There is no voting during the two-week submission period, but discussion is encouraged. Images may be modified during this period, and derivatives may be submitted. All images must accord to the logo submission rules (see below).
Elimination round
After the submission period, entries are aggregated in randomized display for one week of voting. Each voter may choose a first, second and third choice.
Finalist review
After the top 3 usable submissions by vote are determined - the Wikimedia Foundation may be required to eliminate candidates for legal and technical issues; see rules below for more - there is another community discussion and review period of one week. By talk page consensus, up to two modified versions of a logo finalist may be entered along with the finalist for the final vote. Any modified versions selected will be reviewed again by the Wikimedia Foundation before the final vote.
Final vote
As many as 9 logos (3 originals plus up to two modifications each) are entered into the one-week final vote, aggregated in randomized display for voting. Winners should be announced within approximately two business days of vote closure.
