Maemo.org logo contest

This is a proposal under discussion, related to Task:Maemo brand. You can help deciding whether the contest is appropriate, and in which terms.

As the Maemo brand is being redefined, maemo.org becomes clearly the space of collaboration of the Maemo community, organized around open source tools and ways of working. A new "maemo.org" logo defined and produced by the community will embody the new values. Once selected, it will become the logo used in *.maemo.org and it will inspire a new web layout to be implemented this year.

Proposal

Logo contest to be organized in the following terms:

  • Design the new maemo.org logo
  • Submit it before August
  • Win a trip to OSiM World and the maemo summit (Berlin, 17-19/Sep) + a Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition

Rules

Kindly inspired by https://help.launchpad.net/logo/

  • All maemo.org registered users can participate presenting one or more proposals under their name.
  • All the proposals will be submitted by the authors publicly in this wiki.
  • (Something needs to be said about the property/license of the winning logo. We should avoid the risk of an author abusing of rights in the future (i.e. "Take my logo out of your website and marketing materials, otherwise...")
  • The deadline for submissions is 2008/07/27 23:59 UTC.
  • One winner will be selected by (((procedure to be defined by the community - Nokia employees to stay out of the Jury, they can take part and even win if the jury thinks it's best, but can't get any prize)))

About the submissions:

  • (Sizes, weights, file formats to be defined)
  • "maemo.org" is the only text. No TM, no tagline.
  • The fonts used must have open license for use and distribution.
  • Fresh look recommended. No need to be tied to the current logo or maemo.org website design.
  • You can go for pure text or add complementary graphical elements. No mascots or stand alone graphics, though. Let's keep the simplicity.
  • Avoid any remembrance to Nokia fonts, color schemas or graphical elements.
