Closed!

The new logo is created on mainly the one submitted by Adam, thanks to you all who contributed.




As with all organisations it would be nice it we have a logo that we can place on all official documents and the top left corner of a wiki etc. So lets start cracking on with a logo then. Below are the requirements and if any of you guys have a suggestion or have an actual logo submission then post them below that. Bear in mind that if you think of anymore requirements or disagree with what has been placed down, feel free to add them or discuss them where appropriate. The discussion page should be used to discuss the submissions and the rest of the content on the page.

Requirements

Deadline To be determined.
File Formats
  • Submission Format can be any reasonable format i.e. png or SVG

However as this logo may be used on various documents that the community may or may not produce, the final logo needs to be scalable in order to suit any future size requirements. So the 'MASTER' format should be vector graphics format.

Theme The logo's theme should revolve around the following two topics:
  1. Computer Security
  2. The Auguste Community

the Suggestions/Theme section has some ideas.

On Colour Ideally there are no restrictions on colour however certain circumstances can dictate the colour schemes that is either:
  • Black and White/ Greyscale
    • if in future we want to place them on t-shirts
  • Colour
    • in almost all other cases

So if possible it might be a good idea to have two versions on for print the other for clothing.

Licensing We would like to avoid at all costs plagiarism and law suits in relation to copyright theft. To avoid this it is a good idea that:
  1. The logo MUST either be your own work or a collaborative effort.
  2. Any and all rights regarding the logo allows its use by the community. OR
  3. You work has been licensed under a copy-left license (such as Creative Commons) and as such can be freely used by the community.
