My proposed logo isn’t listed.
Oh I didn’t see an image submitted, did I miss it?
Yes. I don’t think there’s any way to link to a specific reply in a thread, so you might want to search by my name.
I agree; I like the shape, but not so much the colours. I think my ideal would be something between #2 and #4.

Aha. I’ve discovered how to link to my logo nomination in the nominations thread. There are also replies discussing it.
Aaah I see. I think we are looking for an image logo rather than a kaomoji right now.

You don’t think it’s suitable for a logo
AND you don’t think it can be converted to your preferred format
AND you don’t feel uncomfortable making those decisions on your own during a voting process?
If you want to submit is as an image then I can add it, but we will lose all of the existing votes in the poll.
You will indeed lose all the existing votes if you restart a poll, but that’s what happens when you start the poll without making sure you’ve got all the nominations. Not even all the nominations that had positive comments in the nominations thread!
I’m not sure whether I need to explicity point out that you didn’t specify a format before closing nominations.
If this is how you run a poll, I’m not comfortable with your efforts at running a community.
It may be a good idea to take a break for a little bit, the response here seems a little disproportionate.
I didn’t think I had to clarify that the logo submission should be an image, but now I know. It’s an honest mistake. If you want to submit an image version I can still add it to the poll and we can extend the runtime until next Monday.

He missed my image too by accident. But let’s keep things in perspective, this is the first real poll for this discourse (license poll was just for feedback). He’s already recognized (in a different thread) that this poll/nomination wasn’t the greatest, and that future ones would be different.
I don’t think this poll was intended to be too serious, it was just that some logo was better than nothing, and probably was best to get community feedback rather than just Jake pick a temporary one on his own.

To make this postive, I didnt even think about nomination formats when I gave my 2cents about making polls better. I’d really like to hear your ideas @Heliobri in the Voting and Ensuring Integrity thread.
IMO they’re not bad per se, but I think they are lacking somewhat in variety. I think that the axolotl would better be used more as a mascot similar to Ferris from Rust, or Larry the Cow from Gentoo, as I’d also prefer a more abstract logo as well for slightly more official use (and admittedly I prefer mostly more abstract wallpapers and the Nix logo fits my current one nicely but it’s a bit difficult to fit any of the available options into the style, especially considering how recolours to fit different themes doesn’t rlly work with any of these logo proposals)

I’ve voted, and really appreciate the effort of those who submitted ideas, and those who organised the poll. It sounds like some mistakes may have been made, but we’re all learning.
I’m convinced Sigmund Freud would have an observation regarding some of the proposed designs.
Thanks, all.

Could this be considered too?

Agreed. All of them are a bit too complex. I probably will work on a really simple one over the next month to try and be on par with ferris.
Yeah… I had to work on the tail quite a bit for it to be as low on the radar as it is.

With a different color pallet, I’d vote for this!
