And a logical first step. Again, Adobe Acrobat comes immediately to
mind. I nominate Netscape Communicator for a "Designed for" logo, since
they take to time to produce a FreeBSD-specific release.

Which is usually "stating the obvious." Thanks for stepping up.

Ditto for me. Do we have a house artist available?
I agree it should be recognizable as a FreeBSD logo. We may want to make
a little squarish logo as well, for product boxes and such. I hope we can
get these onto boxes. ;^)
If you send me your "Works with" artwork I'll do my best to make the "Designed
for" version. Perhaps we should use a different color in the color bar to
differentiate the two? I propose to make the color bar "true blue" for the
"Designed for" logo. ;^)
This is a great start. Do we have a volunteer to start on the web page?
Once we get the web page up, describing the initial logo-qualified products,
I'll be glad to write a news flash, or perhaps even an article, for
Daemon News. (Along with SlashDot, LWN, etc.)
