Some of you might want to have a look at the preliminary results, here they are on a spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fqZOFOb-F-_XFXctVaO4NsReSYnu8yeJTxVYqe4gNrQ/edit#gid=1970147027

This might give you time to change your vote, if you wish.
We are still waiting for some votes.
So far 41 votes were cast, 10 more than in the first voting round. Thanks guys.

Remember that the designers have 2/3rds of the vote.
There is an interesting difference between the preferences of the 'general' and the 'designer' population:

Ora enthusiasts (general members) voted so far:
Number 1 - 17%
Number 2 -   7%
Number 3 - 25%
Number 4 -   7%
Number 5 - 42%

The designer population voted like this, so far:
Number 1 - 38%
Number 2 - 15%
Number 3 - 30%
Number 4 -  0%
Number 5 - 15%

And here is the preliminary total, weighted as per our system:
Number 1 - 31%
Number 2 - 12%
Number 3 - 28%
Number 4 -  2%
Number 5 - 24%

If you detect any mistakes, please let me know.

With only a few days left, please encourage others to participate

How about gvans version but circular?



Circular O, Ora, Starfish, Orastarfish, coin. Could someone transmute this into coin form?

Wow, that is close! It does go to show how hard this decision making process has been for the voters, all the entries were of such a high quality.

I would also like to encourage all the logo designers to stay involved with ORA!

[Mac Red]

Looks like we perhaps have a winner?

Looks like we perhaps have a winner?

There still 14 hours to go right? It only takes one vote to turn it upside down. Say like one sockpuppet vote in the last minute, lol

edit: Do we have official outcome...? Just to know if I should prepare high resolution and vectorized versions for multipurpose use? Anyhow I'm leaving for a holidaytrip next week.

I'd like to know this as well!

[DarkhorseofNxt]

Waiting for this as well.

[Pentamon]

Congratulations, gvans, you sumitted the winning design!

Ora will be a bit of square peg in a round hole - I like it.
Hopefully that will be a good indicator of things to come!

As you can see, it was close.

number 1: 29%
number 2: 11%
number 3: 27%
number 4:  2%
number 5: 28%

I feel somewhat teary for the designs that did not make it.

Darkhorse, will you help with the bounties? We should take into account the close vote.

[gvans]

Wow, most humble thanks for every voter and competitor! I don't mind if you even would divide the logo-bounty equally between top designs. Anyhow I'm happy and honoured. I have the design files on another computer which I can access tomorrow evening. I'll then provide a link to different sizes/colours and also vectorised pdf-files.

[kussaka]

Congratulations, Gvans! I really like your "Ora-Starfish" logo.
I'm happy to see so many votes for my designs.

[figroll]

Congratulations, gvans and all that submitted some really great designs. Been a pleasure being part of a civilized and constructive thread.

Also many thanks to Pentamon for keeping it that way.

Congratulations Gvans for winning logo.

Pentamon - i will distribute the bounty once you confirm to me who gets how much with their Nxt account. It would be good if you give me a list so i can compile into my coins distribution list.

Congratulations gvans! Thank you for designing such a lovely logo for ORA!

I also want to thank everyone who participated in the logo competition, especially the five finalists who created such amazing designs, and to Pentagon for creating a wonderful vibe in this thread.

I think many of us would like to reward all the finalists for their wonderful efforts, and I would like to donate 1 million ORA from my personal 2% founder stake towards the bounty pot for the logo contest.

It is very important that we show potential investors in ORA that we are responsible and disciplined managers and custodians of community funds, but I think most of us would like to see all the logo finalists rewarded for their efforts, and I'm fortunate to be in a position to have sufficient ORA to do this. ORA has a sizeable proportion of assets/coins in reserve, and we will distribute them wisely using agreed upon processes in the future. Until we have those bounty distribution mechanisms fully worked out it is best to use voluntary donations to get things moving, and this was always part of my thinking.

ORA needs a good balance between heart & head!

Thanks again to everyone who helped make the logo selection process a huge success!

[Mac Red]

Congrats to gvans and every other designer!

I'll also put in 1 million ORA into the pot.
