Simplified linear estimation of the scale parameter of the logistic distribution based on the sum of consecutive order statistics is considered. The paper also discusses the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) and asymptotically best linear estimators (ABLEs) based on k optimally selected order statistics from the logistic distribution. The proposed model is based on a pair of single spacing and the two binary digits as the weights and the bias, variance and relative efficiencies for sample sizes  are computed.
