NetBSD Announces Logo Design Competition

Posted by simoniker on from the more-bee-for-your-ess-dee dept.

jschauma writes "The NetBSD Project has announced that it has launched an international competition for the creation of a new logo. There is a cash prize of US $100.00 for the winning entry. The successful logo will also have wide exposure, featuring in all NetBSD material including, but not limited to; the NetBSD.org web site, software media, apparel, and business systems. The competition will close on February 29, 2004. The rules of the competition, submission information and the design brief can be found in the official announcement, which has already spawned some discussion on the netbsd-advocacy and current-users MailingLists." The announcement notes that the current logo is "too complicated... hard to reproduce... [and] has negative cultural, and religious ramifications."

    Hint: that means that you lose.

    Ya know, I have a story about a dead squirrel I had in a cardboard box(really), and I never thought it would be on topic in a Slashdot forum. I don't think the dead squirrel was running NetBSD, but whatever OS it did have had apparently crashed hard. :)
