Another prospective logo - Spanner, paintbrush, candle
Having thought about it for a bit, I've come up with at least one idea
for a logo. There might be more later :-). I'm not quite sure what
the current procedure is for this, so I'll post it here for now.
Below you will find a colour Encapsulated PostScript file. I've put
it on the WWW at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/debian-logos/
It consists of a spanner, a paintbrush and a candle, crossed three
ways. They represent engineering, art and artistry, and freedom and
enlightenment, respectively.
Forgive the rather spartan presentation - that's because it's a logo,
rather than a pretty picture. You'll also notice that there isn't any
text in it. If this logo is chosen we should obviously decide where
and how to place the text near it.
You'll also notice that it fits nicely into a 32x32 colour or
grayscale icon. (I didn't have time to do a mono icon, but it
shouldn't be hard.)
Oh, and it hasn't been anywhere near the GIMP, just
Emacs, GhostScript and pbmplus :-).
Ian.
