I'll vote for 9 - Speech bubbles with hands.
It goes well with foss as it highlights volunteerism and having a voice - making a statement.

Two concern though -

1. We should use fonts which are free and open source.
   https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/
   http://openfontlibrary.org/
   http://www.google.com/fonts/
2. Do we need image in the logo or just text?

[gsama]

I did a reverse image search

Does not go well with foss unless the image is Creative Commons.

My vote for #9. The logo with the hands and Speech Bubbles.

[SwAtm]

#18, or #22

[yrm4foss]

My vote for #20. It shows three hands raised up in air under the stars. That could signify collective effort by multiple people to reach the stars/ excellence. Also, since they are not in a loop it signifies openness and inclusion; in line with our group values.

[526prasad]

My vote for #5 and #9

[digen]

My vote for 9 or 21.

@gsama @indieNik @hiteshd @SwAtm @yrm4foss Based on vote count shall we freeze on 9 ? If yes, then do we need check for plagiarism ?

[SwAtm]

We can freeze on #9.
If we can get someone to make slight changes, may be just swap between left and right, we can avoid copyright issues if any. So far as plagiarism is concerned, I have no idea about it.

Swami Atmapranananda

Yes, If anybody can take that as a base and work on it, it'll be great.
I don't know whether it will be still considered as plagiarism or whether
it will avoid copyright issues.

Yesterday, I put together a simple type style for the handout. Since most members present liked it, I propose it as logo. I have modified and changed it a little to make it better (hopefully).

"fosstr" uses Roboto font by Christian Robertson and is part of Google Open Source fonts - Apache License, version 2.0
Typeface: Bold
Spacing: Condensed by 1.0 pt

".org" uses Liberation Sans by RedHat which is GNU General public License
Typeface: Regular
Spacing Condensed by 5.0 pts

Logic of the Logo
The Logo is easily replicable in a LibreOffice Document without even having a jpeg. (By installing fonts and adjusting typeface and spacing.)
No copyright / plagiarism issues.
All lowercase font signifies technology - coding
I prefer the ".org" as it indicates that it is a community project and gives it more human feel. It also makes one feel the community is much larger than it is. (marketing) :)

[hiteshd]

I like the idea of a text based logo rather than a graphic logo since it avoids a lot of copyright issues. And that it is simple and to the point.

+1 from me for the idea

[SwAtm]

+1 for fosstr (sans .org)

Swami Atmapranananda
