''The deadline for this vote is September 12, 20:00 UTC. This is to allow translators to translate the voting instructions before voting starts.''
* [[w:Range voting|Average voting]] (as used on [[article count reform]], grade each logo 1 to 5): [[User:Eloquence|—Eloquence]], [[User:DanKeshet|DanKeshet]], [[User:Maveric149|Maveric149]], [[User:Tevi|Tevi]], [[User:Fantasy|Fantasy]], [[User:Renke|Renke]], [[User:Angela|Angela]], [[user:MyRedDice|MyRedDice]], [[user:Pacific1982|Pacific1982]], [[User:Dhum Dhum|Dhum Dhum]], [[User:Anthere]], [[User:Oliezekat|Oliezekat]], [[w:User:LittleDan|LDan]], [[Stevertigo]] ''':op''',
** Arguments in favor: Allows voters to express approval as well as disapproval to different degrees and is simple to understand. While commonly believed to result in similar strategies as approval voting, evidence from [[article count reform]] suggests this belief to be false at least in our case. The final decision is easy to understand -- the logo with the highest (or lowest, depending on scoring used) average score wins. This guarantees a high level of transparency and makes it very easy for everyone to use their votes to the effect they find useful or necessary; that is, if they dislike a particular logo very strongly, they can exercise a high influence to prevent it from being successful, whereas they can also express moderate opinions or very strong approval.
** Arguments against: More complicated than approval voting, more strategic voting than Condorcet. Strategically equivalent to approval voting. That is, if you want to maximize the impact of your vote, you would only give either the maximum or minimum number of points to each candidate, but if everyone does that, then the voting system is equivalent to approval voting anyway, which is simpler.([[Article count reform]] vote showed that not everyone or not even the large majority of users act in this fashion.)
