Want to Change the Slashdot Logo? For 1 Day in October, You Can

Posted by timothy on Monday September 10, 2012 @04:25AM from the small-canvas-for-big-ideas dept.

The Slashdot logo has been around for a long time now; the truth is, we're rather fond of it, and have only rarely introduced substantial changes. But for the month of October, as a way of celebrating the site's 15 years of delivering News for Nerds, we invite you to help us temporarily change it. If you have an idea of what the Slashdot logo should look like for one day in October, this is your chance to see it on the page. Starting September 15th, we'll be accepting entries, and sending limited edition anniversary T-shirts to the artists we pick to show off on the page throughout the month. (And a Nexus 7 tablet to the artist who ranks best in show.) Click through for information on what we're looking for, how to enter, and the long list of rules that the legal department has provided for your reading pleasure; we look forward to seeing and sharing your ideas.

What else is there?

I'm still bitter that the constant Firefox updates broke the add-in that made that layout permanent.

  I'd like to point out that Slashdot was 5 years ahead of the brony craze. The new logo needs to have, if not Rainbow Dash, maybe the pony that goes "you're gonna LOVE ME!!!!!" (seems to fit at least couple regulars well)

I just read the rules... by Anonymous Coward · 2012-09-10 04:30 · Score: 5, Funny

And I don't see anything that would prohibit a Goatse.cx inspired logo. I can see the hands wrapping around the "o" in Slashdot now.
How about... by MetalliQaZ · 2012-09-10 04:39 · Score: 5, Funny

How about a logo with Fonzie waterski-jumping over Slashdot while wearing a leather jacket.

And see if I can get a dupe Slashdot logo through.

We could use Comic Sans instead of that ugly old font.

Wait. I thought that was Comic Sans.
