Dear friends of the FSFE,
I have taken the task to tell you the latest news about how we hope to have a logo for the FSFE soon.
There has been quite some discussion within the core team. We like to take the opportunity to again thank everybody who contributed to the effort. Every idea and draft was useful for us and needed so that we could make up our mind about coming up with a logo which is best for the the FSFE.
Up to now a couple of logos have been ruled out so far by members of the core team who feel strongly about not choosing such a logo:
- Anja's "GNU and Europe" is vetoed http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~anja/gnu/
- The "GNU" logo (which was also temporarily used on fsfeurope.org) is vetoed http://fsfeurope.org/images/gnulogo.jpg is vetoed
There are two main location where logo drafts still in discussion are collected:
http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~anja/gnu/textlogos/ http://www.gnu.org/people/greve/fsfe/
What will happen next: As we have been without a logo for a time to long and had not many more ideas or drafts coming, we will now go for a stricter schedule.
In the next week, everybody will have the last chance to come up with more drafts with open discussion.
We will have another three days of discussion without new drafts to be accepted.
The core team will decide which logo to elaborate for final use. (Note that this might include hiring a designer for a small fee.)
Best, Bernhard
