[Qgis-developer] Re: [Qgis-community-team] New QGIS logo

[Noli Sicad]

+1 for a logo competition.

Then a sub category - (optional) icon set that matches with the submitted logo.

The maker of the winning logo + icon set would have the privilege to
be acknowledge (post URL) in the "About PopUp form" of the QGIS
releases.

I think this would encourage established icon designers (i.e.
individuals and companies) to submit their entry for the competition.

This event - icon competition would also promotes QGIS.

What do you think about the ideas?
