Roland Stigge donated a 1,5 x 1,5 meter swirl logo on "LKW-Plane". It's (I hope) located at the credativ office. I asked the FOSDEM and Cebit booth organizers whether they could use it, but the booths were too small each time for it apparently. > thats not hard to do and should always be possible. Uhm, do you have any idea how hard it is to design and produce a "prominent logo"? I assume Novell and RH spend lots of cash to professional booth-setup companies to have their expo appearance look professional. It's totally a different league. If anything, we could look at how *BSD, OOo, KDE, GNOME or Ubuntu handle their booths (they tend to look slightly more professional than ours on average) and see whethe we can learn anything about this.
