[xtm-wg] XTM Logo Vote Tally (Was: XTM logo)

[Murray Altheim <murray.altheim@eng.sun.com>]

I'm writing this message to report the results of the vote held in the
Authoring Group to adopt a logo for XTM. These results are reported below.
I await certification from the chairs as to their advocacy of the vote
results, so that we can move forward.

There was some confusion as to who was allowed to vote, and I sincerely
apologize for not making this clear. The charter does state clearly
about voting and non-voting members. Below I've shown all votes, and I'm
glad that either way, the decision was the same so that there should be 
no hard feelings.

The results are as follows:

---- votes from Participating Members:

From: Daniel Rivers-Moore <daniel.rivers-moore@rivcom.com> 
My vote is for Logo #1

From: "Eric Freese" <efreese@mn.mediaone.net>
#3

"Mason, James (MXM) " <mxm@ornl.gov>
I vote for #3.

-------- Tally ----------------------

  #1: 2
  #2: 0
  #3: 4
  #4: 3

If we were to count non-Participating Members, the tally would be:

  #1: 3
  #2: 1
  #3: 6
  #4: 4

I've posted a Very Large version of logo #3 at:

    http://www.doctypes.org/xtm/img/vote/xtm-logo3-lg.jpg

Later today I will create an assortment of black and white, greyscale
and color versions of this logo in a variety of sizes. I will also provide 
them in GIF, JPG and PNG versions. If even the huge version above isn't 
high enough quality and we still need an EPS version, I will hopefully next
week have time to produce an EPS version, although Michel (I believe) has 
volunteered (noting that an EPS created from a bitmap isn't quite the same
thing).

The fonts used (even the modified font in 'XTM') is Franklin Gothic,
The Demi Condensed and Heavy. For those trying to match the font in 
print.
