I like basing the new one on the Kamailo World logo (like I did on Facebook, Twitter and G+) But I don't like the font selection in Freds version. That can be fixed.
I vote for going down this path - A1. We're used to it already and starting a new project will take a lot of energy (and a lot of beers).
We can spend the beers and the energy somewhere else, like colour of the t-shirts or taste of the Kamailio candy. Fred has already gotten the right to decide how the Kamailio cookie should taste and look like :-)

Re A1)
For the banner and table banner, I modified the font to use Open Sans (the font has an open license) and added "the open source sip server project".
The green/grey parts and the rest were vectorized and can be reproduced at large, high res.

The pdf files were used to print the banner and the table cover for Astricon 2013 and are high res, printer quality.
If those images are liked, I can get whatever high res files you want from them (in the desired sizes).
The adobe illustrator files are also in that directory.

Palner will match the price of the bronze package in contribution.

Hello,
I was considering to discuss the state of Kamailio project logo for a while. The current state is ambiguous, to say at least - various logos in different places. When OpenSER was renamed in Kamailio we were trying to get something new, but due to the 'forks and dark waters' at that time, this process was never completing, meanwhile using an adaptation of old openser logo. However, there are no high resolution or other variants suitable for using in particular conditions (e.g., black and white, big posters).
First, a question that we should decide on: shall we aim for a new logo or try to get someone to make proper graphics from the current shape? (for reference, the logo from http://www.kamailio.org/wp-images/kamailio-rock-logo.jpg).
I would prefer to go for a new logo, but I admit that this process can become complex, a mater of tastes, not something we can decide on technical aspects. Therefore, if it ends up in something that doesn't seem to have the acceptance of major contributors (with coding, advertising/promoting, ...) to the project, then we stick with current for a while.
My preference is based on the fact that Kamailio evolved over the time, has its own identity, so a fresh look of the logo would reflect that better.
I am listing here the options, that people can express preference on:
A) New logo
A1) variant based on Kamailio World logo (used by twitter kamailioproject account and on some materials at various events). It was a backup variant so far as we had high resolution graphics that could be adapted to get a good image for big posters. Can be seen at:
http://www.kamailio.org/pub/kamailio-logos/variants/kamailio-from-world-logo...
A2) use a professional service for that. Kamailio World logo was made with 99designs.com service, which is quite good considering there will be many submissions to choose between, options can be visible by everyone. There might be other similar services, this is one I have experience with and worked fine in the past -- anyhow, it has to be something that all management and solution can be done online. Asipto can sponsor at least the bronze package if 99designs is going to be used, maybe others want to participate with extra funds to get a better package.
A3) leverage on community, in case some companies have internal designers or some of you have such skills or friends. Perhaps this has the highest risk on escalating, given that is going to be some direct involvement in proposals and selection.
B) Old logo
B1) get someone to produce high resolution graphics from existing logo
No matter what variant, who will do the work or financial contribution, will get credits via our web site. However, all the rights of the resulting logo will belong to the Kamailio project.
To conclude, the order of my preferences: A2, A1, A3, B1
Looking forward to feedback from many of you!
Cheers, Daniel
