Graphics Contest

law February 23rd, 2006

We are searching for a new logo, bootsplash-images and backgrounds. So we decided to start a graphics contest.

We split the Contest into 3 main parts:

Logo The logo should stay in combination with the zaurus and open-source. We would like to use that logo on website. 224 colors version would be nice bonus for usage as kernel booting logo.

Bootsplash Two different orientations of the logo should be created: a landscape one and a portait one. SVG templates are available from the following links:

landscape portrait

Background

It would be nice if the same background could be used on all devices, so different sizes are needed. Sending one size is allowed - other sizes can be created after contest.

Needed sizes:

  • 640×640 for VGA devices
  • 640×480 for VGA landscape
  • 480×640 for VGA portait
  • 240×320 for QVGA portrait

320×240 for QVGA landscape will be nice but not required

Mail your images to openzaurus-users mailing list .

Rules

Graphics should stay in combination with the Zaurus and OpenSource. Allowed formats: SVG, XCF or PNG. Graphics should be provided on any OSI approved license (GPL/LGPL/BSD are one of them).

Deadline: 1st April 2006.

    I am a relative newcomer to the Zaurus, so my apologies if this is an obvious question. Are there any size specifications for the logo or bootsplash?

    there are bootsplash templates available, sizes for background also documented in the text above.

    Will there be a prize? Perhaps a new Zaurus?

    Will there be an area on the site hosting the images for people to look at?

    Hi,
    deadline was two weeks ago.
    Any news on this subject, or I missed something?
