I really like Ubiquibot to. The sketch of the new logo looks so cool.

I like Alex Faaborg’s Exoskeleton concept - think that really shows Ubiquity building on top of the web and adding to it.

Ubiquibot is the most unique one to me. I’d work with that concept.

I would vote for Ubiquibot.

But my one comment would be that plugs don’t have two prongs all around the world. My instinct says that this shouldn’t be an issue, particularly with the ubiquitous americanisation - but should be considered.

I think the Model Universe is strong and would get my second vote.

I have to admit, I think the others are varying levels of bad. The tree on the globe is cliched and makes me think of the environment and green issues.

The hand does nothign for me whatsoever. This does imply, however, that I’m missing something about it so perhaps a better sketch might suddenly click with me.

Enso-whirl, like you said - not enough on its own.

The world: ubiquity doesn’t build the world; it builds on top of the world. This one doesn’t work for me.

…and so having a US-centric plug on a logo that’s supposed to be about the world seems really bad.

The hand stuff: isn’t there a long-standing thing in UI design that you don’t include body parts, because some cultures find them offensive?

There’s a big problem with the Ubiquibot idea. You say “The power socket is universal for charging…” This may be true, but the shape is not. Currently, Ubiquibot plugs into a US-style NEMA 1-15 socket. Wikipedia has details of the 13 different types used around the world. The US one probably isn’t even the most common, the Euro one is.

Vote 1 for Ubiquibot
