About Logos
It might be a good idea to read up a bit before voting. WikiPedia has some good information on Logo design and some common mistakes and links to some really good articles like this one.
Also it would be worthwhile to read this classic essay by Paul Rand. Here's a summary:
- A logo is a flag, a signature, an escutcheon.
- A logo doesn't sell (directly), it identifies.
- A logo is rarely a description of a business.
- A logo derives its meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolizes, not the other way around.
- A logo is less important than the product it signifies; what it means is more important that what it looks like.
he goes on to say that a logo depends on the following qualities to function
- distinctiveness
- visibility
- useability
- memorability
- universality
- durability
- timelessness
About the entries
- All entries have had their author's names removed, and have been placed in random order.
- Authors are allowed to replace their entry during the course of the contest; however, all previous votes for that entry will be removed. (please do not alter anyone's work besides your own)
- Authors may choose to withdraw their entries at any point in the contest.
- Some authors have chosen to submit multiple treatments of the same logo (i.e., a main logo, a fav icon, etc.). In this case, the entry has been labeled, and the main logo displayed. You can click on the image to view the full treatment.
About voting
In the second round you can choose one logo. Votes from the first round do not count, you will have to cast your vote again. Votes can be changed during the voting period and authors can vote for their own logos. Votes will only be accepted from logged in users and admins have full discretion for determining vote validity.
There will be two rounds of voting. The first round has decided the top 3 semifinalists. The second round, currently in progress, will determine which of the entries will become our new logo. In the event of a tie in either round, voting continues until a tie-breaker vote is cast.
Voting in the SECOND round will closed on 2005-08-16T04:00Z (August 16 00:00 AM (midnight) EDT). |

Puzzle Logo
IMHO, the horizontal treatment is really great. I also like how the puzzle theme echoes wikipedia, which is a positive association. -- Stanwiki 6:23 PST 8/10
Something I've been toying with:
A quick color study (seriously, I made these all within 10 minutes):
- Fakenonexistantimage.png
I'm open to any ideas, be sure to post (on this page) what colors you think should go where; I'll make a sample ASAP
These are symbols taken from the mapmaking expedition. Because they are svg, I can put them in and out of the logo at will.
- Fakenonexistantimage.png
I'll take any ideas and vectorize them ASAP
Wow, the horizontal treatment looks fantastic also. As for the colors, they can be fine tuned. This communicates what wiki is about.
Very nice! The colors are a bit, um, Microsoft-y though — I'm reminded of the Windows logo... and I don't think this will scale down very well. Jpatokal 21:48, 26 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- Oh man, I just decided to look. I haven't much paid attention to the windows logo/emblem whatever, but I decided to do a quick google search. Unfortunately it seems that the results would suggest that this is way too close. -- Mark 05:31, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- I don't think Microsoft can really copyright the idea of juxtaposing primary colors in a square, or otherwise they'll have to sue my 4th grade art teacher too. The order of the colors is (slightly) different and 'puzzle' idea is also original. But legal issues aside, this certainly does seem to invoke a "Microsoft Wikitravel" feel, which is not exactly what we want to convey...! (Where do you want to go today?) Jpatokal 05:47, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Agreed, conveying a relationship with m$ is off my list. At any rate though it's true that they can't copyright the idea, but they certainly can and have trademarked the idea (for use with operating system software). -- Mark 05:51, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
This is such an obviously strong image by itself that it seems unecessary to say so, but I'll say it anyway. -- Mark 23:27, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Very distinctive. A strong branding statement. I think a color study of this would be interesting; trying the logo with different color schemes? Thoughts?
One of the good things about it is that some specific details can be changed, but it still has the same feel. Some people have suggest changing some of the symbols to non-transport travel things, like a bed. Colors can easily be changed; it looks ok even with the colors removed. To scale it down, we could have just one puzzle piece with a W in it, for like a favicon. --18.104.22.168 01:24, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I believe that Evan's a bit busy with other things right now, so I'm going to add his comment from the talk pages that he's concerned that using a puzzle theme in our branding could cause confusion about our relationship with WikiPedia, or rather the lack thereof. I'd like to know what some WikiPedians think about that.
That said, I'd also like to point out that the Compass Star below is in effect a treatment of exactly this logo the logo being just the text part, especially if the puzzle tabs were to be put back in between the compass tabs. The reason I say this is that we use the same font, so the actual logo part of the logo is exactly the same between the two. The colours would need to be adjusted in both and the kerning in this one, but otherwise you could use a puzzle-like compass star along with this as part of a branding scheme. -- Mark 04:03, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I like this one a lot as well- just the colors are M$... Nicamds 15:15, 5 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I want to re-iterate that I think that puzzle pieces tread a little too closely to Wikipedia's logo. --Evan 16:02, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Given time, for the next round of voting, I'm going to do multiple versions in different colors. I'm also going to list separately a bunch of possible mini logos that can be put into the logo. --User:Comrade009
Second round comment: this is such an excellent logo, but I just can't vote for it. I just don't like the idea of using Wikipedia's puzzle-pieces. --Evan 09:28, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I especially like the version "gradients". It could perhaps be worked to add even more the idea of a globe. It would be worth trying as four objects: car (or plane), bed, food, person" (now too much focus on transport) −Woodstone 14:41, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- I feel this is the best logo by far. Is it really that similiar to Microsoft's logo? When you think about it, all logos are very similiar in design; what distinguishes them is the concept behind them. Microsoft's logo conveys the ability to open and close programs at will, hence, "Windows", while this logo conveys the different aspects of travel that, when put together, form a complete trip. Just because they share similar colour schemes and a vaguely similar shape doesn't mean that they are the same at all. Secondly, what's so bad about treading on Wikipedia's design? The idea behind a multilingual Wiki in the first place goes hand-in-hand with the idea of puzzle pieces. If you want to revoke the similarity between this site and Wikipedia, then you might as well change the name from WikiTravel, and the fact that it uses MediaWiki. Finally, the other logo, Mark's, is (and somebody else pointed this out, too) totally vague and far off from the principles of Wiki which the logo was supposed to convey in the first place. I mean, seriously, WikiTravel isn't a corporation, the logo doesn't need to be aesthetically pleasing from the sides of buses and buildings, or when shrunk down and branded on pens, I thought the logo was supposed to promote the idea of delving in and contributing. Yes, Mark's logo is versatile, but any logo could communicate aspects of travel if it were manipulated in a certain way, a sphere could, a box could, a triangle could, but the logo doesn't describe anything about the site.--Klestrob44 17:38, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Read the Paul Rand essay. The idea is to have something that is distinct and easy to remember. -- Mark 01:34, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Even better, read our goals and non-goals. You need to take some time to understand what we're trying to do here. If you think the logo for this contest is just supposed to show up in the upper-left corner of every Web page, you're mistaken. At the very least, it should fit into a favicon.ico file, but Wikitravel has been meant from day one to be published in multiple media and multiple ways. A versatile logo is absolutely necessary. --Evan 08:38, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- This logo is the best. It is the only one that catches my eye. I have to disagree about being too close to Wikipedia's logo and for all you anti MS, give it a rest. You can't help but be drawn to it especially against the other two candidates. The other candidates in my opinion look stuffy and corporate. The Gradients is nice and I also very much like the horizontal logo. --CH 16:14, 10 Aug 2005 (CST)
- It's not an anti-Microsoft thing; it's just too close to their logo. --Evan 08:38, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- A quick question- why is it necessary to adhere to the gospel of Paul Rand? There are plenty of logos that defy his principles and are among the most recognizable. That is beside the point, however, because this logo is distinct, easy to remember, and extremely versatile, as demonstrated above. --Klestrob44 18:34, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT).
- The puzzle logo is clearly the best! It connotes travel really well, it has a folksy appeal appropriate to a community site, it is memorable and engaging. -- Socaltransplant
- I dig this logo, but I have to agree on the WikiPedia thing. Its not a matter of treading on their logo or anything like that, its just what was pointed out earlier - we don't have a realationship with WikiPedia except for the fact that we use the same software. I don't know that its neccessarily a bad thing to be thought of as being related to something as successful as the WikiPedia, but it can cause some confusion, as I'm sure nearly anyone that has spent any time watching changes come through can admit. Like I said, I hope Evan gets a spare moment before the voting closes to comment on this point directly. I will admit I'm having a difficult time deciding. :( Ilkirk 23:28, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- I can comment on the issue directly: I really, strongly dislike the implied relationship to Wikipedia. I don't think it's fair to either project to have that implied link. At the very least, it makes us look like wannabes who can't stand on their own reputation. That's not the message I want to send out to the world. I think the contributors to this project deserve better than that. --Evan 08:26, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- having people inadvertantly think that we have a relationship to wikipedia is not necessarily a bad thing. Many people who don't know what a wiki is will have used wikipedia. People new to this stuff will probably end up thinking this is like wikipedia anyway, logo or not. The differences are really superficial to most people not keen on details, mainly 1)we're not part of the wikimedia foundation (i don't see how this matters) and 2) we have a different license (we have a "Welcome, wikipedians" page explaining the difference. And to be honest, we really do have a noticeable informal relationship with wikipedia. Many people coming to this project came first from wikipedia (I, for example), and we link to wikipedia all the time. I don't see how this will confuse people, besides in a semantic sense. --Comrade009 00:13, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Confusing people with similar names and logos is unfair to readers and contributors of both projects. If it happens accidentally, so be it. But I think we should avoid doing it on purpose. --Evan 08:26, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I understand that this logo has a lot of support among voters, but I've got a few major issues with it:
- The style and colour scheme are dated; it's very late 80's, early 90's.
- The logo is too busy and won't scale well.
- The logo is too obvious. The best logos are vague and have strong shapes, but not strong literal visual elements. This is important, because it allows marketers (and the public) to change the logo's meaning over time, so they won't date (i.e. timelessness). Think of the world's biggest brands. How many of them include literal representations of their products? Literal logos (i.e., those that show literal, pictorial representations of their product or key messages) lock you into a fixed brand image that can never be changed, and also have connotations of small businesses. While this usually isn't a bad thing (and I understand the comments above that WikiTravel doesn't need a 'corporate' logo), when it comes to travel guides, this impacts on credibility (see point 5 below).
- It has, as Socaltransplant notes "a folksy appeal". I agree entirely with that comment, but unlike Socaltransplant I don't see this as a plus, in fact I see this as a drawback. From a branding point of view, the stereotype of the "folksy" (and somewhat 'daggy') traveller is one that might be best avoided for a project as broad-minded, global and dynamic as WikiTravel.
- Partly because of its 'folksy' nature, and also because of the primary colours and cartoon-eque map symbols, this logo lacks authority. This should be a major goal for branding a travel guide, because the most important element of a travel guide's brand value is its accuracy, reliability and credibility. The main question travel guide consumers ask themselves when faced with multiple travel choices is: "Can I trust this information?" This is made even worse for WikiTravel, that may face the challenging public preconception that a community guide will never be as accurate as one published by professional travel writers.
These points may seem like some fairly harsh criticisms, but I hope they're taken in the right way. This puzzle logo is good, but I just think WikiTravel has massive potential, and I'm keen to see it get a logo that will help realise it. There's nothing wrong with aiming for a logo that is just as strong as travel guide brands. Allyak 09:13, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- I am a regular Wikipedia contributor, and I love the association the puzzle logo provides. I love the community pride in the postings on that that site, and this one as well. The loose similarity of the logos seems appropriate, given the loose similarity of the sites. While the two are somewhat different, both involve similar expectations of their contributors, and provide similar value to their users.
We must not associate ourselves with Wikipedia! The confusion is not harmless. We often get people who think "oh, this is just like Wikipedia, so I'll copy some intro paragraphs from Wikipedia's Walla Walla, Washington page to start out the Wikitravel Walla Walla article." That is a copyright violation, and must be noticed, verified, and deleted by an editor here. It is rude to copy Wikipedia's stuff in violation of Wikipedia's copyright; we want to do whatever is needed to prevent that. Having a look to the Wikitravel web site which discourages that association in people's minds is a Good Thing. Does a puzzle make you think about Travel? No, it makes you think of Wikipedia. And we should avoid that. We love Wikipedia, and we need to act on that by actively discouraging the unwitting yet improper taking of Wikipedia's hard work. -- Colin 19:22, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- A puzzle makes me think of putting something together, piece by piece. Drawing people into wikitravel is a good thing, and it far outweighs the risk that someone might inadvertantly copy something they should've. Plus, anyone who stays around wikitravel long enough to actually start a new article will learn how wikitravel is different from wikipedia. And honestly, if wikitravel was supposed to be just like wikipedia, then why would they even been separated? People will find out fast enough that they are different. That's why we have this page and this page. --Comrade009 19:32, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- This is a travel guide, not a puzzle. Also, I assure you I have deleted accidental Wikipedia-copyvios on MANY MANY occations. Not all wikipedians notice or read the Welcome to Wikipedians; and we only copy it into their talk page if we have reason to think they might be one, which is rare. Just the other day User:luvdapug copied an image from Wikipedia and failed to note the source of the image. I only noticed because it was suspiciously professional. So I had the joy of doing the research and checking out the issue. In this case, the Wikipedia image claims to be in the Public Domain, so it's okay. But I had to go figure that out myself because the user made an innocent error and thought we were alike enough with Wikipedia for that to be ok. It's a fine logo Comrade, it's just too easily confused. -- Colin 19:41, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Diagonal W
I like the idea behind this one a lot, although the implementation needs some work (mostly just being turned into vector image) and the font is not very good. I can see the un-rotated version on the spine of a book, for instance. Jpatokal 23:54, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Yes, it's really slick, and quite pretty. I agree that the text has to change. Of course it doesn't say anything about the wiki process, but that may really not be so much of an issue. -- Mark 04:36, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Oh, and I agree with Jpatokal that it should probably be un-rotated. -- Mark 04:49, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
What? It looks much cooler rotated and the text is fine. The text doesn't need to be stylish to look good. Bob rulz 06:27, 5 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Regarding the "rotated" perspective view, it makes the rectangle a horizontal surface, i.e., a landscape, and the W is a road. The flat view doesn't have that. -- Paul Richter 02:07, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Text font can be improved AnyFile 15:32, 7 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I like this concept the best, but how about using the font from Owl's logo? Greenman 16:50, 7 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- If you mean the original mix of "handwriting" and "corroded typewriter" fonts, I don't care for either, especially in logos.(Corroded typewriter is far too overused for "edgy" Gen-X stuff.) And I'm apparently in the minority here, but I don't like the "coolvetica" font that for some reason is being used in both other logos as well as some other first-round ideas. Am I the only person who thinks the "fish-hook t" is atrocious? -- Paul Richter 01:57, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- I didn't like the handwriting-printed mix either, but I do like Coolvetica, esp. with the more 'adult' capital W as in Mark's latest logo. It's distinctive and a bit funky but still elegant. The bolded italic Lucida-Condensed-y font in your logo, on the other hand, is too bland and corporate-eighties for me. Jpatokal 02:23, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Clean, clear, attractive. My only negative is that it looks too commercial, I would assume it is for a travel agency, rather than a WikiProject. Eoghanacht 16:04, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- This is really great, but again, very Latin-1. --Evan 16:06, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Interesting way to put it. The "Wikitravel" logotype of course could be localized to any script, and the font choice is flexible too; I just personally prefer modern sanserif fonts for logos. As for the "W", I think that no matter what the language or script, the association of "W" with Wiki is very strong and will still hold. (Wikipedia's favicon is just a serifed "W", in all languages.) And the "W" form is a path that gets bent this way then that way, but in the end follows a straight path -- that's the "Wiki" symbolism in this logo. -- Paul Richter 01:44, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- To me — and one of the reasons I like this — it's got a blue sky, a green forest, and either a white beach or a road in the middle. And I agree that localizing this is not a problem. Jpatokal 02:23, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Well said, Paul. I've been pretty averse to "W" logos for this reason, but as you point out it also has an ideographic sense. My objections retracted. I'd vote for this one if I wasn't already emotionally attached to the rose below. --Evan 10:24, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Compass Star
Too generic. Could be a logo for anything, such as beauty supplies or facial tissue. It's not obvious at all that these are compass points.
- Really? I would tend to think that beauty supplies probably don't have much to do with a compass star. Of course the thing to remember is that the thing the logo represents is more important than the logo, the logo is mearly a mnemonic: The easier it is to remember the better. -- Mark 04:58, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- You might want to check out this version: Image:Logo_compass_star_shades_of_greyblue.png. -- Mark 05:04, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Pretty versatile logo, as Mark has already demonstrated. You can modify the composition in any way but it still has the same feel. Can be easily adapted for merchandise, the web, fav icons, etc. Good work. --Comrade009 15:52, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Very, very smooth implementation! You've obviously put a lot of thought into it and I like the 2nd row (text on lower right), but for favicon/tiny logos the "w" should be in the same place, not above. The font is also very professional-looking. The only thing I don't like about this is that it's kinda generic, the connection to travel is not that obvious. Jpatokal 23:54, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Thanks for the kind words Jpatokal! The answer to both of your concerns is that this image is meant to be a Compass Star, to be placed on a map. The version with the "w" above would be put on maps, with the "w" for "wiki" replacing the traditional "N" for "North". You are quite correct that there would need to be a small version with a "w" next to the star as well.
To me the fact that the emblem part is a compass star for a map pretty much says travel, as do the fact that you can imagine the two bits travelling through the air. Of course I can totally understand why you might not see it that way.
By the way, as noted above: if the puzzle logo were ultimately selected we could just add the puzzle concept back (and adjusting the colors) into this one and still use it as a compass star in part of a wider branding scheme, especially since the actual logo part (the text) is exactly the same. Get out a copy of a Lonely Planet to see how their logo (mostly type, with a circle) and their Compass Star work together. -- Mark 04:14, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
This Logo is a Logo - elegant, good colours, well scalable, big recall value - simply great work. --PhilipP 07:31, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I think this is by far the best logo. It doesn't depend on typography; it has a minimal set of colors; it's pleasant to look at and as Mark showed with some other images we can change the compass parts into paper airplanes and back again. I'd love to see this become the next Wikitravel logo. --Evan 16:08, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- I forgot to mention: Mark, would it be at all possible to use a capital "W"? --Evan 09:29, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- You know, I think that is better. Thanks! -- Mark 09:46, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
This one does not evoke the idea of travel. The compass star is hardly recognisable as such. It contains way too much text and that will become unreadable at the size a logo should be allotteed on screen. −Woodstone 14:35, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Really? OK, read the Paul Rand essay. -- Mark 01:37, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- I agree that the compass rose, and thus the travel connection, is not obvious. A compass rose itself is not a very common thing, and might even be casually confused with other similar emblems like a Christian cross or a fleur-de-lis which carry a lot of symbolic meaning.
- However, as a logo, that doesn't bother me much because it stands on its own a a good, solid graphic form -- there's no need to rely too much on overt representational symbolism. And it works well with or without the text. -- Paul Richter 02:25, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Yeah, the cross thing bothers me about this design, but it's pretty unavoidable, since the traditional compass star is derived from a star of Bethlehem design which is supposed to forshadow the cross in Christian iconography anyhow. That's the reason I separated the two halves. Of course adding in NW and SE somehow would help too. -- Mark 04:58, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Just a quick comment: the fact that the colors are shades of blue doesn't really do much to save on printing costs. The cheapest way of printing is spot color, where an image uses three or four total colors, and each ink is printed separately. Getting these shades of blue requires mixing blue ink with other inks, which is more expensive. --Comrade009 21:12, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Halftones. This would be done with halftones. It's true that more spot colors would make it prettier since one could dispense with the halftones, but here you have the option of using just one, or just one plus black. Trust me, I've done this stuff for years. -- Mark 01:37, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)
The compass logo looks like it belongs to an insurance company. Boring! And let's be honest...if you asked a hundred people what the logo symbolizes, maybe two people would guess a compass...it's not at all intuitive. -- Socaltransplant
By far the best logo on offer. Why? Well, after reading my comments about the puzzle logo above, this entry satisfies many of my requirements:
- It's not too literal. A logo doesn't need to accurately symbolize the product / service it's trying to brand. The Nike Swoosh doesn't look like a shoe and it's arguably the strongest brand on the planet. Great logos don't convey meaning, they evoke feeling. The benefit of a non-literal logo lends credibility, cultural neutrality and timelessness.
- It's authoritative and suggests credibity. In my comments above I discuss how important this is for a travel guide, and the use of compass star--a symbol usually found on maps--is a clever way to capitalise on the credibiltiy and authority that most people associate with cartographic symbols.
I agree with other comments above that this logo maybe a little boring, but it will serve WikiTravel well, build a strong brand and is open to dozens of variations. Allyak 09:42, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Per my comment above, I think this logo is not nearly as useful as the puzzle one, which captures the Wiki spirit while showing that Wikitravel is different. SophisticatedLady
I think that of the three remaining logos this is definitely the one with the most potential. However, I don't think it's finished and, as far as I know, neither does Mark. Here are my ideas:
- Mark was quite enthusiastic about the type (based on my handwriting) of my logo which was just pipped by the "W" logo to the second round, so I'd like to see a version containing that text at some point.
- Green-and-blue (as per the original logo) has a certain power as it is the colour combination people usually associate with the Earth.
- I'm not happy with the idea of a "W" replacing "N" on maps. "W" could stand for "west" and it is quite possible to see maps with west oriented at the top. Although it would be kind-of fun to have west marked rather than north on all the maps.
- I really don't like "The Free Travel Guide" -- especially capitalized thus. It's almost identical to WP's slogan. Personally I'd drop that thing altogether and just stick with "Wikitravel".
- It would be nice to combine this with the success of Comrade009's logo in some way too. I know the Coolvetica was originally inspired from there, but maybe we could use some of the symbols or something.
Good luck, Mark! -- Owl 14:42, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)

A beach hut with a private spa and Indian Ocean views at Yallingup is your base for sipping peach-scented chardonnay from Margaret River.
Golfing greens look on to eucalypt-scented valleys in the Blue Mountains, where rainforest bushwalks lead to tumbling waterfalls in sandstone canyons. Turreted luxury mansions and alpine-style chalets nestle amid pines in the Adelaide Hills, and shiraz grapevines lead to the picket-fenced farms of artisan cheesemakers in the Barossa Valley. Step into Tasmania's colonial landscape in the lush Derwent Valley, for clipped hedges and English oaks shading Georgian country houses.
Experience a holiday in Australia with Small Luxury Hotels of the World, where minimalist chic decor blends with colonial architecture at a waterfront hotel, and a luxury beach house on a tropical island has an oceanfront spa.
The Laneway Festival has announced a packed line-up for its trip to Adelaide in January, with Frightened Rabbit among the headliners. More
British electronic musician and producer Bonobo is to perform at Adelaide's The Gov venue in January in support of his new album. More

Don't care except for Wobbuffett. Wobbufett has to be a lady
Because i use attract a lot, i need both genders and a genderless cyrgonal. So no ^_^
I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
If you have a question about my religion, feel free to ask me or check any of these links:
i catch any gender in the game unless im trying to get frosslass or galade
Helpful to our local community and to the serebii community :3
Sometimes I prefer a certain Pokemon to be a certain gender... like, for example: all my Roselia, Ampharos, Vulpix and Plusle have to be female; Gyarados, Beedrill, and Minun are male. It's just how I see those Pokemon.
Sometimes a Pokemon has to be a certain gender if I plan to give it a certain name, although I did name a male Togepi "Misty".
But usually, no, I don't care.
I admit it, sometimes I do. It depends on the Pokemon. xD
In all my Pokemon games, The pokemon I catch, Are all males...
I feel HORRIBLE right now...o-o
SonicLife is my name, And Burning way past cool is my game!
I don't really care which gender I use, unless, like others, its for a specific evolution the pokémon looks extremely masculin or feminine.
Current Shiny Hunt: -----
I have claimed Funky Kong and Super Mario Sunshine!
I have a Fairy Type Safari with Kirlia, Jigglypuff, and Clefairy!
Thanks Lost Requiem
I really don't care what gender they are but I like to keep my main team to have a gender ratio of 3:3 or 4:2.
(template from Jerkfighter)
i dont care, but females do have less HP.....
my b/w 2 team:
black 2:
white 2 :
Usually i'll have males and one female on my team. I don't know why it happens but it does.
Otherwise if it male/female looks nicer then i'll catch it
Spoiler:- Credit:
I catch Pokemon based on gender, but by how that Pokemon appears. Gardevoir looks quite feminine, like get a female one; and Lucario appears more masculine, so I get a male one.
That's how it works for me at least.
does not matter to me....I catch either.
I catch both.
Just a note for the future. Any time you open with "Not to sound racist/sexist/homophobic/[insert here], but..." whatever follows the but pretty much winds up being [insert here].
It depends. Sometimes, I will really want my starter to be like me, female, but these days I don't really care. I simply set up a proper nickname for either sex and use what works. I try to keep my team relatively even in terms of boys and girls though; let's say, three girl 'mons, and three boys. But that's because Attract is a pain in the butt to deal with.
I don't mind a pokemon's gender, but for my signature pokemon that'd always be my favorite of the team, I'd make sure that it'd be male like me. It's just a thing that your best friend is usually of the same gender but that's what I do in the games.
For my storyline/adventuring team, I am usually more conerned with nature, than gender. Filling out the Dex, however, I usually catch females, so I can breed something ideal, instead of hunting down something passable. Of course, then I get to the daycare with no males
"C'mon guys, back to route 1. Try not to kill everything."
I don't try to get certain genders, but I usually end up getting mostly males (Except for my Black 2 playthrough, where I coincidentally got all females.).
Shinies:Spoiler:- Claims and Credits:
Usually it doesn't matter. When it's a pokemon like MR.Mime or misdreavous, i get a little picky. How can MR. Mime be female? Or Jynx be male?
Credit goes to Mochi10 for the team pose and trophy
Credit goes to PPL for the life of pokemons
How could this possibly be sexist?
Anyways I generally don't care, it is pretty much just a symbol above their name. The only uses for it are Attract which is a terrible move anyways, breeding which I just use a ditto 95% of the time, and sometimes aesthetics. I refuse to use a male Milotic because I want the longer hair.
Usually, the nature matters more to me. I usually end up with an equal mix of genders on my team though, haven't had an all-male or all-female playthrough so far.
3DS Friend Code: 2337-4080-6077 | Friend Safari (Poison): Cascoon, Venomoth, Muk
I just catch whatever I find, though in White 2 I got an all female team. I didn't do it intentionally(Except Emboar and Bisharp, who I wanted females of) but it was kind of funny. Other than that my teams are random.
Name: Specter
Adopt one yourself! @Pokémon Orphanage
Credit to Equal-To-Heaven for the Shiny Darkrai clock!
No way, All my pokemon must be female. At least the ones i'll use.

project earth recuitment
We are Now Recruiting
The Cerulean Entertainment Team is proud to announce that we are seeking talent to fill several openings for our game, Project Earth. But first, we would like to tell you a little about the project. What Is Project Earth? Project Earth is an upcoming FPS that takes place in the near-future of North America, during an invasion of hostile aliens, who use their technology combined with their inhuman intellect to bend lifeforms to their will, manipulating the very building blocks of life in order to bring forth unnatural horrors that do battle in their behalf. Their biotechnology warps the natural flora and fauna of the planet, remaking it to their image. You will take on the role of a soldier while he is forced to make use of every last technique and trick he has learned to survive not only against the alien monsters, but also against our inner monsters that come out in moments of crisis, lost inhabitants of a world gone mad, and his own fraying nerves, which will make him question if the people he is trying to save are even worth fighting for. As the story progresses, the player will learn more about the enemies�s nature and their dark purpose. It will weave fact and fantasy, using a backdrop of known places and U.F.O Sightings, to create a blend of realism and science-fiction to present the player with a fantastic but coherent setting, which will be reflected in its mix of realistic, and futuristic weapons. It will take a page of the �old school� book of level design to avoid railroading the player by allowing for exploration and more strategies than one to complete a given mission, as well as environmental storytelling. Open Positions We are currently looking to fill the following positions: 3D Modeler - We need dedicated individuals to help us build our many assets. Our existing modelers have risen admirably to the challenge, however we need more to ensure we can make our deadlines, and so each modeler can concentrate on a given area. Texture Artist - Our modelers have been pulling double duty working as texture artists as well. Since this is a fairly ambitious project that will undoubtedly require a great many assets, we need dedicated texture artists to help make our assets aesthetically pleasing, so that our modelers can concentrate solely on creating more assets. Animation - We have a dire need for animators to help us bring our creations to life. Of special interest to us are those that can create in-game cutscenes, player/NPC movements, facial animations, and lip-sync, but we would welcome any assistance you can provide in this department. C++ & LUA Coders - Basically, we need code to bring many of the features (such as attachments, game modes, etc.) we plan to implement to realization, as well as to handle more advanced character behaviors, such as reacting to the player's presence, sneaking around, seeking cover when under fire, and throwing smoke grenades to cover their tracks. Level Designer - We need level designers to create the environments through which the player will navigate, as well as the mission objectives the player will need to achieve to advance through the game. Flow graphing experience is a plus, but is not required. Music and Sound Designer - We need people who can create all the different music & sounds that the player will hear in the game. HUD designer- able to make a HUD for project earth if you are interested register and post in the recruitment website . http://ceruleanentertainment.com/gam...3eac5d242731a1 you must be able to work for free |

Saturday Dec 7 | BleacherReport
Grading the New York Knicks' 5 Most Impressive Players So Far This Season
The Knicks posted a disappointing 5-13 record through Dec. 6, and quite frankly, it has been hard to identify bright spots.
Whose policies do more to help the poor?
Should America ever negotiate with terrorists?
Bargnani blows by Garnett for dunk (VIDEO), later gets ejected for trash talking him
When the Knicks got Andrea Bargnani the sales pitch from the pro-Bargnani side was he could do things Steve Novak couldn't - play some defense in the post and put the ball on the floor and blow by guys.
Melo, Knicks turn back the clock in laugher over Nets
It had been that kind of week for Knicks star Carmelo Anthony. Or, really, that kind of month.
New York Knicks Rumors: Could tonight be Mike Woodson's last night?
The reporters are out this Christmas reporting that either Jeff Van Gundy, or Allan Houston will be the next New York Knicks head coach.
America gapes at Knicks and Nets
Thursday is the one day of the week when the NBA's frantic nationwide schedule slows and all eyes turn to a doubleheader showcase on TNT.
J.R. Smith: Knicks Need 6th Man to Return to Form
The New York Knicks offensive struggles are well documented this season. After finishing third in offensive efficiency last season, raining in an NBA-record in three-pointers made and attempted, the Knicks' offense has been sluggish so far.
Nets hold off Raptors to snap losing streak
After seemingly having Tuesday night's game against the Raptors on cruise-control, the Nets held on for a much-needed 102-100 win inside Air Canada Centre.
Raptors show progress in win over Wizards: Kelly
Trying to put his finger on what defines the style of play in the Eastern Conference, Raptors coach Dwane Casey came up with two adjectives: "slower" and "uglier." Some in the East are slower and uglier than others.
There is an unfortunate tendency among basketball scribes to conflate "overrated" with "bad".
New York Knicks remain pointless on offense
The New York Knicks lost again last night 92-86. This is not the same team as last year, yet coach Mike Woodson coaches them the same as last year.
Andrea Bargnani Unsurprisingly Not Answer for New York Knicks
One of the most polarizing moves of the off-season made by one of the most polarizing franchises in the NBA was when the New York Knicks completed a trade with the Toronto Raptors that sent out Steve Novak and a senior citizen in exchange for former number-one overall pick, big man Andrea Bargnani .
NY Knicks' Most Surprising Players of the Early Season
As a team, the New York Knicks are full of surprises this season - bad ones mostly.
5-on-5: Fact or Fiction, New York Knicks
Tim Legler discusses why the Knicks have had a sluggish start to the season and whether they'll be able to beat the Hawks on Wednesday night.
Schmeelk: Is Defense Really The Knicks' Problem? Look A Bit Closer
There's no question that the Knicks' defense has been poor this year . It needs to get better if they want to be considered anything close to a contender.

VICTORVILLE - The North Torrance wrestling team went a long way to experience success Saturday.
Top-seeded Victor Valley stopped that journey a little short of the final goal.
The Jackrabbits spotted the Saxons a 13-point lead and then roared back, winning seven consecutive matches and 10 of the final 11 en route to a 46-16 victory that gave host Victor Valley the CIF Southern Section Division 3 dual meet championship.
It marks the second consecutive year the Jackrabbits won the duals, a yearly, one-day, four-round tournament featuring the top 16 teams in Southern Section divisions.
North Torrance entered the final on a roll.
In the semifinals, the Saxons upset second-seeded Long Beach Poly 36-24 and victories by Jordan Gurrolla (120 pounds), Kenji Fujimoto (126) and Rudy Carrejo (132) extended momentum into the final. But the bottom fell out, as the Saxons secured just three other points the rest of the way.
"It just wasn't a good matchup with our part of the lineup," said North assistant coach Eric Gould, who filled in for head coach Craig Garriott, who was ill.
Still, it was a pleasing day for North Torrance, which returned to the tournament final it won a year ago, even with Division 3 seemingly featuring a tougher field than it did in 2012.
"These guys are a team, and during the course of the day, that really showed," Gould said. "The stronger guys pulled the not-so-strong guys through when they needed to - and I think that's what a team is all about."

Girl Scout Cookies
Girl Scout Cookies are cookies sold by Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) as one of its major fundraisers for local Scout units. Members of the GSUSA have been selling cookies since 1917 to raise funds. Girls who participate can earn prizes for their efforts. There are also unit incentives if the unit as a whole does well. As of 2007, sales were estimated at about 200 million boxes per year.[1]
The first cookie sales by an individual Scout unit was by the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in December 1917.[2] In 1922, the Girl Scout magazine The American Girl suggested cookie sales as a fund-raiser and provided recipes. In 1933, Girl Scouts in Philadelphia organized the first official sale, selling homemade cookies at the windows of local utility companies. The first Girl Scout cookie recipe was a sugar cookie. In 1936 the national organization began licensing commercial bakers to produce cookies.
During World War II the Girl Scouts sold calendars in addition to cookies, because of shortages of flour, sugar, and butter. In 1942 there were 48 cookies per box, available in either vanilla or chocolate. Customers were limited to two boxes during some war years. By 1943 Girl Scouts also collected fat in cans with Girl Scout labels to aid the war effort and sold War Bonds at no profit.[3][4][5][6][7]
Each Girl Scout regional council decides which licensed baking company to use for cookie sales in that council, thus determining which varieties are available in the area covered by the council.[8][9]
Girl Scouts sell cookies to relatives, friends, neighbors, and others in their town or city. In recent years, because of safety concerns, an increased emphasis has been placed on cookie booths, where girls sell from tables in public areas under the supervision of adult troop leaders, rather than door-to-door. Many councils offer the option for customers to sponsor boxes of cookies to be sent to U.S. servicemen and women.[10] In 2007, an official website was launched, with information on purchasing Girl Scout cookies.
As an incentive to sell, Girl Scouts are sometimes offered prizes, such as stuffed animals, trinkets, coupons, credits toward Girl Scout camp, activities, or uniforms. These incentives vary from Girl Scout council to council. The prizes are usually cumulative, so that a girl who wins the prize for selling 50 boxes of cookies will also get the 25- and 20-box prizes. In some councils, girls may choose to earn more money for their troop instead of prizes, if they are working toward a troop goal such as a trip or other expensive activity. This type of fund raising is intended to teach Girl Scouts valuable skills in planning, teamwork, finance, organization, communication, and goal setting.[8]
Traditionally each regional Girl Scout council set the prices for cookies sold in that council. A 2006 article in the Boston Globe noted that price "is hardly ever a factor, until buyers find out that the same box of cookies is selling for less in the next town over." The Globe found that a box of Thin Mints sold for $3.50 in Rockland and $4.00 in neighboring Norwell.[11]
In 2009 the number of Thin Mints, Do-si-dos, and Tagalongs in each box was reduced and Lemon Chalet Cremes became smaller because of the increasing costs of ingredients and transportation. [12]
Each Girl Scout council operates its own cookie sale. Approximately 70% of the proceeds stay in the local Girl Scout council to support Girl Scouting in that area, including a portion that goes directly to the group selling the cookies.[13] The profits are divided by a formula, with local troops receiving about 10-15% of the retail price, the council more than 50%, and the manufacturer the remainder. In 1992 Girl Scouts sold 175 million boxes of cookies nationwide.[14]
Revenues at all levels are used to pay for events and activities for the Girl Scouts, maintenance of the councils' Girl Scout camps and other properties, cookie sale incentives, and Council administrative costs.[15]
Girl Scout cookies are made by large national commercial bakeries under license from Girl Scouts of the USA. The bakers licensed by the organization may change from year to year, though this is not common. In 2008 the licensed companies were Little Brownie Bakers (LBB), a subsidiary of Keebler, which is owned by Kellogg's; and ABC Bakers, a subsidiary of Interbake Foods, which is owned by George Weston Limited.[15][16][17] ABC Bakers has been licensed to produce Girl Scout cookies since 1936.
Up to 28 varieties of Girl Scout cookies are offered. The same cookies may be sold under different names by different bakeries, with the choice of bakery determining the name. There has been no move to standardize names.[18][19] The merger of many councils (from 312 to 109) following the August 2006 reorganization resulted in many councils changing bakeries, thus causing some confusion at that time.[20]
The national Girl Scout organization reviews and approves all varieties proposed by the baking companies, but requires only three types: Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwiches (ABC)/Do-Si-Dos (LBB) and Shortbreads (ABC)/Trefoils (LBB). The other kinds can be changed every year, though several popular favorites, such as Caramel DeLites (ABC)/Samoas (LBB) and Peanut Butter Patties (ABC)/Tagalongs (LBB), are consistently available.
Girl Scout cookie varieties include:

Federal guidelines issued in early 2005 called for people to minimize their consumption of trans fat. Concerned parents urged the Girl Scouts to address this and other health concerns about the cookies, suggesting that the cookie program was at odds with the Girl Scouts' healthy living initiative. The Girl Scout organization replied that the cookies were a treat which "shouldn't be a big part of somebody's diet," and said that they are "encouraging" the companies that bake the cookies to find alternative oils.[26]
In 2007, following reformulation of the recipes for a number of varieties, Girl Scouts of the USA announced that all their cookies had less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, allowing them to meet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for "zero trans fat" labeling.[27]
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is used in some cookies. The bakers claim that it is a necessary ingredient in ensuring the quality of the cookie.[13]
Palm oil[edit]
In September 2011, GSUSA released a new policy on palm oil in Girl Scout cookies to take effect from the 2012-13 cookie season.[28] Amongst the pledges made, the GSUSA announced it will purchase GreenPalm certificates to support the sustainable production of palm oil. The certificates offer a premium price to palm oil producers who are operating within the guidelines for social and environmental responsibility set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
The 2011 policy was formed in response to a prolonged campaign by two Girl Scouts, Madison Vorva and Rhiannon Tomtishen. In 2007, as 11 year olds, Vorva and Tomtishen earned their Girl Scout Bronze Award by raising awareness about the endangered orangutan and their rapid diminishing rainforest habitat in Indonesia and Malaysia. When they discovered that the Girl Scout Cookies contained palm oil, an ingredient that results in rainforest destruction and human rights abuses, the two girls launched a variety of campaigns in order to convince the GSUSA to remove this ingredient from their cookies. Vorva and Tomtishen were awarded the UN Forest Heroes Award in 2011.[29]

Xetum Tyndall And Stinson Watches Now On The Scene
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Both of the watches also feature a lugless case design. Meaning that the leather strap is fitted directly into the case for a cleaner, more seamless look. The second model is the Xetum Stinson. Both the Stinson and Tyndall watches are named after places in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Xetum is located - though the watches are all Swiss made. The Stinson model is equipped with an ETA 2824-2 automatic movement and has a centrally mounted seconds hand versus a subsidiary seconds dial as seen in the Tyndall model. Prices for the watches range from $995 to $1,395, and are available direct from Xetum's website.

A man attempted to rob a convenience store early Friday at approximately 2:12 a.m.
A white man who appeared to be in his 20s, approximately six feet tall, slim build, wearing gray cargo pants, light gray long-sleeved shirt and sun glasses entered the Kangaroo Express at 9652 East Brainerd Road.
The suspect approached the cash register with items from the store and asked the clerk for two packs of cigarettes. He told the clerk he had a gun and demanded she empty the register. The clerk refused to open the register and the suspect left the store.
A witness at the gas pumps said the suspect left the area driving silver Chevy Cruze with a possible sunroof.

Comments about 12 Amp Sawzall Reciprocating Saw with 3/4-in Stroke:
Bought this at the start of a major remodeling-lots of demo and lots of plumbing. I don't know how we would have succeeded without this sawzall. I really liked the shorter length of blade movement (3/4" as opposed to 1 1/8"). Much easier to control.
Best Uses
I am a woman and for nearly 25 years have used my old 6 amp Milwaukee sawzall for many home and yard projects; from remodeling to deck building, and it is still going strong. I bought the new 12 amp for my niece and her new husband; they love it. Being a young couple fairly new to owning a home I told them this would be the best brand and type of saw to have for so many of the of their home projects. They have both used it and have found it easy and effective to use, even for beginners. When (and if) my old sawzall ever gives up I will only buy a Milwaukee to replace it. Also, CPO was great to work with in placing the order. The price was very good, they filled the order exactly as ordered, and delivered it with no problems.
