[Dfey-nw-discuss] Logo Competition - We have a winner!

[Tim Dobson]

It's been almost two and a half months since we started the competition 
for a permanent logo for DFEY.

We never expected to drag out for a month longer than originally 
intended... but neither did we expect the quantity or quality of the 
designs that were submitted.

A week ago we announced that we had joint winners - the most popular 
designs tied in the voting process and so we had to put the winners head 
to head, to decide our logo.

Unfortunately, despite these both these designs being exceptional, we 
can only have one logo...

The results are as follows:

Richard Querin #3: 111111 = 6
Samantha Bail #1:  111    = 3

To reflect that both designs, did in fact win the logo competition and 
that the head to head took place to decide which one to use, both 
winners will receive £40.

Many many thanks to all who took part. Without such diversity, I'm sure 
we would never had had such a wide collection of high quality, stunning 
designs.

DFEY relies on community support to keep going and it's great to know 
that there's so many willing to help out when they can! The Linux 
Outlaws podcast deserves a mention for plugging the competition and 
helping attract wider publicity. :)

The new DFEY logo is attached and will shortly replace all of the 
existing place holders.

Any questions surrounding the voting should be aimed at 
address@hidden - Many thanks again go to Robert Leverington for 
managing the voting.

P.S.
Richard's original submission email is published below, to provide 
clarification of the licencing status of the logo and historically 
record it in public.
