With the PTS GUI now mainly finished, and Michael working on making it all "tick", PTS is needing a logo.

The deadline is 20th of July. Still, feel free to submit early


What is needed

- a favicon

- 50x50 picture to be used for the program logo - so it'll show up in the applications menu, the dock, and in the window picture. svg preferrable.

- large picture (around or more than 300x50) picture, should include the words "Phoronix Test Suite", will be used on the website.

And some additional info...

- is your logo in svg format, or can you stick around and help us with the artwork when needed?

- are you willing to design the look for PTS Global? No website design skills (html, css) are required - only graphics are.

- please answer here.

And another addendum, if the logo is really good, a prize (cash or computer hardware) will be involved...

Michael, the font doesn't seem to load up in Gimp.

Did you throw it in your fonts: folder? It works fine here.

Here's the design I came up with:



Being a web guy, if I win the contest I'll design a custom template for PTS and build an Enano template around it if you guys want a slick interface for PTS Global.

Edit: Darn it, I messed up the name. Fixed. I also made a favicon version, will post that as soon as I can make up a PNG for it against different backdrops.

Edit 2: Here's the favicon:

Edit 3: Fixed borders on "suite"

Edit 4: Didn't realize there was a website already :-]

Everything's done in Inkscape so the SVGs can scale to any size.

Very interesting idea with the tachometer inside the P Though the "suite" text looks a bit off.

Being a web guy, if I win the contest I'll design a custom template for PTS and build an Enano template around it if PTS ever needs a website.

I was talking about Vadi with this... Yes, the winner may be offered a role designing the graphics for a slick PTS Global interface.

I thought the word suite looked out of place as well. I edited my original post with an updated version.
