Hahc21: Lines and Arrow - This one is an arrow formed with four lines, each one representing something. The grey line represents the roads, the green line the forests and national parks, the red line represents the attractions, and the blue line, the water. Together, they form an arrow, a symbol used to point directions across the globe, and well-known in the traveling world. The red semi-circle (which I originally planned to be blue, though) represents the land above which all those elements coexist; e.g. the earth.

The following conversation is taken from Wikivoyage/Logo 2013/Submissions#Option 14 - Lines and Arrow:

Okay. This is the first of several designs I will be presenting. This one is an arrow formed with four lines, each one representing something. The grey line represents the roads, the green line the forests and national parks, the red line represents the attractions, and the blue line, the water. Together, they form an arrow, a symbol used to point directions across the globe, and well-known in the traveling world. The red semi-circle (which I originally planned to be blue, though) represents the land above which all those elements coexist; e.g. the earth. Any thoughts? — ΛΧΣ²¹ 02:01, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

I have done this little tweak that I do like and adds a different meaning to the logo. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 08:27, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Generally speaking it doesn't inspire me, because the logo itself, doesn't give me the idea of the voyage, and with the wiki.label is applied below of it, they screech a little bit, because I don't perceive them as a whole thing. --Andyrom75 (talk) 12:49, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

I like that this is very visually distinct, but share Andyrom75's concern that it's relation to travel is pretty hard to discern without an explanation. --Peter ^Talk 20:29, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't like these. I see smth like "subway/railroad map" here (in both sections). It can be good for land transport system (subway or railroad company), but it is not good for WV. Alex Spade (talk) 22:32, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

This may also have trademark problems; it looks a lot like the British Rail logo to me. Daniel Case (talk) 19:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say that but the lines look like something is broken. They don't form something bigger, they are fighting each other. The second version is a bit better because it's more balanced. But it still reminds me of this. --TMg 19:37, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
