Voting for Ora LogoLet me start with two quotes:
This is going to be a real tough one. Even it is going to be hard deciding top 5.
@Pentamon, how are we going to vote? Decided method voting? Where? I am sorry if this has been answered. I have been a little busy with real life and here at the moment.
This group of art designers can be Ora's design team if they are interested. Will be a good addition if you ask me. We can have our own designer team.
lotsa things to do. We also need someone to design an infographic on how to use Nxt client (register, secure account, nxt ae) to purchase Ora Asset and another would be How to use Secureae.com to purchase ora asset using bitcoin.
This could be your next project for you if you are interested.
And can be difficult to count voices.
Maybe we will not vote for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place, and make one voice = one point.
Each voter 3 equal voices he gives 3 different logo.
There are many equally strong logo and it is difficult to allocate places (especially for designers, I think).
And in 3 equal voices for three logos (proportionally) will be easier to count the votes for each logo then ..
What do you think about it?
In any case, some want to change their vote with new logo.
Thank you DarkhorseofNxt and kussaka, for drawing attention to the voting.
I try to keep the most up to date info in the message that is linked to in the first post, but that is always somewhat hidden, isn't it?
I am going to describe my intended voting procedure. Please comment:
Remember, we are doing everything here on this forum thread.
The only external resources is the Prezi presentation that I will try to keep updated with the voting results.
http://prezi.com/zk-cuegzir2_/logo-for-ora/You will see the submitted logos on this prezi 'migrate' to the middle as they get more votes.
I will likely need a spreadsheet for this as well, but that is still to be done.
Maybe somebody here is good at that and will help me? - we will need to trace every vote on the thread.
Official deadline for design submissions is 17 August, however if somebody throws in a design later, it will be accepted. Obviously the later you submit, it will have the disadvantage of missing some early voters. Right now we are getting into some interesting collaboration here. ( I bet that those of you who follow other groups, will find the tone here at Ora quite pleasant.)
Final deadline for voting is 31 August.
Everyone votes only once.
Some of us have voted already. If you change your mind, maybe because a new good design came along, just go back to your voting post and edit it, prior to 31 August 2014.
Everyone has to give three choices.
You may add text to motivate your choice.
Everyone has to give them in order: 1, 2 and 3, with position 1 being the most liked one.
Vote counting: I want to give three points for position 1, two for position 2, and one for position 3.
If a person only enters one choice, I will count it on position three, one point only. (Rationale: encourage multiple options.)
Designers (people that have submitted a design) may put ONE of the three options as their own. On any position they wish.
So by point count, a designer could give half of the points to himself (three points for position one) and
Designers votes also account for 2/3 of the total vote. (Rationale: they actually take a risk by taking part, and they likely might know design better than those of use that only consume.)
I would like to hear if there are any strong objections to this process.
The only 'messy part' that I possibly expect (apart from people not understanding the process) is if the vote is split by multiple submissions from one designer that are very similar, like colour changes, etc. In that case, we will use common sense in lumping obvious patterns together, won't we?
I also would like to thank all the participants, especially the designers.
As DarkhorseofNXT suggested, the process will hopefully continue, after the logo for Ora is finalized, because as we all know, Ora itself will need this kind of nurturing community process for hopefully a long time.
Remember:
As you nurture Ora, Ora nurtures you! (maybe somebody can put that in a nice latin version on a coin?)
