New FreeBSD Logo Contest to Close on June 30

Posted by timothy on from the free-chuckie dept.

xbsd writes "The Official FreeBSD Logo Contest is closing on June 30, 2005. As of June 23 they have received 429 compliant submissions, but if you got the skills you still have a few hours left to submit a proposal. Now, is it time for F/OSS projects to follow NetBSD and get a more polished (or as some would say, 'corporate') public image?"

    The guidelines state:
    * The logo must not exploit or offend anyone's sex, race, religion, morality, culture, nor be salacious or pornographic.

    Well it better not say "BSD" anywhere in it. Because BSD offends my morality. For that matter, as a democrat, I hate freedom too. So it better not have any part of that word in the logo either!

    Elegy For *BSD

    I am a *BSD user
    and I try hard to be brave
    That is a tall order
    *BSD's foot is in the grave.

    I tap at my toy keyboard
    and whistle a happy tune
    but keeping happy's so hard,
    *BSD died so soon.

    Each day I wake and softly sob
    Nightfall finds me crying
    Not only am I a zit faced slob
    but *BSD is dying.
