Hi all, My employer has authorized me to sponsor a logo design contest on 99designs.com for a new Apache Shiro logo:
http://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/amazing-logo-needed-global-software-project-44769?orderby=rating There are 3 days remaining for submissions. Votes may continue to be held for 7 days thereafter. The winner will be awarded $295.00 USD (via 99designs.com) and the logo will be immediately donated to the ASF where it will be available under the Apache 2.0 license. If you don't wish to enter the contest - and don't want a shot at some free $ ;) - you can alternatively submit logo designs to this Jira issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-171 Any new logo chosen will be based 100% on the Shiro community's votes. The logo with the most votes wins! Les ----- The reason for the contest: We have had a number of issues with the old logo: we can't find the old .psd files to modify to meet ASF naming requirements, and we also haven't been able to contact the designer we've used years ago to help. Also, the existing logo was not designed by a person with a CLA on file with the ASF, so there is gray area as to its use now that we're a part of Apache. By hosting a competition, the community can vote on their favorite, in classic ASF fashion.
