==Recommendations==

The ideal new Wikivoyage logo should be distinct from other logos, including other Wikimedia logos! It should be something unique, with a clear relation to Wikivoyage's mission and culture. Creativity is also highly encouraged with the choice of color scheme. Keep in mind that this is a multilingual project with a strong international slant (as it is a travel site!) so consider whether a logo would be appropriate for all language versions, including those with non-Latin scripts.

This suggested logo has popped up previously, but here it is again; an abstract arrow. You can read a full (slightly tongue-in-cheek) explanation of my reasoning and see some implementations, other language versions and the SVG version that [[User:Peterfitzgerald|Peter]] very kindly made, [[:voy:User:Nicholasjf21/New_Logo_Concept|'''here''']].

<section begin=Option 1 - Flowing Arrow />
It's a really nice logo and I really like the baby blue colour, but in order to make it more in line with other Wikimedia projects, I would very much prefer for it to use the same colours as other recent logos, e.g. the Wikimedia logo itself.
I also agree with the comments previously voiced that making it somewhat more like both a compass needle and the Eiffel Tower at the same time would make it even more powerful. [[User:PrinceGloria|PrinceGloria]] ([[User talk:PrinceGloria|talk]]) 19:36, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
:Thanks for your comments! :) I confess, I deliberately didn't use the WMF colours as none of the other 'consumer' (that's not the right word) wikis use the WMF colour scheme; if anything, blue is the more popular colour, but I used a brighter shade to differentiate ourselves; I know that some members of the community were not particularly keen on sharing colours with the 'meta' projects.
::I would personally be a little wary of making it look ''more'' like the Eiffel Tower and would prefer to keep the shape a little ambiguous in that respect: we don't want to be confused for the Parisian tourist board! I think it's nice that different people might see different things in the shape, but all of them are hopefully travel related. --[[User:Nicholasjf21|Nick]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Nicholasjf21|talk]]</sup></small> 19:54, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
:::I agree.  PrinceGloria, I really have no idea what you're thinking with your suggestions.  Look at the logos for Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionary, and Wikiversity.  The only thing they have in common is that none of them use the colors of the Wikimedia logo!  So why should Wikivoyage?  I'm also not sure what's 'powerful' about looking like the Eiffel Tower; can you elaborate?  [[User:LtPowers|LtPowers]] ([[User talk:LtPowers|talk]]) 23:17, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

::::I basically like this logo: color, form and thought. It works okay at a small size, but even in the gallery above I think that the version without the wordmark is too simple. I'm not sure what I'd add, but I think it needs ''something'' so that it's not a flat circle in bigger versions. Perhaps add continents to the globe (almost invisible at small sizes) or gradients. [[User:Skalman|//Shell]] 09:27, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::Too ''simple''??  I'm guessing you don't have formal training in graphic design.  One of ''the most basic'' precepts of design (graphic or otherwise) is ''simplicity''.  [[User:LtPowers|LtPowers]] ([[User talk:LtPowers|talk]]) 18:13, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

::::::Thanks for your thoughts //Shell! As LtPowers has said, I've aimed to keep this logo as simple as possible in order to make it more powerful: a strong, confident symbol for the project. Some of the most iconic logos in the world are composed of very simple elements. Hopefully this simplicity means that it works well at many different sizes, which is important for a project like this. --[[User:Nicholasjf21|Nick]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Nicholasjf21|talk]]</sup></small> 19:16, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

:::::::I appreciate the goal to have a simple logo. I still feel that it needs something at the size it will be viewed in most (135px wide with wordmark) and I think this logo is simpler than all other Wikimedia projects'. The Github mark ([https://github.com/logos the silhouette]) is one that I like very much - it's simple, yet contains details that make it interesting when large. Nick, what would you consider an iconic logo? [[User:Skalman|//Shell]] 21:58, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

::::::::Thanks for responding. I'd like to think it's about as simple as the Wikiquote and Wikidata emblems; not unusually so. The GitHub mark, whilst nice, doesn't seem that much more 'exciting' than the logo above and a cat-octopus hybrid might look a tad incongruous here. Personally, I like 'clean' design and that's what I've aimed for here. The use of a world map would, I fear, make the logo seem a little 'fussy', whilst gradients are rather losing their vogue at present - a flat icon can be timeless. Some examples of simple logos that I would deem iconic are: the [http://api.ning.com/files/Fd0Hyt-VB-mLJyE6xLYZ**QLu2VVQfvnaIEzyxSO11rwdkqRti2q4ra1ES1p8jr1BpSEJSaRTmqdCOv-6CXzMGxmhyl-gUex/applelogo.gif Apple logo], the [http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/pepsi-new-logo.jpg Pepsi logo], the [http://www.logodesignlove.com/images/evolution/mercedes-benz-symbol.jpg Mercedes-Benz logo], the [http://servv89pn0aj.sn.sourcedns.com/~gbpprorg/zine2/misc/Bell_logo.png Bell System logo], the [http://s3.freefoto.com/images/24/56/24_56_7_web.jpg British Rail logo] and the [http://www.creativereview.co.uk/images/uploads/2011/01/nikelogo_1.gif Nike tick]. I believe that simplicity makes a mark memorable and stronger. In reality, it's likely that the image in the top left corner is the largest resolution at which this logo is going to be seen. As such, it is important that it can be reproduced faithfully at a range of much smaller sizes too - if small details were introduced, there's a chance that they could be compressed and unpleasant or lost entirely. --[[User:Nicholasjf21|Nick]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Nicholasjf21|talk]]</sup></small> 22:24, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

:::::::::I'll quote myself just once more as a general statement of support for this submission: it suggests a V for Voyage, flight, a compass, and even a bit of ocean waves, while being very simple and sleek. Nick also explained that part of his inspiration was the three step evolution of our project and community, first developing at Wikitravel, then migrating (i.e., fleeing) to Wikivoyage, and then happily under the umbrella of the WMF. Thinking of the icon this way, the "arrow" acts not just as a compass needle, but also a pointer forward, which could be read as an allegory for our project's forward movement, or movement in general (and travel is, of course, movement). To respond to PrinceGloria and //Shell above, I think that simplicity and distinctiveness should actually be primary goals in creating a new logo, as these qualities imbue the icon with more power and "catchiness." 

::::::::::I certainly hope to have the opportunity to look at more submissions, which hopefully are on the way, but I can say I'd be happy with this one, as long as there are no legal obstacles this time. Great start to the submissions!  --[[User:Peterfitzgerald|Peter]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Peterfitzgerald|Talk]]</sup></small> 20:26, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

:::::::::::I think that this is an attractive logo, I just feel that if I saw it without the Wikivoyage label at the bottom, I wouldn't know it was for Wikivoyage. [[User:Qardys|Qardys]] ([[User talk:Qardys|talk]]) 01:19, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::::: '''(edit conflict)''' Thanks for your comments! Personally, I don't think a logo should be used to try and convey exactly what a project's about; after a while, any logo would become synonymous with WV simply by association. Other WMF logos seem to have been made with this in mind as well: either that or Wikipedia's developing spherical jigsaw puzzles and Wikisource is building an iceberg!
:::::::::::: A logo should, to my mind, convey the abstract spirit of a project , rather than explicitly say what an organisation stands for. If you look at the selection of logos I posted for //Shell above, none of them states what the company in question does, but gives a pictorial representation which might be used to identify them. That's what I've tried to create for Wikivoyage here. --[[User:Nicholasjf21|Nick]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Nicholasjf21|talk]]</sup></small> 07:38, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::::: I would reuse the font of the current logo. This would be a link with the current one. --[[User:Andyrom75|<span style="color:#BB0000; font-family:Papyrus; font-size:12px">'''Andyrom75'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 07:20, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

::::::::::::: In the context of travelling, the logo reminds me more of a paper plane than an arrow. And a paper plane looks strange in contrast to the massive pollution real aircrafts cause. --[[User:Nicor|Nicor]] ([[User talk:Nicor|talk]]) 09:03, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

:::::::::@Nick: Wikiquote & Wikidata have simpler shapes, but the colors make them more interesting to me. My point about the Github silhouette was that the details in the tail make it interesting at high resolutions while lo-res versions are still clear. Those logos are rarely seen as simplified as the versions you linked: Apple's is often on their products, where the logo has some gloss/texture; Pepsi's on a can, also giving gloss; Mercedes-Benz's is chromium-plated and 3D; Nike's on shoes/clothes which give texture/interesting background (don't know about Bell/British Rail). Contrast that with the Wikivoyage logo, which will be viewed on a gray background with no more gloss/texture than it has from the start. I guess Microsoft's new icons are a better comparison, but even those are usually in a smaller format. [[User:Skalman|//Shell]] 12:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

::::::::::I created a [[:File:Wikivoyage Logo Idea - continent contour and gradient.png|version showing my idea]]. To me the continents make it interesting at hi-res, while not taking anything away from the lo-res situations. (I'm not sure whether I can submit this version for Wikivoyage since it uses continents from [[:File:Southern Hemisphere LamAz.png|here]]) [[User:Skalman|//Shell]] 14:20, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::::Shell, [[:File:Wikivoyage Logo Idea - continent contour and gradient.png|your version]] with continent outlines in the blue disk is very interesting. I'd like to see what that looks like with the continents more prominently displayed, maybe like, or not like, a blue marble. --[[User:Rogerhc|Rogerhc]] ([[User talk:Rogerhc|talk]]) 19:11, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
::::::::::::Rogerhc, I don't understand what you mean by "blue marble". Would you like a version with a darker outline? [[User:Skalman|//Shell]] 19:40, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Thanks for posting that //Shell! I'm still not completely sure of it myself: I still like plain and simple, but I do appreciate your input and it is interesting to see! :) Personally, I like bold, simple shapes and 'unfussy' design, even though it's not necessarily everyone's cup of tea. I'd like the logo to look the same at all resolutions if possible, but your opinion is just as valid as mine! --[[User:Nicholasjf21|Nick]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Nicholasjf21|talk]]</sup></small> 12:50, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
::::::::::::::Under the terms of this process Shell can submit a derivative with those changes as an alternative proposal. &middot; &middot; &middot; [[User:Pbsouthwood|Peter (Southwood)]] [[User talk:Pbsouthwood|<sup>(talk)</sup>]]: 14:17, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::Absolutely! Shell's more than welcome to submit a derivative; the above is just my personal opinion. --[[User:Nicholasjf21|Nick]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Nicholasjf21|talk]]</sup></small> 14:35, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Quite so, and for what it's worth I prefer the plainer version. If I can make a suggestion, the curves of the gaps in the arrow could be harmonized a little. This one is on my short list at present. &middot; &middot; &middot; [[User:Pbsouthwood|Peter (Southwood)]] [[User talk:Pbsouthwood|<sup>(talk)</sup>]]: 15:08, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::Thanks! I am, unfortunately, away from my computer for the next couple of weeks (doing this on my phone), but once I get back, I'll try and smooth out some of the logo's rougher edges. :) --[[User:Nicholasjf21|Nick]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Nicholasjf21|talk]]</sup></small> 15:50, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::Peter, Am I though? My version is a combination of [[:File:Wikivoyage Logo Idea.png|Nick's idea]] and [[:File:Southern Hemisphere LamAz.png|a map]]. The map wasn't submitted here, so I don't believe I can submit my version without creating my own map or replacing it with one in the public domain. I'm not skilled enough to create my own, so either somebody else can create one or we'll have to find a better one. [[User:Skalman|//Shell]] 18:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::The shape of the earth is not copyrighted, just find a PD source and use that. You will want an svg anyway. cheers, &middot; &middot; &middot; [[User:Pbsouthwood|Peter (Southwood)]] [[User talk:Pbsouthwood|<sup>(talk)</sup>]]: 18:47, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::Shell I like your improvement on Nick's idea. Give yourself a try and submit it. --[[User:Andyrom75|<span style="color:#BB0000; font-family:Papyrus; font-size:12px">'''Andyrom75'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Andyrom75|talk]]) 23:06, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::I find Shell's version unnecessairly complicated. The power of Nick's version is its simplicity, relative uniqueness (it SUGGESTS a few things, but isn't one, so it has potential to become a universally recognized logo) and scalability (it works just as well as a thumb icon as it does as fullsize logo). [[User:PrinceGloria|PrinceGloria]] ([[User talk:PrinceGloria|talk]]) 19:18, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::::I made one more version, this time with a [[:File:Wikivoyage Logo Idea - split color.svg|split color]]. I don't intend to submit either variant now, since that would just confuse voters, but some people like the idea, I'll do something for the final round if this submission makes it that far. [[User:Skalman|//Shell]] 20:11, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

* I don't like it. The arrow is broken for my POV. Though, I think, it is possible to see something like sail in this arrow and to rework/redraw logo in this direction. [[User:Alex Spade|Alex Spade]] ([[User talk:Alex Spade|talk]]) 12:03, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
* It's a little reminiscent to the [http://www.openoffice.org/images/AOO_logos/OOo_Website_v2_copy.png OpenOffice.org ball logo], but probably not too much. [[User:Superm401|Superm401]] | [[User_talk:Superm401|Talk]] 23:47, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Can we see what it would look like as a favicon? Maybe even with an actual page having it as a favicon, not just a small picture? Thanks! [[Special:Contributions/81.14.76.167|81.14.76.167]] 00:05, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

:Thanks very much for your comments everyone!

This is my submission for the Wikivoyage logo selection process. The logo emphasizes that Wikivoyage is a free, world-wide travel guide. The airplane represents travel, and considering we're a world-wide travel guide, it is flying around the Earth. The "free" bit is only slightly hinted at, as the airplane is flying in a half-moon-shaped reversed "c", a nod to our copyleft license.

The logo shows not one, but two planets, because we are a project that's a coming together of two worlds (two communities), now operating together in union. That's why the airplane is flying around both planets as if they are one.

I chose orange because it's a unique color not used by any other WMF project. But we can make dozens of variations with many different colors. I'm open for your comments and suggestions. [[User:Globe-trotter|Globe-trotter]] ([[User talk:Globe-trotter|talk]]) 16:07, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Great concept, but the plane instantly reminded me of a shark swimming in the water...?

Globe-trotter, this is a really good idea for a logo and I love the way it evolved to become more simple and poignant. If you already don't, I believe you could make a living as a graphic / corporate identity designer. This is one of my favourites, because it looks really cool and professional, which will make people think Wikivoyage is not just a bunch of nutters writing crazy stuff about things they didn't like in Tblisi. 

Just a few remarks:
* I am a strong believer in using Wikimedia standard colours for newer projects to make clear their association with the foundation. Worked for Species, Commons and Data, should work well for us, because the point we want to make online is that while there are other wiki-based travel sites online, we are the only one thus far that is genuinely free in every sense and run according to all of the Wikimedia principles. Would you be able to try to use the RGB colours on a version of the logo?
* There might be some concern about suggesting travel = airplanes, which is somehow something we might want to avoid, being very inclusive of all modes and types of travelling and throwing cliches outta the door. That said, I am a quite cliche traveller myself and I like planes :)
* I agree I get this "I've seen that somewhere" vibe and you may want to check out whether there aren't some similar logos around
* I absolutely believe the only way the plane should be pointing is upwards and it should point in one direction both in the general logo and favicon, although I am all for having a different favicon than general logo, or even many versions of it, as long as they are instantly recognizable.
* As a sidenote, we may want to later reuse the "inverted plane" logo (6h I believe) or the "plane + mountains" logo from another proposal whenever we would be looking for a logo for WikiAirCrashInvestigation

While I like this, particularly some ideas that come to mind using the very simple and stylized version in the first thumb, I share some worries about its similarity to other logos.

While I like this a lot when considered independently, I think it's (much) too similar to the Meta logo. While that doesn't present trademark issues, since the WMF would own both, it still fails to give our project a unique look. (Actually, given Wikivoyage's greater visibility than Meta, it might be better to say that we'd be robbing Meta of ''its'' unique look!)

Thx for your feedback! 
* I was not thinking about different character systems at the moment of creating the favicon, I think just the arrows will work better. 
* If anyone here could translate wikivoyage to a language with different character systems (hebrew, any asian, kyrilic,...) I'd love to present them as demo.
* To clarify: the first three logo versions are the same logo for different purposes.  
* The font I used was Gill Sans bold. The creator Eric Gill died in 1940, so it should be free in most countries. If there is any problem: I think most of the bold sanserif typeface would work as well.

Okay. This is the first of several designs I will be presenting. This one is an arrow formed with four lines, each one representing something. The grey line represents the roads, the green line the forests and national parks, the red line represents the attractions, and the blue line, the water. Together, they form an arrow, a symbol used to point directions across the globe, and well-known in the traveling world. The red semi-circle (which I originally planned to be blue, though) represents the land above which all those elements coexist; e.g. the earth.

My logo is based on the <s>primitivity</s> primality (thanks [[en:User:AshLin]]) of feet in travel placed on a globe with some jut, here not accurately placed but could be designed with more geometrical accuracy and suggesting the same jigsaw theme of Wikipedia and using the same colour scheme (not adjusted exactly in the first version).

:::The original version is evocative of going out in various directions from a centre, it is fresh and dynamic, whereas the others all suggest a circularity of motion. I think an outward looking logo is most appropriate to our project. There is no need to dilute the message with any circular component.

Ok guys, I admit it, I draw terribly, but damn all those logos look so ''boring'' for a fun, comunity-driven travelling site! I bring you a traveller snake, it still doesn't have name, it is up to the Wikivoyagers to decide how to call it. It flies on a towel and goes everywhere! That is why it is so happy. It could even have the tongue out like a dog enjoying a car ride with the windows down. The colors can be taken from the official scheme, and this snake likes to form a W, the magic word (how else could a magic towel fly?!). Sometimes it likes to pose sideways and then you have a stilized W with a towel underscoring it. Artists, designers... help! This snake is angry at me for such a poor rendition, it says it can look much better! Materials used: pen on post-it. --[[User:Micru|Micru]] ([[User talk:Micru|talk]]) 16:04, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

By the way, I just wanted to commend Micru for bringing up the tone aspect to our logo considerations. There are 3-4 extremely strong logo submissions above, but all are pretty masculine and "techy." The masculine, techy demographic is not one we Wikimedians have trouble attracting. Having something really fun, bright, and whimsical (like a snake on a flying carpet) could be a good way to make our project more approachable for other demographics that we need to fill out a well-rounded travel guide to the world with lively writing—I hope we see some more submissions in this vein. Despite not being all that good at it, I'm going to try and vectorize and scale down this idea.

Here's my entry : A plane to symbolize "Voyage" with the "W" in the background for "Wiki". Two color schemes proposed.

As proposed by [[User:Andyrom75|<span style="color:#BB0000; font-family:Papyrus; font-size:12px">'''Andyrom75'''</span>]] , the version B includes a thicker circle (looks much nicer I think). Version C is lighter as the "W" background was removed.

This logo shows three means of transport: aeroplane, bus and ship. Ship is blue, as water is blue. Bus (I thought about a car first, but I think the bus is "more community" mean of transport, as Wikivoyage is a community peoject) is green, as grass on land is green. And aeroplane is red because red is just last color recommended by Wikimedia Foundation Design. I hope you find it enough simple to become a logo and enough nice to look at it so often. --[[UserːMimarik|Mimarik]] 17:00, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Nice concept. I like the ship and the bus. My problem is with the plane. It's really an unappealing shape. Can you just change that? In addition, ''please'' do not limit yourself to WMF colors!!

==Option 43 - Navigational Sextant==

<gallery>
File:Sextant Logo2 dark.jpg|Proposed logo
</gallery>

Author: [[User:MEDesigns|Michelle]]

This logo of a navigational sextant depicts the idea of travel and exploration. The blue circle symbolizes the Earth, as the majority of our planet is water. It's clean, simple design is easily recognizable and can be scaled down considerably while maintaining it's quality. The colors were chosen for several reasons - 1) Primary colors being easy to detect by the human eye. 2) The red and blue also ties into the nautical theme in which the sailors used these sextants which in turn relates to 'voyage' in Wikivoyage. 3) These colors would also work when converted to gray-scale or be viewed by someone that is colorblind.

the result like a Compass with a green arrow made of WV letters into the red and blue Wikimedia Circle

I really, really like this submission. The icon reminds of a hot air balloon, which is probably the coolest way to travel, with plenty of thematic possibilities that we can make use of in various on-site promotions (Jules Verne-ish ideas coming to mind). It also reminds of a parachute, which makes me think of parachuting off into unknown lands. That dovetails really nicely with our motto of [[:voy:Wikivoyage:Plunge forward]]! The color scheme is distinct, classy, and yet still fun. The snakey connection is just icing on the cake.  --[[User:Peterfitzgerald|Peter]] <small><sup>[[User_talk:Peterfitzgerald|Talk]]</sup></small> 20:42, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

A cheerful concept that is meant to represent the spirit of traveling. The footprint represents the most ecologically sensitive way to travel. Along with the blue globe background, the feet represents the east and west of the modern world and how traveling makes us one.
