Logo contest
Page now kept for historical interest, many thanks to Joschka Lingemann for designing the winning HSF logo.
It’s time the HSF had a logo, so we’re holding a contest. Put your creativity to work and send your proposals to the HSF startup team.
How to submit
To facilitate things, we offer two possibilities:
- you upload your proposed logo to http://it.wikitolearn.org/Main_HSF_Page/Some_proposals_for_the_HSF_logo
- you can submit your proposal by e-mail to:
- dario.menasce@cern.ch
- riccardo@kde.org
Deadline
The deadline for submission is April 18th 2016.
After the deadline there will be a community-wide vote on selecting the best logo: people will vote using a site specifically setup for this purpose, whose URL will be circulated at the end of the submission period.
Voting period
The voting site will be open between April 19th, 2016 and May 6th, 2016: vote here!
Our wish list for valid submissions
In addition to your idea for a great looking logo, there are a few technical conditions we suggest to make your contribution useful to the community:
- The logo has to be in a scalable, non-raster, vectorform (PDF/SVG/EPS),
- The logo should work both in coloured and monochrome representations,
- We would need versions of it in different aspect ratios allowing different usages (like top-banners, side-banners, etc),
- Size or just color variations of the same picture will be grouped under a single image for voting purposes.
- Nice-to-have - but not a requirement - is making the original file you used for creation of the logo available.
Finally, we would like to put - at least a variant of - the logo under a free license, so that other projects can use it to denote a connection with the HSF. Similar to the concept of the open use logo of the Debian project.
Looking forward to your ideas!
