Furtka

Our new logo

Two proposals for the Furtka mark, and you picked one. Here is how the vote ended — and each mark everywhere it would have had to work.

The vote is closed — M won with 29 of 42 votes (R: 13). Thank you to everyone who voted! M is now the Furtka logo.

Furtka is Polish for a small garden gate — the little door in the fence that lets you in without opening the whole thing. Both marks play with that: one draws the letter into the gate, the other looks through the gate at a wheel. Below are both, with the final count — and each mark everywhere it would have had to work, from a poster to the tiny icon in a browser tab.

M — the f in the gate

A lowercase f cut out of an arched gate. The stem is the gate post, the two rails are the crossbars.

29 / 42

R — window, wheel and F

An arched window with a wheel of spokes behind it; in the top-right pane the spoke becomes an F.

13 / 42

Both marks everywhere they would have had to work.

Big and small

From a poster to the 16-pixel icon in a browser tab. Below 32 pixels both marks switch to a simplified drawing — M drops nothing, R keeps the window, the cross and the hub.

With the name

Side by side and stacked. The wordmark is the same for both, so only the mark decides.

In colour

On light, on dark, on its own colour, and in plain text colour — each mark is one shape and takes whatever colour is around it.
