Conworlds:Logo Contest
During July and August 2024, the Constructed Worlds Wiki held a contest to select a new logo. Due to a combination of factors, the Constructed Worlds Wiki Admin team decided to retire the former seal and search for a new logo. We opened the change to the community through this contest.
Users with graphic design skills submitted their proposals on this page in the appropriate section. From Thursday, August 1st, through Wednesday, August 7th, a first round of voting was held with all the submissions to determine the top two choices of the community. From August 8th until August 14th, community members cast runoff votes on the two finalist options. Our winner was announced on August 15th.
Thank you to everyone who made submissions and who participated in voting!

Description: A logo I originally created as a part of the Paracosmic Awards trophy. It is inspired by the iconic Wikipedia logo and elements I recreated from the front page of Conworlds Fandom.

Description: Here is my proposed logo for Construction World (or Consworld in short) and here's how it looks (and I strongly apologize if my proposed logo is of low quality and is not up to standard):
At the center of the logo is a wireframe globe, which this globe symbolizes the universe, and can be depicted in white with a grid pattern. The wreath of my proposed logo of the Constructed Worlds Wiki is rendered in blue with gold accents, adding a sense of prestige. Below the globe and the wreath of the logo are five stars arranged in a horizontal line. Stars denote quality, aspiration, and distinction. The name CONSWORLD is prominently displayed in large, bold, blue uppercase letters beneath the stars.

Description: Two strokes, one gold and one black, emerging from a white pencil on a blue field. The round shape reprises the globe element present in several iterations of the Conworlds Wiki logo, but the usage of IRL Earth is eschewed in favor of a simple blue circle, both for graphical simplicity and to avoid giving viewers the impression that all Conworlds projects are related to Earth.

Description:
- A design that recalls the iconic wikilink and globe logos of the Constructed Worlds Wiki (Conworlds) as well as those from the 1970s and 1980s, it incorporates further imagery like the free Noto Serif Condensed Black font, the domineering Tower of Babel, convergent arrows, interlocked links, an intriguing portal, the timeless hourglass, and the poetic scroll. Altogether, these symbols signal Conworlds' ideal of creatively building upon older ideas to catalyse newer concepts, simultaneously fostering a diverse and passionate community whose work can be accessed indefinitely and without payment.
