SEOpen Icon Design Contest
This contest has concluded, big thanks to everyone who participated. You can see the entrys and winner here.
The SEOpen Firefox Extension icon-logo is pretty lame. I designed it using The GIMP in about 10 minutes because I didn't like the default "puzzle piece" icon. The icon I'm talking about is the one seen in the Extensions menu, as seen on the right.
So I'd like to see a new one, but I'm almost as bad at graphic design as I am at Firefox extension development (stop nodding your head, that was a joke). If you'd like to help me out and create a new icon, I'd be forever in your debt.
Here's the deal:
- I need the same icon in two sizes: 100 x 100 and 32 x 32
- In .png format
- I'll put the file size limit at "reasonable", because these can be compressed, this isn't a major concern
- The winning design will need to be released under one of these two Creative Commons licenses or to the public domain so it can be used in this extension (and other works) in the spirit in which it was intended
- I will be the sole judge, asking input from a few people who have kept me out of trouble in the past
- You can use whatever software you want as long as the product meets the other rules (I'll guarantee cool points to anything made using Krita on openSUSE 10.1 Beta 3)
- The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 24th, 2006.
- The winner will be announced within a few days of the deadline.
- To enter, post the 100 x 100 version to this thread at WebProWorld (I am "flood6" over there). If for some reason you refuse to join WebProWorld to post your submission, email it to me and I'll post it for you.
- The winner will get a text link to a site of their choice on the SEOpen Extension page, attribution on the same page, and attribution in the extension's code. That page gets a few dozen unique visitors a day and is currently a PR 6. The URL and anchor text requested will have to be reasonable (most adult sites are OK, but "hate" sites or anything that will get me GoogleSlapped won't work).
I think that about covers it. If there are any questions or comments about this contenst, please post them to the thread mentioned in the rules. I'm not planning on changing the rules, but reserve the right to do so before the deadline in case something unexpected happens.
