New WGA Logo Referendum, Round 1

[Jeremy]

The first referendum to obtain member input on a potential new WGA logo is now active. This referendum is to narrow the field of potential new logo designs to three. Go here to cast your vote… votes will be accepted through June 19th:

WGA Referendum Module

When voting, please remember that all design submissions should be considered concepts only, and they may be cleaned up, tweaked, “improved”, or made print-ready before being used as the actual WGA logo.

There will be a second referendum (round 2) immediately following this one where the three submissions receiving the most votes in this round plus the current WGA logo will be voted on.

Thanks to everyone who submitted new WGA logo designs for consideration, and we apologize for the delay in polling the membership about a new logo.

Just a procedural question. Should one of the designs receive a clear majority, will we still need to hold the second referendum?

Yes. Because we wanted to include the option of retaining the existing logo, and that will be included in the second round of voting.

That’s a very reasonable answer. Thanks for the quick reply.

Voting ends at midnight….so vote now or hold your piece.

Lots of people have already voted, and it will be close, so every vote counts.

With round one voting done what is the current schedule for the final round?

I would also like to know if Jeremy could re-establish the page showing all the entries and note the three winners to move to round two.

Thanks for that.

We’ve chosen not to publish the full results of round 1 until after round 2 (the final round) is complete. We want people to cast unbiased votes for what they think is the best looking logo, not shift their votes based on the first round results.

After the final round of voting is complete, I will make a results page that has all the submitted logos and the number of votes each got in both of the rounds.

Excellent idea!

Why was this not included in the first round?
