Cheers!
Updated my vote and had to drop my own design. I will be away for the counting of votes so GL to everyone that took part.
Thank you for voting, and being so ruthless on yourselves, fragORA !
Enjoy the time off, when you are back, we have voted...
Here is an archival listing of all the logo designs, for your perusal, in our own Ora forum: http://oraforum.org/index.php?topic=36.0
We will keep voting on the bitcointalk thread.

I'm changing my vote somewhat. It was extremely difficult to narrow it down to three, as there were so many worthy designs. Here are my final choices.

Thank you for voting, Kora!
This is a good time for all to consider these beautiful designs, and make a choice.

I think it'd be a good idea to connect this to the forum:
http://oraforum.org/index.php?board=5.0
Perhaps also create a topic there with all entries in the OP for easy overview? IMO all color & size variations should be included. Up for it Pentamon?

cough, cough, Yes Mac Red, that is what we should do
We have the prezi, but our own archive on the Ora forum is definitely something that we want to take with into the furure.

Lot of nice logoes, look great! It will be difficult to choose.
Maybe these articles can help to choose.

I am going to watch with interest which three you vote for, kussaka
Pentamon
I vote so ... Forgive me Gvans and Maximuss.
Both logos are perfect, but I could not resist to combine them together.
And vote to my second version of the logo.
I combined my logo with a model site for example, to show features of it and the point it between strong competitors.
You may be the first person to implement something I suggested (it may have been in a pm to the team), which is to have the logo designerS also submit complementary website styles and designs. Nothing in the web process is set in stone. Even if I end up undoing the work I've already done, we are trying to get the best site possible.
Everyone feel free to submit additional holistic designs such as this, that incorporate web assets that "finish" your logo submissions. That is not part of the contest, by the way. I personally would like to see your respective marketing visions, because you have all done such a great job on logo design!
kind regards,
nio
Interesting "catch" nio

I love the second design in the quoted post!
Great submissions all around so far, keep up the great work guys!
Welcome, maximuss,
I like it. The Ora font, looks a little like a key, is interesting as well.
I wonder about a 'blow-up' of that part, with the O bigger?
Pentamon
Thanks Pentamon, I've updated and enlarged the ora part of the design with a bigger O:
Thank you, maximuss, that was quick!
I do see a key - the cryptographic Ora key.
Am I the only one?
Pentamon
No, but I see a different "key". Look at how the R and the A in "Ora" create an "s" in the negative space. That gives us RSA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_%28cryptosystem%29). Your key makes a more subtle statement. The double entendre warms my nerdy little heart.
kind regards,
nio
How did you see that ?
It is so obvious now when i look at it. wp Lot of nice logoes, look great! It will be difficult to choose.

I was going to reply to a couple of posts from earlier pages, and just caught up to the end of this thread (so far).
Before I respond to posts, I just wanted to say that I am truly amazed at the skill floating around here! I can't remember the last time I felt like posting a positive comment on design, in any forum. I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't give out unwarranted compliments, to gain favour or for any other "falsetto" reason.
I've seen a number of coins and their logo contests. These entries decimate them all. Normally you see a lot of designs that make you go "meh". Not so with the Ora entries. The "meh"'s here are few and far between.
my compliments!

The reason I like this, is that it seems to be hand drawn, yet very accurate. Amazing.
Welcome, at this late hour, crz!

Agree
A question to maximuss: Is there any risk that some fond designer will come after us about the use of a font? I know there is always that possibility, but I just want to make sure that we are somewhat 'future-proofed' for that eventuality.
Shouldn't be a problem, the font is donationware so as long as the author gets a small donation, I'm sure he'll be happy for us to use it.

-------------------------
"FOR ANY USAGE
Either: Donate money to Andrew McCluskey via PayPal: [email protected]. I recommend the donation sum is what you feel the font is worth to you and what you feel is right for what you're getting from the font - I make less from doing this than you might think!
Or: Purchase any item from my store: http://www.zazzle.com/nalgamesstore for rights to use this font.
Or: Buy me something from my Firebox wishlist: http://www.firebox.com/wish/4iC9fX6N for rights to use this font.
Or: Send me any game I do not already own to my Steam account: nal-games / [email protected]
Or: Send me a gift! I can provide my address on request. Bonus points if the gift is a physical item with my font on it somehow! Money donation also accepted this way.
FOR NON-COMMERCIAL OR NON-PROFIT USAGE
Either: Do any of the options from "For Any Usage"
Or: Drop me a line on [email protected] telling me you're using it. If possible, include what for, and if you're feeling generous, I'd love to see a sample of my font in action!
-------------------------
I'm more than happy to collaborate with other designers for the logo / marketing etc, will post up a few more updates when I get back from work, thanks.
If this logo does get picked, we will send him a stake as part of permission to use the font and get him advertise on his website. It will be a good promotion. Part of designers industry building. Agree?

An industry of designer community supported by Ora. And incorporating designer community with marketing in creating a powerful and effective marketing tool to reach all kinds of folks.
A little bit of messy right now in my (contributed by the nxt hack). I will share with everyone once i have the details properly figured.

Ah! Good idea.
We might see: Ora = Marketing
Take your time to sort things out.
