European Pirates logo selection process

As agreed by the European pirate parties gathered at Warsaw, the six submitted logos that best comply with technical criteria have been selected by the commission of professional creatives. So that these six candidate logos will now be voted upon by the pirate party assemblies to decide which one will be used by the organisation when it is founded.

Below you can find the six logos with their scoring, their submitted corporate image manual, and some of the criticisms of the commission:

Scoring Logo Manual Criticisms
10 points Manual Reminds of the European Union, but has it’s own character. The Stars are dynamic, almost exploding. Very nice use of typography here, overall, a very balanced logo. Good to use on photographs.
Delivers the message with a very elegant style. Perfect finish. Too similar to the original logo when used toghether. Colour might be too classic.
9 points ppeu_2_.zip While the “European Pirates” is not readable, the visual language is nice, with bold letters. The Pirate sail forming an e with the circle doesn’t work that well, though.
Easy to identify, good complement of national pirate party logos. Clear and well finished. “EU”, if read as an acronym, might be misleading (just like the stars in other logos).
Good alternative to the stars, although the readability is low.
8 points ppeu_logo_2.zip Too many elements (sail, flag, star), and putting a sail on a flag is not convincing. But it looks good. Would have been better with some colour. The Font might be hard to read.
Appealing. Would work well in conjunction with the original logo. The lack of colour makes it a bit too cold.
Well balanced, and it is nice not to see an evident star. Having two flags is weird.
5 points logoeur.zip It’s ok, but would have been better with more colour. Could lose itself on photographs.
Concise and elegant use of the two predictable elements. It does not add much novelty, but would work well.
4 points pp-eu-manual.pdf The more conservative version of the 5 Points logo. Beautiful styleguide. Good to use on photographs.
Predictable. Correct but not attractive.
4 points ppeu_logo_4.zip Minimalist in a positive way. Space for acronym does not allow many variations.
Does not add the idea of Europe to the original logo. Too plain.
