Hi, two recent contests that I saw produce good designs include 1) To create an international symbol for the Indian currency (Rupee) similar to the Dollar Mark $: This was run in India and saw the creation of a new design, which has attracted strong opinions, both for and against, from everyone here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee
2) Artwork by an 11 year old in India for a Google4Doodle competition I believe that this got more attention mainly because of the artist's capabilities. But it did get strong publicity in India, a very large market for Google. http://www.hindu.com/2010/11/14/stories/2010111461620100.htm IMHO, the logo for the product/brand should come from professional artists after a detailed discussion and analysis. Once the logo is in place, and branding and marketing communications begin, TDF could use a logo competition for publicity and marketing. This competition could happen in the summer of 2011, when school is out. thanks Dhiren Jani Gujarat, India > From: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 20:00:21 +0800 > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Logo/mascot competition > To: [email protected] > > Hi, :-) > > I've been watching this thread accumulate some responses to the idea > of a logo competition, and I also had responses in a couple of > off-list messages, so I guess one could say that I've been answered. > To summarize: "No - in any case, certainly not at this time.
