I like #3 by @carlosbaraza. One caveat: the abbreviation for JavaScript is JS, but the abbreviation for WebAssembly isn’t WA, it’s wasm. Maybe put “wasm” instead of “WA” in the box?

[kentcdodds]

the abbreviation for WebAssembly isn’t WA, it’s wasm.

Maybe that's about to change? ;-)

[rauschma]

@kentcdodds Sure, why not. But pronouncing it would be more of a hassle.

[kentcdodds]

True... "double-u a" is a bit of a mouth-full 😞

[rauschma]

Maybe “dub-a”

[zennad]

Or, following wasm being pronounced "wah-sum",
should it be "wah"?

[arjun024]

My vote's for the black part of the design by @carlosbaraza (3rd). No to the blue ones.

[MikeNGarrett]

There doesn't appear to be a way to add reactions on the mobile version of github. If you're on mobile, you can switch to desktop at the bottom right of the page.

[adriantunez]

From the above, a really like the @carlosbaraza one. It is simply, neat and the detail in the box to emphasise the relation between JS and wasm is a plus!

[Turbo87]

One caveat: the abbreviation for JavaScript is JS, but the abbreviation for WebAssembly isn’t WA, it’s wasm.

@rauschma looks like that statement is true for all those proposals though 😉

[callumlocke]

Maybe “dub-a”

[oldfartdeveloper]

I like @Fogaccio. Looks good on everything and handles a variety of colors

[sethlopezme]

Just to give us an idea of what it would look like with "wasm" in the design by @carlosbaraza (3rd), I threw these examples together. Personally, I think the only one that really works well is the lowercase "wasm" (bottom left), but you lose the play on the angles between the capital W and capital A.

[rossberg]

@sethlopezme, I like it. The lowercase version is the only adequate one anyway (I wish people would stop shouting WASM -- it's not an acronym but a contraction).

[cpatti97100]

great job, they're all wonderful anyway

[ratishphilip]

Hi,
It feels a great honor to be selected as one of the top five. Thank you very much.

Just wanted to say this, my logo contains all the letters of WASM

May the best logo win!

[TheLarkInn]

#3 well thought out, inspired and creative, yet simple and easy for anyone to understand

[link0047]

I like #1

[distransient]

It's not necessary to leave comments just to voice your support 😛 let your votes speak for each submission, so you don't accidentally spam peoples notifications

[carlosbaraza]

This is the repository to my CC0 licensed logo proposal: https://github.com/carlosbaraza/web-assembly-logo

@s3ththompson I like the approach. I tried to do something similar when I was designing the logo. These are some of my previous attempts, trying to fit wasm in the boxed logo:

Some pitfalls:

• It breaks a bit the relation with the JS boxed logo, as it has more than 2 characters
• The text is too small to be read properly when the logo displayed small (e.g. favicons, attributions, etc.)

[sabertazimi]

awesome job!

[adalberth]

The one by @ratishphilip

[ngerritsen]

I vote for #3. Simple clean and a good fit, others are nice too btw!

[leimonio]

Amazing job with all the logos! #3 though really got me, simple and perfect fit with the rest community's logos.

[loslch]

I like #1 (@Fogaccio) 👍 especially color and shape.

[jamiebuilds]

Now we have to do this one.

[Malm]

👍 @carlosbaraza

[bobajeff]

I still think it should either be a pure logomark or the logotype should say "WebAssembly" or "wasm". That or make"WA" ('double-yew ay') the official shorthand and file extension (.wa). Also, not fond of how all of the logos insistence on using all caps.

[SamVsCode]

Please let it be the last one. It would look so cool on my laptop as a sticker. @ratishphilip i hope you win.

[yoda]

@ratishphilip
but its a little screwy for color blindish

[joshuapassos]

#1

[mdxprograms]

The simple black on white minimal design by @fstark looks great and good on anything.

[giorgiobeggiora]

#3 for me

[mbebenita]

Just wanted to point out that @Fogaccio's logo reads as VM, if you rotate it 180 degrees, which is kinda fitting.

[shakepompom]

#1

[marianban]

#1

[ndrau]

I like @Fogaccio 's Design👍🏼

[sshaw]

Logo 3 only works when the JS logo is included. Otherwise, please no 👎.

[InstanceOfAnObject]

I vote for the third because is the only one that is clear and aligned with the rest of the ecosystem.
The first one is also nice but for someone looking at it out of context is can mean anything... it could even represent a trident and a pyramid :)

[twknab]

Where can one without exposure to wasm/wa get some exposure? Curious...any good intros or basic projects out there to play?

[urrri]

[rossberg]

@s3ththompson I like the approach.

@carlosbaraza, I suppose you meant @sethlopezme.

[mackiedrew]

#3 for sure, so simple

[tyler-c]

#3

[tsirolnik]

Dropping my logo again, it had many good reactions back then on the other issue

[distransient]

Honestly, it's a crime that parts of the working group have led a coup that refuses to add the logo proposed by @tsirolnik, which received a majority of the body's votes. Shameful

[carlosbaraza]

@distransient @tsirolnik I like it for the following reasons:

• Gradient
• Play of words
• W for the crown and B for, well, that.
• AWESOME
• Shapes

[jfbastien]

Two weeks are up, congrats @carlosbaraza on the beautiful design!

Final 👍 count 1228 / 134 / 1496 / 91 / 269.
