Hey. I think '''I'm still going d like to submit one today. I thought thank everyone once again for their submissions were due today. I guess 'm grateful for all the time and effort people put into this will probably affect any votes . I would receive because 'm also encouraged by seeing everyone's enthusiam for OrthodoxWiki. I know some have already voted. Can wish I still submit? {{User:Joe Rodgers/sig}} 14:40, November 15, 2005 (CST)could award everyone a prize!'''

===Please voice your opinions or cast your votes about It's nice to see something of a consensus emerging with regard to [[User:HappyGrevling|HappyGrevling]]'s "SealLogo1." I concur with this judgment. I think it looks dignified and professional, while capturing the logos!===Orthodox character and international scope of OrthodoxWiki. It's challenging to produce not only something that is of professional qulity, but also something which really captures the mission.

Which one My only hesitation is your favorite that I'd love to see it brightened up a bit, especially the greenish band behind the letters. We could definitely work with it as is, though. According to [[User:Joe Rodgers|Joe]]'s suggestion, I'd also like to ask if [[User:HappyGrevling|H.G.]] would be willing to donate the black and why?white version for use on letterhead.

Do you have ideas I'd like to give runner-up recognition to a number of others too:* I'd like to ask [[User:Baker]] if he would be willing to donate his logos for possible use as a decoration for future printed publications.* I'd like to ask [[User:Rublevpupil]] if he would be willing to donate his logos you don, especially #2 for use as a promotional link button.* I would like to suggest that [[User:Raphael]] make his first logo available to the fledgling [http://www.copticwiki CopticWiki] if they are interested.* I'd also like to ask "a friend of Magda" if he't have the technical know-how d be willing to create?<br>etcdonate "DEOWlogo2.png" as a possible link button as well.

==Opinions==At some pointOf course, could there if anyone else would like to formally donate their logos to OrthodoxWiki, we'd love to be a no-more-submissions-please-vote kinda thing? Perhaps people arenkeep them on hand for any future use. We don't voting because they may think something better want OWiki's visual identity to become too dispersed, but who knows what will come along soon... -- [[User:Pistevo|oea]] 19:46, 23 Oct 2005 (EDT)up?

:Hi oea, I think that's a good idea. Already, I've put up a note that submissions will stay open through Nov. 13th. I don't think we'll go much beyond that. The deadline will prob. be soon after that. I'll prominently announce it once it gets closer Thanks again to the dateeverybody! Yours in Christ, then we'll have some time to decide together.

HappyGrevling has submitted a potential winner[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon Favicons] must be valid ico files, I think - I mean his most recent oneor images which can later be converted into ico files, with the cross lying diagonally and have a size of 16x16 [http://www.

I think I like the simplicity of the first one by --[[User:BakerArbible|BakerArbible]]. (I'm attempting to put everyone's votes visually together [[User:Magda/Logo votes|here]]; please let me know if I get something wrong. {{User:Magda/sig}} 0716:5405, November 1516, 2005 (CST)

OK:Yep, I know itwas thinking about that too. If you's probably lame d like to vote for my own logo, but hey, submit something that's why I designed it great. Not sure what the way I did -- because I like it! My vote goes best approach would be to reducing the Silver Cross new logo (my 5th submission)to 16 x 16! If we come up with something nice, with I'll stick it into the gold-cross-world logo and the first Seal logo tied for second. - new [[OrthodoxWiki:Searching#The_OrthodoxWiki_Searchbar|Firefox searchbar extension]] too! [[User:HappyGrevlingFrJohn|Happy GrevlingFr. John]]

:P.S. I vote just submitted this to Mozilla for HappyGrevlinginclusion in the Firefox search plugins page (http://mycroft.mozdev.org/).:P.P.S. Hey! It's logo #1already up there -- cool! (See http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=orthodox&submitform=Find+search+plugins):P.P.P.S. Hey, thanks for the WikiCities Logo Contest link. I like it becuase it is 3-D and is dynamichad no idea other wiki projects were doing this kind of thing. --Tanyechka

My vote is ::''> If you'd like to submit something that's great''::Thanks Father and congratulations on the new look! I would receive a blessing by doing so, but I am not a graphic designer (you can tell from my very humble contributions sent to you some weeks ago via a 'logo submission' Hotmail account: the anonymous [http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/OrthodoxWiki_talk:Logo_Submissions/archive#OOO_WWW_Logo OOO WWW Logo] and [http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/OrthodoxWiki_talk:Logo_Submissions/archive#Circle_Logos Circle Logos] :-).::I can resize the current logo to 16X16 in PaintShop Pro, but as you have rightly mentioned, this won't produce good results. Perhaps HappyGrevling can quickly design a 16X16 ''matching'' icon with just the circle and the cross inside it (and maybe also using fewer colours)? Microsoft and other interested parties provide detailed guidelines on how to produce such "miniature" versions by reducing icon detail and focusing on distinguishing features, etc. (for Windows XP and the forthcoming Vista, but the same principles would apply to favicons)::I personally liked Baker's second icon for its elegance and simplicity, and the way it uses different shades of the same colours. However, I think HappyGrevling's 3rd winning logo"''really captures the mission''" of OrthodoxWiki in a far better way than any of the other submissions. ::With my prayerful best wishes, --[[User:JoffridusArbible|JoffridusArbible]] 1218:4723, November 1516, 2005 (CST):Thanks, everyone, for the kind words. I agree that there were a lot of excellent logo submisisons. I just created and uploaded a .png image we could use as a favicon (not sure how to make it a .ico). - [[User:HappyGrevling|HappyGrevling]]

=== Votes:Danny ===Although I would like to vote for my own logos, It would be a waste of a contest if the nicest looking one(s) were't accepted. Don't get me wrong, they are all nice, but I would have to go with HappyGrevling's one (the slanted 3d cross with ':The following png2ico converter program might help: http://www.OrthodoxWikiwinterdrache.org' over it in a curve stylede/freeware/png2ico/::Thank you very much. I'd just have to go with that one. God Bless Everyone In Christ, -- [[User:DannyArbible|Arbible]] 0015:2359, 15 November 17, 2005(CST)

=== Votes:Katjuscha ===I think my #1 vote would go to [[User:HappyGrevling]] #3 - it looks very professional, and it has the internet address integrated into itThanks everyboyd. I also like [[User:HappyGrevling]] #1, #2, and #5, [[User:Rublevpupil]] #2, and [[User:Raphael]] #2'll work on this soon. [[User:KatjuschaFrJohn|KatjuschaFr. John]] 17:06, November 15, 2005 (CST)

=== Vote''OK. Finally figured this out -- the .htaccess file was interfering with the template accessing the favicon. Anyway, I also downloaded a free little program called [http:Vandrona === I think //www.iconempire.com/free-icon-editor/ Iconomaker] in order the make the background transparent instead of white. Finally, I'd go ve changed the icon for HappyGrevling 5 Firefox/Mycroft search plugin too (using a transparent .gif), and sent an update to the Mozilla site. You may have to clear your browser's cache to see the new favicon. If you already have the search plugin enabled and want the new icon, you have to find your Firefox/Mozilla profile and delere the OrthodoxWiki entries in the "searchplugins" folder. If you don't have it already, why not? You can get it from [[Userhttp:Vandrona|Vandrona]//orthodoxwiki.org/tools/ here].
