I've only managed that one thought - been a really slow week in the 'thought department'. :-) > > 1. a contest can be more work than just creating a logo. Hmm... well... true: 1. Define requirements for a logo 2. Sit back and wait while logos are submitted 3. Vote [see 'informal' comment below] > > 2. as i speak with more professional designers they are put off by the idea > of > a contest in that it is doing work 'on spec' and no one worth their weight > really does that in the design world. they are not as invested in the open > sourceyness of it all. *whew* This takes a load off - Barry! You're not worth your weight! (Barry's a good designer, but a bit hefty) *making note that Barry gets paid too much* I've truly not noticed this at all. When given requirements, designers can be just like us normal people <insert laugh here> and do things just cuz they enjoy them. Then again - no one said a company couldn't submit logos for inclusion either. > > 3. could be a good if we use it for some outside marketing, but otherwise can > result in 'too many cooks in the kitchen'. Not at all - not a case of "too many cooks in the kitchen" - a case of "many cooks in their own kitchen, we just vote to see what we're eating" > > that said, i willing to put up and help manage a contest site if desired.

Informal comment: http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/LogoContest - simple. Been done and worked out pretty well. Make the rules, let logos be submitted, wait appropriate amount of time (as designated in 'rules') - and vote (although people are free to vote and change their vote at any time up until voting is 'done'). The process works if it's used. Not saying it's the only process - just that there's one that's been used and it worked. > > in regards to the feather and apache - agree that feather is not necessary and > clutter, we can have versions that can include it, but otherwise tap logo > really needs it's own distinction. Feather. No feather. Can look good with. Can look good without. To each his logo. I wouldn't discount one with - or without. Those are my *counting change*... *recounting*... .01 *grumbling about that stupid penny* -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEbh5KaCoPKRow/gARAjpBAJsFaQhe8choNsoN6ElomUfH1A2umgCgpD/A FioMdspKcH0Ns0zI8uMwF30= =c5PJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
