We are taking proposals for an OpenKinect community logo. Voting has concluded and now the top three finalists are revising their logo concepts based upon community feedback.
Finalists
Three finalist concepts were selected through a community vote. We are now asking finalists to update their images based upon community feedback. Anyone can provide feedback, either on the mailing list or the Logo proposals talk page.
On or about December 5th, Kyle Machulis (qDot), Hector Martin (marcan), and Joshua Blake (JoshB) will select a winner from the revised logo finalists.
Finalists please add to this section with your updated images. Community members should comment on the images on the talk page.

Here are a few ideas - trying to reflect openess, IR grid arrays and dual cameras.

I refined the typography and proportions to give the cleanest, most versatile representation of my design. I hope you like it!

Ken Moore's concept
High quality typography and layout (says "we're serious") with distinctive visual of the Kinect hardware.
Version 1 - stacked layout is more legible in narrow placements

Version 2 - horizontal layout has nice visual balance, but needs more width for legibility

Jonathan Hall's concept
Unfortunately, use of the "Kinect" name will likely be seen as trademark infringement. Microsoft registered "Kinect" as a word mark (meaning: a claim to use of the word itself, independent of how it appears) on goods and services related to "computer software, computer hardware, and computer peripherals." (See the USPTO registration dated 10/29/2009: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4007:k6ntdc.2.1 )
Tedious as it may be, we should consider alternatives. I propose an obvious adjustment--"OpenKinetic"--but there may well be better options out there. Below is my concept rendering both "OpenKinect" and "OpenKinetic" with simple typography, horizontal two-color layout, and a bug:

Carlos Asmat's logo concept
Below you can find my concept of the OpenKinect Logo. Of course, the name could be changed in order to avoid copyright infringements as long as the second word still starts with a "K".

Anthony Bloor's concept
update to the image posted to the mailing list, i decided to go with the green rather than the black but its easily changed, its designed for on screen graphics rather than print, i decided to go for something that might look good for an app icon. its not an svg, but it can easily be rendered at any resolution.
it might be nice to have different colours based on platforms too etc, but i only realised the logo deadline was today, so it was a bit of a rush!
- full size logo

- wiki icon size

- app icon that works better in a square format

Danilo Di Cuia's concept #1
(if you have seen my logos already please refresh your browser as I haven't change the names of the updated logos : ) )
Idea based on the Kinect sensors and its led:

Danilo Di Cuia's concept #2
The second idea is based on the 2 cameras point of views that forms the "K" of Kinect inside the "O" of open.

Here's an animation of the logo:

Jon Harsem's Concept
Everything is vector based. The kinect itself is not considered for the logo - but may form part of an icon set later. Mind you I take Jonathan Hall's point on the trademark issue. Perhaps OpenK will work ?
