SealLogo2. Better reproduce this part of the logo in a smoother fullgifImage:Silver-color rendition (use noncross-palletized PNG for background transparency rather than GIF)logo.png* '''Go with this one''', although I'd give it a light Cyan bacground. The other three logos of my creation still have their uses. After the removal of the words "OrthodoxWiki", the first one would make a great church flag. The second has already been used as a wallpaper. The third one, if I can talk Fr. John into it, would be a part of a new section of digitized Church Scetches that would be nice to add to OrthodoxWiki. WebmasterConstantine</gallery>

==North Star Logo==Logos from [[ImageUser:Northstar.jpg|left|Webmaster Constantine's North Star logoRaphael]]===<brgallery>This logo was submitted by [[UserImage:WebmasterConstantine]] on Tuesday, SeptWiki_Logo. 27th 2005. He writesjpgImage: "It is a modified Alaskan Flag, a Midnight Blue field with a Golden Big DipperWiki_logo2. Replacing Polaris, the North Star, is the Blessing Cross. The Year 1794 is also displayed, all pointing to the fact that Orthodox Christianity first set foot in America in 1794 on Alaskan Soil, that Christ, symbolzed by the North Star, is whom we navigate by, and that American Orthodoxy points to Christ, as proclaimed by our early Alaskan Fathers."<br>png<br/gallery>
===Comments:Logos by Anonymous===* My initial take is this<gallery>Image: I appreciate the symbolism very much, and I like the stylized font for "OrthodoxWikiOWlogo." I am concerned however, that, though the official language of this Wiki is English, it is not intended specifically as an American (or North American) projectgifImage:OWlogo2. We are grateful to have contributors from all over the worldgifImage:Redcirclelogo. I also have concerns about the visual effect of the strong blue background and the square-block designgifImage:OW_LogoSilver. One thing I like about it though is the way it integrates an OrthodoxWiki logo with a sense of mission and history/heritage/legacygif</the saints. It's a very nice creative effort in this regard. - [[User:FrJohn|Fr. John]] 16:41, 27 Sep 2005 (EDT)gallery>
