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/ (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.
- DRAFT: Logo submitters agree to grant Nokia a perpetual irrevocable licence to use the logo. 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.
- One winner will be selected by (((procedure to be defined by the community - Nokia employees to stay out of the jury if there is one. They can vote if there is voting, they can submit proposals and even win if the jury/majority thinks it's best, but can't get any prize. In that case the prize would go to the finalist)))
About the submissions: See Talk:Task:maemo.org_logo_contest#Rules_Discussion for discussion
- Logos should be available in a vector format (SVG, PDF, AI), but should be submitted as PNG. The size of the logo should be between 500 and 750 pixels on its longest axis.
- If your logo uses text, the only text it should use is "Maemo" or "maemo.org", and this 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 Maemo and the Maemo community.
- Avoid any resemblance to Nokia fonts, color schemas or graphical elements.
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.
