Final Draft for Logo Competition

[Jason Bainbridge]

Please review and provide any suggestions within the next 24 hours
before I post it on the Dot for this weekend. Is the max filesize of
400*80px okay? I'm fairly happy with most of the rest of it. :-)

Competition to design new KDE.org website logo
 
The KDE Web Team would like to announce a new competition to design a
logo for the KDE.org website to complement the new site  design, the
competition will run for just over a month with entries closing on 30th
April 2003. The prize for the competition  will be the honour of having
your work displayed on KDE.org and its subdomains, with full credit
given for each use of the  image. Artists are also encouraged to
contribute other artwork they feel would improve the look of the website
such as icons  for the various main sections namely Inform, Download,
Communicate, Develop, Explore, Search, Hotspot and KDE Family.
 
The only requirements for the contents of the image for the logo are as
follows:
 
- It contains a variation of the KDE gear
(http://www.kde.org/stuff/images/kdelogo_svg.png or
http://static.kdenews.org/dot.kde.org/TopicImages/official.gif). 
- The text be limited to "K Desktop Environment" or KDE as it is
envisioned the image will be used on sites with languages  other than
English

The logo should be no more than 400 by 80 pixels in size and be in PNG
format. The logo should also be able to be easily  customised for each
of the KDE.org subdomains such as Usability and PIM so it is a
requirement that the source file also be  available, it would be
preferrable if this was in Gimp's .XCF format but Photoshop's .PSD will
also be acceptable, any fonts  used for the image will also need to be
made available.

All images will need to be licensed under one of the following licenses:
GNU General Public License, GNU Free Documentation  License, The Design
Science License or The Free Art License detailed at the following link
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#OtherLicenses.

To enter the competition please email your image in PNG format (under
40kb please) to webmaster at kde.org, then once the  competition has closed
the KDE Web Team will review all entries making a shortlist of the best
entries received. The author's  of the shortlisted entries will then be
asked to provide the source image file and fonts used for their design
and the  shortlist will then be used to form a poll that will be open to
the public and run over the course of 2 weeks. The winner of  the
competition will be announced here on dot.kde.org and of course notified
by email with their work displayed as the new  logo for KDE.org.

If you have any queries about the competition please email
webmaster at kde.org.
