DataPortability Logo Vote now Open!
April 15, 2008
The vote for the new DataPortability logo is now open – get in and get voting!
For some history on the competition you can read my previous post.
A huge thanks to everyone involved – they are all listed on the voting page itself so I wont repeat them here. In addition to those listed on the vote page, I’d also like to add my personal thanks to Brady Brim-DeForest, Elias Bizannes, Navarr Barnier, Phil Wolff and the DataPortability community.
The logo will be revealed soon after votes are tallied.

Sorry man, but I like the existing one. You should at least add it to the possibilities.

Stefan we had to change the logo because RedHat was not happy http://chrissaad.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/dataportability-logo-competition/

Wow.. ok, in that case understood. Nice bit of irony there, Microsoft joining DP and RedHat sending cease and desist letters.
Will go vote now.

Weren’t there more cool logos submitted then the ones that are on the page? What happened with the rest?

Vladimir these logos were shortlisted from the total submissions of about 400 logos. The panel of judges is linked on the page.

That shortlist is mostly terrible. There are several logos that are far better in the original pool.

Chris, I’m honestly a bit surprised by how many of the final entires are variations of the symmetry of d/p, and how many are abstract designs that do little to indicate “portability” or “convey the concept of moving/owning/syncing data”. I’m certainly not an expert, but I’m surprised by their final choices. (And no, this isn’t sour grapes for mine not making it, though I was disappointed.
