The poll option pops up AFTER I already submit the thread. It takes a few minutes to put the links of the images in the poll itself. Patience people.

No, dammit, I expect for the poll to be up as soon as I waltz into the thread. : P

Good luck to all and vote for the one you like the most (which is mine).

thank you.

I voted for #4. #2 is a close second.

Must decide amongst so many beautiful entries.... :eek: HNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHH

I still think a Logo made up of 4 rotating icons would be good. :f3:

Bye feather :f4:

Is it too late to send in my modified one for phase 2?

I'm quite fond of number 4. Though 2 makes it a hard choice.

I like the first one, fourth comes close.

I really like #3.

I went with the first one.
The 2nd and 3rd reminds me of Skill Points, not South Perry.
The 4th one is nice, but its not "clean" and has too much going on.

I switched my vote to 4. While the Southperry link isn't obvious like the rest it looks very crisp and the reference in the anchor is funny. :f2:

1# !

Though I must admit I'm quite sad to see #3 in last place, It's definitely the most creative in my opinion.

The only Important Election going on is right here on SP!

That's exactly why I voted for the third one first. I agree it's the most creative out of the three but the SP to the left kills it for me because I think it'd look weird in 16 x 16 display with the SP to the left.

I, too, think the SP is completely unnecessary. It wasn't there in the original version, and I'm not sure why it got added in this fixed one. Can't recall anyone complaining that it was somehow lacking. The only complaints were about the color scheme.
Anyway, I still like #3 the best. Sad to see it trailing.

#4 is my second favorite.

#1 bothers me because hidden-street's byline is "the database takes flight". Why does Southperry have wings, then? Plus it still looks horrible in 16x16, which is the size that would actually appear on my browser tab header.

#2 doesn't need the SP in the corner either. Otherwise it's ok.

I don't understand the appeal to #4. Not only can you not see the S, but why an anchor? Also it doesn't incorporate the southperry blue and white.

The anchor is the town logo for the actual Maple Southperry.

My reasoning was rather like this:

Anchor= Ferry
S= South

S + Anchor= Southferry= Southperry

Speaking as someone that has dabbled a bit with those kind of icons though, I think that design stands out the most after #3 and it looks pleasant enough on its own without looking horrible in the normal format or looking a tad faded out. As for the blue and white, I'd prefer that the new logo incorporated those colours but hey, innovation's good too. :f3:

No... Please God no...

Not the ANCHOR.

I went with 2. I also like 4. 3 is good but it does not look as nice 16x16, and 1 looks messed up 16x16.
2,4,3,1

Quick question, how long will polling be open?

Mainly because I don't like #1, just doesn't feel right. #3 is an extractor, which is cool and all because that is a lot of the appeal of this site, but it doesn't have our colors and the letters are randomly placed. #4, I think it would be better if the S was in front of the anchor, instead of behind.

I like #2 because it looks like a skill in game, clearly has our colors, and I just consider it to be the best option of the group.

Maybe it shows that we "dust" away Mapler ignorance with our higher standards of threads and (mostly) intelligent discussion.

The anchor is the only one that makes sense. This site is named after the little port town that sends a player off to their adventure, their "Maple story," if you will. The anchor represents the, well, boating part, which is the main idea behind the city. Why would a site named after a port city have a feather or an extractor?

I will say it again.

If we're going to have a contest for a new logo, we might as well have a new logo.
Thus why I'm glad the anchor is winning.

I could see your logic. -thumbs up-

I agree, change the logo.

I already won the contest and that's all that mattered to me. : )

Nope, I'm being sincerely honest.

I agree that the logo needs changing, however I focused on winning the contest. Most people don't like change, that's why I just cleaned up the feather logo. It was really closer than I thought, but the feather still prevailed.

I just wanted to prove a point and that's what I got by winning the first round, people hesitate when given the option to change. Of course I didn't think I'd win a second round, because a lot of people start accepting something different after looking at it for a while or having others convince them. That's why I never bothered modifying my entry for a second.

Except it's by far one of the ugliest pieces up there at 128x128 and finding something scalable was one of the top priorities of this contest. Also has nothing to do with us as a site, sub-culture, community, whatever.

Because we have absolutely nothing to do with said port city beyond sharing a name, for one.

I think it was this comment that caused that actually.

Due to the quirks involved in this already being a revote I am allowing minor changes (especially since the entire point was to incorporate feedback) but...

Does this mean you'd like to withdraw your submission from the competition?

Ah, I see the extractor lost its SP. Probably too late, though.

Eh. People can change vote if they really care.

It may be too late but I stand by what I said earlier. Switched my vote again and it's final this time. :f3:

Nope, yours would just go back to "unvoted" and anyone who had previously voted for you would be redirected back here to redo from the remaining candidates.

Maybe the SP it had earlier on the top left scared people away.

Hmm... Sure, go for it, let's see if this makes things more exciting.

Alrighty. We'll see how this goes.

What's the story behind the feather?

Sorry, I'm lost at the moment.

None of those 3 is as good as the one we currently have.

Well people have adapted towards the current logo so much which is probably why people dislike the change.

Take the extractor out and make it only the top 2 gogogo

How many votes are we going to have?

Alloy obviously won the popular vote there and gets a Shirt.

@Eos, I'm sure this is a dumb question, but does this mean this vote is over (and that the anchor may, indeed, replace the feather)?

Since when has winning ever been a guarantee of replacing the existing?

Pretty much just asking if this contest is over.

I would think the vote being open or closed would answer that.
