I like the logos without the daemon, but they seem lacking somehow. Here's what we need: 1) Slogans. Decide if we're going to stick with one, or go with the three tiers that have been discussed, to wit: a) hardware that is known to work well with FreeBSD - motherboards, I/O cards, hard disks, graphics adapters, whatever. b) native FreeBSD applications, like Netscape Navigator/Communicator and (soon to be) Applixware. Also any "free" app suites that have been ported to FreeBSD - KDE, Gnome, etc. c) emulated applications that are known to work well with FreeBSD. We've discussed requiring these to have an installation kit for FreeBSD before being badged. Examples include Wingz, WordPerfect, etc. 2) Logo(s) suitable for boxes. These should be roughly 1" x 1", camera ready images like the "SCO OK" and "Cool it works with Linux" logos. 3) Logo(s) suitable for web pages. These should be attractive and fast to load. For simplicity sake, it would probably be best to assume a slogan for the time being. Your "Runs on FreeBSD" is fine for this use. ;^) Have at it. Invite your artistic friends to the party. It's not possible to lose this contest unless nobody shows up. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
