| − | I like this one a lot -- It looks classy. My only hesitation would be that it might be too "Russian"-specific. But you definitely have some good graphics skill. [[User:FrJohn|Fr. John]]

| − | <br>This logo was submitted by [[User:WebmasterConstantine]] on Tuesday, Sept. 27th 2005. He writes: "It is a modified Alaskan Flag, a Midnight Blue field with a Golden Big Dipper. 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><br>

| − | * My initial take is this: I appreciate the symbolism very much, and I like the stylized font for "OrthodoxWiki." 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) project. We are grateful to have contributors from all over the world. I also have concerns about the visual effect of the strong blue background and the square-block design. One thing I like about it though is the way it integrates an OrthodoxWiki logo with a sense of mission and history/heritage/legacy/the saints. It's a very nice creative effort in this regard. - [[User:FrJohn|Fr. John]] 16:41, 27 Sep 2005 (EDT)

| − | A usability tip: It's always useful to test/optimize graphics for color blind vision. Use this free simulator: http://www.vischeck.com/vischeck/vischeckURL.php
| |
| − | Enter the URL of the current page with the logos(http://www2.orthodoxwiki.org/OrthodoxWiki:Logo_Submissions ), select a color vision type (try all three) and see if results are acceptable.

| − | This one is now my first choice. It has a nice soothing blue background, and it gets the idea across. Put a period between Orthodox & Wiki, and it would be perfect.

| − | * This is also a nice logo. 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

Iconic Book
A logo suggestion from
Raphael. I used the idea of a book such as one might see in an icon. The light of knowledge and a larger sphere representing "the net".
Another logo suggestion from Raphael.
OOO WWW Logo
I received this by email anonymously this morning -- not sure who would get the credit. - Fr. John
I like the first "O" and the Cross being the "t", as well as the decreasing-sized wiki, but perhaps the other "o"s in "Orthodox" could just be regularly-sized for balance? [[User:Magda|—magda (talk)]] 12:32, 1 Oct 2005 (EDT)
- Looks like a second logo was submitted according to your suggestions, Magda. Fr. John
I consider this too much of a good thing. It's the type of thing I would do in my younger days. One O or T would be enough.
- WebmasterConstantine
Circle Logos
Two variations submitted by the same anonymous person as above.
Also acceptable. Subdued, but gets the idea across.

Submissions from a friend of Magda
I asked a friend of mine to try his hand at a logo for Orthodoxwiki, and here is his work:
Here's an idea I've had. The scroll is for "knowledge", and the current OrthodoxWiki symbol signifies Orthodoxy.
There is a larger version available. I realise there's a problem with the top left edge of the scroll, but this is more of a draft, really.
Another logo suggestion from Raphael.
