Comments

The following conversation is taken from Wikivoyage/Logo 2013/Submissions#Option 23 - W-Plane:

Maybe make another version with either are darker background, or W. 99.245.192.218 23:07, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

I like the plane. Less the background. I would increase also the thickness of the circle. --Andyrom75 (talk) 06:20, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Road sign? 81.178.175.163 19:50, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

While it has an attractive simplicity to it, I don't like the W for two reasons. The "crashed V" font looks very similar to Wikipedia's W icon, and as mentioned for other submissions, W is not used in non-Latin language versions. --Peter ^Talk 21:05, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

C are far and away better than the previous one. I like them. Although you would sacrifice their simplicity (that is one strong point of that version), try to think on versions with one or two elements more, just to enrich it a little bit. I don't have tremendous idea at the moment :-) make&post some try, for example with four compass triangles on the circle (with the peak versus the outside), or maybe just two arrows with the head pointing the line of the circle itself as if the circle is rotating (to give an idea of moving). Something like that. --Andyrom75 (talk) 08:30, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

I like the C blue (I don’t really like the colors of C classic). Maybe you could try to add a shape of mountain under the plane? Fractal (talk) 10:07, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Here is something like what I have in mind: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HugoWikiVoyage1C-bis.png. Feel free to do whatever you want with it. Fractal (talk) 10:30, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not feeling very good about the width of the circle. The first proposal is so skinny that it's kind of hard to see, but I prefer it over the wider circle, which is clunky and too obvious. Can I see it with a circle with a width in between the two? Nick1372 (talk) 06:14, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

With the red circle, it looks like a "no airplanes taking off" or perhaps "no airplane traffic allowed" traffic-sign-style sign to European eyes. Amusing, but not really good for a Wikivoyage logo, I believe. In terms of logos comprising airplanes (slightly questionable - as if travel was only by airplane), I prefer Globe-trotter's submission by far. PrinceGloria (talk) 06:22, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

version Mountain Classic it's very nice. --Andyrom75 (talk) 23:23, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

The mountains are nice, thanks! But please, do not use the Meta-Wiki colors, Wikivoyage has nothing to do with Meta-Wiki and using the same colors is *very* confusing (at least I found it very confusing when I discovered Wikivoyage with the current logo). Fractal (talk) 13:52, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks everyone for your comments. Now I have to decide which one to submit. I'm still not sure whereas I should submit two color variations or only one logo. I think the mountain versions are the best looking indeed.HugoSalt 19:21, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

I think you should submit version "Mountain Blue". It's the best, IMO. If it gets accepted, you can always submit other colors in Round 2. Nick1372 (talk) 19:51, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

It's quite unlikely a passenger aircraft could achieve such a high climb angle, and if it could, it wouldn't do so anyway. --YMS (talk) 20:33, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

This is a logo, not a technical illustration, It is not required to be realistic. · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 20:54, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I like the blue one with mountains. Very nice. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:30, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I also think that the version Mountain Blue is the best one Fractal (talk) 15:36, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks everyone for your feedbacks :). --Hugo Salt 19:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Of course a logo doesn't have to be realistic, but if it says "We're not going to survive this", I don't think it's a good logo. --YMS (talk) 20:21, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to say that but they all look like information signs on an airport. --TMg 16:49, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

And aren't airports among the most used areas when traveling ? If it reminds airports, then it reminds travel, then it fits well the term "Voyage" ;). --Hugo Salt 19:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
