We want to have a great logo by then to give Tails the visual impact it deserves. The image and banner we have been using so far don't really do the job anymore...

So we're starting a contest for designers to create a logo for Tails. We have already brainstormed on the idea, and received some great proposals [[!tails_ticket 5797 desc="in the past"]]. Still, we had a hard time making our collective mind on a single proposal, and wanted to give more people a chance.

The image should convey the ideas behind Tails: secrecy, privacy, anonymity, mystery, simplicity (Tails is ready-to-use).

The logo has to be a bit serious, but not sad.

Until now we reuse the colors from Tor (green and purple), but this can be changed.

We cannot reuse directly the Tor or Debian logo, but evoking it is ok (use Tor colors, or evoking the Debian swirl).

The image should be suited to print on nice stickers that people want to have on their computers, and on t-shirts that people are happy to wear.

Make sure that the fonts that you use are compatible with GPL3+. To be on the safe side, use fonts available in Debian main, otherwise we will ask you to prove their compatibility with GPL3+.

English type: Plain text
As the logo will be used in quite different places, we encourage you to submit complementary materials. These are not strict requirements but will help us evaluate your proposal better. Besides, if your logo is chosen, we will need them anyway before we are able to put it to use publicly.
