Russell:

The Polymath wiki needs a logo.

Add links below to candidate images - it should be in a standard image file type, and available under a suitable copyright license.

If you have comments on the images, please add them to [[Talk:Logo]].

== SVG format, Public domain ==

Something a little less angular. Here's a [http://www.gribouillages.net/math/many_hands.png PNG] for viewing. If you want to play with the image, you can download the original [http://inkscape.org/ Inkscape] [http://www.gribouillages.net/math/many_hands.svg SVG]; you'll also need the free font [http://www2.wind.ne.jp/maniackers/coppepan.html Coppepan Choco AL].

Another proposal: [http://nfo.figgy.eu/POLYMATH/POLYMATH.png PNG] ([http://nfo.figgy.eu/POLYMATH/POLYMATH.svg Inkscape SVG])

Three variations of a same idea: [http://thomas1111.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/logo1-ts.png quite formal], [http://thomas1111.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/logo2-ts.png over two lines],
[http://thomas1111.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/logo3-ts.png collaborative spirit].

Adding some more in response to comments: [http://thomas1111.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/logo14-ts.png map-like less pixelized], [http://thomas1111.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/logo16-ts1.png puzzle]

A more simplistic [http://i.imgur.com/fZ6Ie.png poly math logo].

A play on polygons (3D shapes), multiple layers of data (wiki) and a solid base such as Math, I came up with this [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/126293/polymath-v1.png preliminary logo idea].

How about something simple like [http://cl.ly/3Y23180A1U2j3I0M2C1K.png this]. The sigma symbolizes the effort being a sum of many people's contributions.

Another take on the sigma, this time [http://i.imgur.com/FyOjx.png summing all math across the globe].

Please leave comments here, identifying your favourite, or favourites.

==My opinion==

I don’t like any logo of the suggested.

This is not as bad as the rest:

== Simple Logo ==

Here is a simple proposal: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Ns8fhSWnpeh0Hdm6rgum5g?feat=directlink

== Opinion ==

I particularly like the first logo to use the "Sigma" idea. It's simple and direct, but the Sigma conveys an interesting double message. I would perhaps like something a bit brighter, though.

How about something simple, involving mathematical characters? For example: http://tinyurl.com/3arb6wy
I just whipped this up in word so it's more of an idea that someone with photoshop skills may wish to take further

I like this new suggestion from Russell: http://ixitol.com/PolyMath2.jpg. Not sure the black background works, but the bright and varied colours are great. It suggests variation, but with an ultimate cohesiveness.
--[[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 18:46, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Maybe combine the bright colours of http://ixitol.com/PolyMath2.jpg with the "Sigma" idea from http://cl.ly/3Y23180A1U2j3I0M2C1K.png?

== Opining ==

Re "Maybe combine..."; That could work... perhaps send out a hi-rez 'sigma' image, to whomever is interested, for trying out various color schemes.
