Yesterday you were invited to vote on a strapline for the SAFE Network. This vote is part of the preparations for the logo design competition on the 99designs platform.
We anticipated there to be a lot of support for the options presented in the vote and that either of these options would win the majority of votes. It turns out however that as of now around 25% of the voters don’t like either of the options presented. Judging by the discussion on this topic, a lot of community members have strong feelings about choosing the right strapline for the SAFE Network. We feel that by continuing the vote in its current form we would not do the right thing for the community.
New vote with additional straplines
We have cancelled the current vote and turned this voting topic into a topic where the discussion about the strapline can be continued. A new strapline vote with additional straplines chosen by the community will be initiated next week. This will fit in the timetable presented in the logo design competition topic.
The new vote will start Sunday, July 10 at 6:00 PM GMT. The vote will end a week later on Sunday, July 17 at 6:00 PM GMT. The community will be able to put forward strapline suggestions until Sunday, July 10 5:00 PM GMT.
Strapline suggestions for the final vote
A new topic has been created here. You can post your strapline suggestions in that topic. Every strapline that gets 20 likes or more will be included in the poll. We ask you to post just the strapline in this topic and to just like to straplines posted by others. The topic itself is not to be used to discuss the strapline suggestions. The discussions on strapline suggestions can be continued in this current topic.
Rules for the final vote
As mentioned above the final vote will run for exactly one week. Forum members with trust level 2 (Member) will be able to vote and change their vote until the vote closes. Once the vote closes the strapline with the highest percentage of votes will be chosen as the strapline. In case of a tie the decision will be made by the logo design committee.
We appreciate that not everyone may agree on cancelling the vote, and we’re sure that not everyone will agree on the strapline that will be chosen when the new vote ends Sunday, July 17. We feel that this is the way to ensure that everyone had a chance to contribute to the process of choosing a strapline for the SAFE Network.
