maemo.org logo contest

Latest revision as of 14:32, 19 April 2010

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.

[edit] Results

After the many great entries recieved during the contest, the judges decided on this logo from Glauber Olivier to represent the Maemo community:

The Maemo web team will now proceed to update maemo.org to use this new logo.

[edit] Contest procedure

The logo contest was organized in the following terms:

• Design the new maemo.org logo
• Submit it before the 27th of July 2008
• Win a trip to OSiM World and the Maemo Summit (Berlin, 17-19/Sep) + a Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition

[edit] Rules

Inspired by https://help.launchpad.net/logo/ (with some ideas integrated from http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/LogoContest)

• 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.
• Logo submitters agree to licence their submissions under Creative Commons BY-ND. The submitter will keep ownership, and be credited as the designer of the logo.
• The deadline for submissions is 2008/07/27 23:59 UTC.
• No age restrictions apply to submission, but some prizes may not be feasible for underage contestants.
• One winner will be selected by a procedure to be defined by the community.
• Nokia employees may enter the competition, but are not eligible to receive a prize, in the event that they win. In the case a Nokia employee's submission is chosen, the prize will go to the runner-up.
• The winning logo should be original, and clear of trademark encumbrance.

[edit] Submission guidelines

• Logos must be available in a vector format (SVG, PDF, AI), but should be submitted as PNG.
• The size of the logo should be approximately 500 pixels on its longest axis.
• The winning logo will be used in contexts ranging from a small 16x16 favicon to a high quality t-shirt print, and should adapt well to all resolutions in between.
• "maemo.org" should be the only text used. It should be converted to paths in your vector format file.
• Fresh look recommended. No need to be tied to the current logo or maemo.org website design.
• The best logo will represent the values of the maemo.org community.
• Avoid any resemblance to Nokia fonts, color schemes or graphical elements.
• Avoid gradients, and prefer a small number of colours.

[edit] Post-contest

• The winner plus whoever else wants to help will develop also designs for a shirt and a sticker. Nokia will fund the production. They will be distributed in the Maemo Summit and other channels to be decided.

[edit] Procedure for submitting logos

Submitters must have a maemo account, and sign their entries in the wiki.

Submitters must follow the following procedure for submitting their logos:

1. The logo will be uploaded to Special:Upload. Please name your images in this format:

Maemo.org_logo_contest_<your username>[_<entry number>].png

and enter this into the summary:

maemo.org logo contest entry from [[User:<your username>]]

1. After the logo has been uploaded, the user should then add their submission to the bottom of maemo.org logo contest submissions in this format:

=== <your username> ===
 
[[Image:Maemo.org_logo_contest_<your username>.png]]

or use the template created to do this for you:

{{Logo entry|<your username>}}

For example, User:GeneralAntilles's submission would be uploaded here: Image:Maemo.org_logo_contest_GeneralAntilles.png, and his entry would look like:

{{Logo entry|GeneralAntilles}}

Users submitting several entries should use a gallery, like this:

=== username ===

<gallery widths="300px" perrow="3">
Image:Maemo.org_logo_contest_[username]_1.png|Caption 1
Image:Maemo.org_logo_contest_[username]_2.png|Caption 2
Image:Maemo.org_logo_contest_[username]_3.png|Caption 3
</gallery>

which will result in something like this:
