i like the red one on top

There are many really nice designs. It’s gonna be a tough choice. I wonder which one will win.

The big OSHW on the bottom sure isn’t as flashy as the rest but keep in mind it should be something that is simple enough to silkscreen/etch/laser engrave onto your hardware.

I like the black IC on the upper right

I vote the blue OSHW towards the middle.

Very hard to choose. I think I will recognize them all if I ever see them.

I picked the gears. I like the first of the three. Copyleft was next, but it just seems silly to me.

@Ben Ryves
If the copy left had any text nearby it would work. (see the other two examples below the red one)

None of them stood out to me all that much. I went with the OH gears as they were least bad so to speak.

Also, the voting page is horribly broken.

Copyleft chip is my vote, OH gears look somewhat defunct…

None of these are acceptable. The one I like best it the gear with the opening toward the top, though. While gears may not actually be a part of computers, they do signify hardware very well and of course, there’s more to hardware than computers. Copyleft is a good concept for incorporation into the logo but I don’t like the implementations here.

I don’t really think the final ten are that good honestly. A good logo will reproduce at a very small scale and still be legible. Most of these are way too detailed to do that. Also, none of them really convey open hardware without words next to them.

I guess if I had to pick one, it would be the “OSHW” one bottom center.

Copyleft chip, definitely.

The OSI-parody one (also popular), seems way too generic to me. I’d rather open hardware be thought of as independent from free/open source software (even though they’re both awesome), not just a spin-off of the FOSS ‘movement’.

There are far better logos on the full list than these 10 finalists. Sigh.

I like the bottom gear, without the text

My favorite was the open gear. I think it is the only one that has a logo that actually shows what it is: Open hardware. All the other ones are kind of lost on me little robot with eyes? No. Upside down flag and circle? No.

I sorta liked the gear wit the missing segment, until I realized it looked like a broken part. Broken is not something we would want associated with “open” anything. I now lean to copy left chip. I don’t seeing a reversed orientation being a problem if placement is paid attention to. Practically every pat has an obvious “up” direction. Fot example insure it’s near or matches other text on a circuit board, and so one.
