Debian Logo Contest
February 4, 1999
------------------------------------------------------------------------
>> News
The Debian project is in the process of looking for a new logo.
Currently
Debian has a semi-official logo, which can be seen at
<http://www.debian.org/logos/debianlogo-2.jpg>. As a majority of Debian
developers are not happy with the current logo, we are searching for a
new
logo to replace the current one using a GIMP logo contest. Submission
information and other details are available at <http://contest.gimp.org/>.
Debian would like to have two logos: one logo with a very liberal license
that everyone is free to use (for example on webpages, shirts, etc.), and
a more official logo with a restricted license which can only be used on
official Debian items (like CD's produced from the official ISO-images).
Please note both license are not finished yet.
Of course it is important to determine what exactly constitutes a logo.
The logo should meet the following criteria:
* it must be easily recognizable as the Debian logo
* it should not be Linux specific
* it must look good in black & white
* it must be scalable
* it should not be too detailed, so it works in low resolution
* works both with and without text at the bottom (can be ignored if the
text `Debian' is part of the logo)
Each submission should consist of 2 logos for the reasons explained
above.
Details on submissions can be found on the GIMP contest homepage at
<http://contest.gimp.org/>.
The winning logo will be decided on by the Debian developers. Since there
are a lot of active developers it may take as long as 3-4 weeks after the
end of the contest to decide who the winner is.
The winner will be awarded an email-address at debian.org, a CD-set
with Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 for the architecture of his/her choice (Alpha,
i386, m68k, or Sparc) and ever-lasting fame for creating the Debian
logo-set.
>> About Debian
The Debian project is an organization of many users who volunteer
their time and effort. One of its tasks is to maintain and update Debian
GNU/Linux which is a free distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system.
Other Debian projects include the development of the Debian GNU/Hurd
operating system.
Linux kernel based operating systems are POSIX based, freely
distributable, and includes features such as true multitasking, virtual
memory, shared libraries, demand loading, proper memory management,
TCP/IP
networking, and other features consistent with Unix-type systems. It is
used by individuals and organizations worldwide.
GNU Hurd provides architecture-independent services normally found in
Unix
kernels. The Hurd is a collection of servers that run on top of a
microkernel to implement file systems, network protocols, file access
control, and other features. Hurd currently runs on the GNU Mach
microkernel.
