regarding new logo...
I'm wondering when the new logo will officially be used for FreeBSD and I'm also wondering if you have the contact info for Anton Gural, the designer who created the new logo.

Re: regarding new logo...
You like the logo? Speaking as a lecturer at the Royal Academy of Arts, on behalf of myself and a lot of other designers, the new FreeBSD logo is worthless. It's useless eyecandy. As if we don't have enough of that already. The logo competition wasn't held properly. It was only announced internally within FreeBSD's circles and not promoted through design universities, communities and such. Also the people hosting the competition have acted rather arrogant towards many that I know who just wanted to help. Second, only a few selected people (who may not know anything about design as far as we're concerned) got to choose the logo. In my opinion, it is to show how the FreeBSD project itself neglects its real life users. The logo is, again, eyecandy. Though in some cases pleasant to look at, it does not fulfill the criterias of a modern day logo. These, however, do: http://youworkforthem.com/product.php?sku=P0370 Anyway Don Poynter, his e-mail is gak at tomsksoft dot com.

I like everything I see here: http://logo-contest.freebsd.org/result/640-1.png but it's mostly just eyecandy. The only logo candidates I see on the page are the two tone black and white beastie heads. Anyways onto the FedEx logo, one of the best branding logos I can think of: http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000273.php -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
