I am all for a competition, but I don't know about community vote.
How about community submissions, and voted on by the Arch devs, and TUs?
+1 - I think something like our logo should probably be decided on by the devs (and possibly TUs) - however the community, based on the afore-mentioned threads, seems pretty geared up to contribute their logo ideas.
Perhaps we should decide on some guidelines for submissions?
Something like:
1) Size: 128x128 (larger?)
Should be OK. Additionally it should look and fit well on CD cover designs (sample designs are welcome).
2) Should scale down to 16x16 (8x8? What's a good favicon size?)
Standard favicon size is 16x16 AFAIK, but logo should be readable even on 80x15 buttons that are very popular now.
3) Should be representable in 2 colours. 4) Should be an alternative representation of our current logo, or inspired from our current logo (ie. maintain the recognizability of the current logo)?
IMO it should not differ much from our logo. Why - because the shape of our logo is already well-know in Linux community. Something very different will need *much* longger time to get recognized as our logo by majority of people who knew old logo.
5) Anything else?
