+1. That's my only concern too.I thank Eclipse though for giving us an explanation for the rejected logos (as opposed to the name selection where we just got the two final names and no explanations).El sáb., 24 mar. 2018 9:02, Ondro Mihályi <ondrej.mihalyi@xxxxxxxxx> escribió:Thank you, Eclipse, for informing us about the planned process.Everything makes sense but one thing. In the context of recent criticism and recent Mike's blog post, the following sentence makes me worried:
"From this process, the list of candidate logos will be trimmed to 2-4 final candidate logos. We are targeting completing this process by mid-next week."Any other reason would put the community in doubts.- the community already voted from a longer list of logos and the poll is going to a second round to choose the final one from the 2-4 most popular ones- no other logos pass the legal and design criteriaIt sounds like there will be an arbitrary decision to evaluate all remaining logs that pass all validations and somebody will choose 2-4 logos they like most. I think all logos that pass validations should be offered to the community in a public poll, not just 2-4 of them. I see that there are already 7 logos marked as viable alternatives on this page: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Having a poll from 2-4 logos makes sense only if eitherJakarta_Logo_Submission Ondro______________________________2018-03-24 8:38 GMT+01:00 Markus KARG <markus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:Unfortunately things like "the lines are too thin" or "the colored dots are too small" had not been mentioned as criteria right from the start.

We can all be happy that a strong group of people like the Eclipse Foundation is doing this job. We, who are outside of the Eclipse Foundation, couldn't make this job. Maybe we could agree on a logo, but maybe we couldn't even do that....

Yeah I think they have been remarkably open about it. If you look at the submission page they even detailed why entries were nixed:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Jakarta_Logo_Submission
If you look at the reasons you’ll see they are pretty specific, and expertise based.
