Okay Art-Lovers, Welcome to the official logo change page.
I'm planning to work this as follows, but as this is a wiki, I'm happy to take suggestions or be overruled at any point. The goal is to be a bit more organised than the last time.
Process
1: First up, we have the "Consulting and Entry" phase. I'm planning to keep this open for 2 weeks. During this time you can create your masterpieces, post them here, and if there's a few Q's from others, you can respond with a few answers.
2: Then comes the first round. If there are too few entries (less than 3) in a category the first round gets skipped. The first round will work like the first phase of the name change poll, with the main difference being that no new entries will be accepted. You will be allowed to vote "Yes" on as many entries as you like, with the top contestants moving to phase two. If there are between 3 and 5, this will be the top 2, and if more than 5 the top 3. This is open for a week or so.
3: The final round will work like the second part of the name change poll, in that you will have a single vote in each category. The previous finalists (or all entries if there are only 1 or 2) will be pitted up against "No Change" - i.e., whatever logo is in that current category.
Categories
Given that we've changed the name and are the main logo I think its only fair that we put any logo being used for wiki purposes up as "Fair Game" - as The Vault will probably want to continue using our incumbent logos I think this is the best possible time to put them on the table. Please state which logo you're looking to replace: main logo, news, a template, polls, etc. If you don't I'll have a guess at your intentions.
How to enter
Create a 2nd level heading for your entry (thats the one with two ='s each side) Link to the picture (either direct or upload and post direct). Tell us about your picture, and which logo you see it replacing. Don't forget to sign your entry.
I'd ask those who have submitted logos in previous pages to do so again here, just so you can have your comments. If I don't see an entry from those I'm aware of in a few days, I'll try to get your entry up.
Voting - please read this BEFORE voting opens to ensure your vote counts
Voting is not yet open, but if you intend to vote, please make sure you are a registered Wikia/Nukapedia editor and have made at least an edit somewhere on this wiki before the polls open. This will help us to determine that your vote is a legitimate one. I intend to open voting on 20 Jan, unless otherwise suggested/over-rulled... Agent c 00:30, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

- Yessie, Mr YouTube, if you don't like the temporary titles I've used to describe your entry, you're welcome to change them. Agent c 14:37, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
Nukapedia "Bottle Logo" Entry
here is my logo. Just credit it to Yes-Man if you use it. I honestly don't think it's that good, but Scar thought I should submit it.
(Entry in new NukaPedia Logo category)
Nukepedia "California Bear Flag" Entry
Here is my entry: http://cutlock.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-logo-for-nukapedia.html not a very large image right now, I'll make it larger though. Now, why should this one be chosen? That is a good, good question, the answer is simple, very simple indeed. Unlike other ones which show good design, they don't stay true to Fallout. Its the same thing, why have a show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer when you show Nikita instead. Why have a coca cola bottle as the logo, no offense, when you could have something that actually shows what Fallout is about. The one at the below the red one with bullet holes, while great artistic work, I do not believe shows what this wiki is about at first glance, does not show that it is fallout.
Though, keep this in mind, why have one logo when you can multiple ones. Why just use my one, when for alternating months, you can use other ones. Why use my one or the other ones for the favicon, when you can use something else entirely. Also the wiki's background should be changed, as all designs are leading for a more RED approach.
Vote for the Knights, vote for Youtube.
Cut the locks, but do not be cut down.

Nukapedia "Arizona Bull Flag" Entry
The more the merrier. I mean, if we're looking for a logo, look for all possible options. And who better to make all possible options but I?

Also, with this we can, lets say, repaint the background red? --Mr. Youtube 03:46, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
Simple Fallout Entrant
Also made by yours truly, that's three now isn't it? Well, the more choices the better. This one is simple, plaid for you folk!

Nukapedia "Bottle cap" logo
I didn't even realize there was a competition here until I got a message on my talk page. Just a quick mock-up. ▫ JohnnyMrNinjatalk 14:46, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
- The other important thing to think about when creating a new logo is how easily recognizable it would be as a 16x16 favicon. The vault door was a good one in that respect. 14:47, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Mushroom cloud
Not much of a logo, will probably be updating this soon but i came out with this. Not finished it fully but the final design should (if uploaded) look something like this. Not sure about the vault boy image though as it may be a copyright infringement. This would be to replace the news logo Also a new idea was to replace the vault boy image later on with the new updated vault logo. Of course that will need to wait for the release of a new site logo
- Just a heads up, you may want to check out the spelling of your logo:P--

Thanks for the heads up will update soon --I don't wanna set the world on fire 15:27, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
Wiki News Digest Logo - Vault Boy at GNN
This entry isn't for the main Nukapedia logo entry - its my proposed change for the wiki news digest logo. Whilst the Vault boy at the terminal is a great image, I imagine the vault will want to keep using it. Its based on the Smooth Talker logo, and the NBC radio network logos.

Rusty Red Metal - Nukapedia Logo (Main)
I threw this idea out before and if enough people like it (or have suggestions) I'd be happy to amend it (letters bigger/smaller/different font, more/less/different placement for rust blowouts, etc.). Although I really like the bottle and bottle cap ideas above. In my mind those could be favicons, and something more 'blown-out fallouty looking' like mine would be the main logo - but obviously I'm biased :).
On a side note: I think no matter which logo wins, even if it's just 'Nuke'-based (mushroom cloud, etc.), that we should think about altering the GREEN motif on this wiki. I assume it's alterable, as different wikis have different motifs to match the theme of the content. In this case, I think we should go RED. The rusty green metal repeating-background I think should be RED-hued. The buttons and header and footer divs should also be RED gradients. Or, at the very least, we should see what it looks like. In my opinion, it will not only better match the new logo, but will also better match the newest game in the series, New Vegas. As we all know, New Vegas has a strong red/amber motif in its logo and menu design. Thanks for reading! ---Person of Refinement 21:02, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
- YES! If yours does win, we will have to amend, though I feel you as my main competitor. Great work coming from another participant. Cheers - Youtube. --Mr. Youtube 06:07, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- That is a very nicelooking logo, and I completely agree on the future colorpalette issue, even though I'm a bit sad losing this wonderful green/gray tone. But a red/gray (doesn't have to be red/amber in my eyes) would still be very fitting for a Fallout wiki and fit well with your logo design. If it really has to be changed more than a red/sandgrainy background might just do the trick. --BusinessMonkey 11:16, January 7, 2012 (EST)
Doc Incognito's NukaPedia Bottlecap Logo
I hope this works, I'm a bit new to Wiki usage; I've been more of a viewer up to this point.
Hey, it worked! Sweet deal. Well, here's my little bottlecap, with plenty of rust for good measure. @Mr. YouTube: I like the idea about changing the motif as well, and whatever happens with this competition, I would love to help with the design and implementation of a new theme, if you guys will have me.
Oh, and this would be intended to replace the wiki's primary logo. Tell me what you guys think!
Thanks, Doc Incognito 18:54, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
PS: I almost forgot, this is the thumbnail version. If anyone needs it, I have a full 1000*1000 version.
- Very nice. If in the end this isn't chosen by the community as the main logo, I think it would at least make a perfect favicon. It's a little close to The Vault's cog-door, but there isn't a lot you can do with such a small icon anyways.The Gunny 19:05, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
