Calling All Artists and Designers: The Open Font Library Logo Competition Announced
The Open Font Library (OFLB, http://www.openfontlibrary.org) is proud to announce the commencement of the Open Font Library Logo competition today, February 26, 2007. Artists and designers of all ranges are invited to make a logo to help identify the project. Judging will take place by contributors to the project, Alex Roberts (bovinity), Liftarn, and Zeimusu, who will select the winning logo. The last chance to submit submissions is March 14, 2007 at 11:59 PM PST. After that, the judges will select a logo within five days from the submission closing date.
Other guidelines on the contest include that all submissions must be dedicated to the public domain in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format which may be edited in all major drawing application, like the free SVG editor Inkscape.
Contributors may upload as many submissions as they would like and optionally submit bitmap graphics showing how their logo might look on the site. The project is not committed to the current green color on the site, so please feel free to think of how the site should be colored around your submission.
The Open Font Library encourages all participants to join the Open Font Library mailing list to discuss this competition and to participate in the project. Discussion also takes place on Freenode's #openclipart channel.
While this competition is about creating a great logo, the project hopes to interest hopeful font designers and software developers in building up this project.

About the Open Font Library:
The Open Font Library (http://www.openfontlibrary.org) sets out to create an archive of freely usable fonts for anyone to download and share. If this sounds familiar, its because it is the new sister project of the Open Clip Art Library (http://www.openclipart.org). While the OFLB site is just getting started, with only few fonts so far, the goal is to build it up so into a useful resource for the free software and open source communities - and the whole world.
For More Information:
Please see http://openfontlibrary.org/?ccm=/OFLBLogo for details about this contest.
It closes March 14 at 11:59 PM PST.
