As I somehow started this thread, I want to throw in some thoughts too.
First, instead of sending logos to the mailing lists, we should really collect them on the pure-data side (I still use pine, and its not setup to view images !).
Then as it is a contest, I think it does not make too much sense to make restrictions. If someone thinks it can only be black and white and one should see the pixels ... ok.
I think that having some restrictions actually encourages creativity.
Since it is a logo for Pd, why not have it made in Pd? I don't mean
purely, of course, just the basic idea. You can make .ico or .icns
files in Pd (yet? :). But it was just a suggestion, people are of
course free to do anything they want.
People can submit the logos together with their reasoning why they
made it this way and why it is the best of all, the only thing that we would
have to do at end somehow together is to agree on one ...I think the best way is that some one (hc ?) makes an official like description how to submit the logos (deadline in two weeks or so), then we make preselections and go together through the decision
process.
This has become more of a logo than icon contest, so I renamed the
page. Plus I added instructions:
http://www.pure-data.org/community/logos
.hc
It would be nice if the outcome would be other artwork too, like pd-backgrounds, pd-shirts, pd-mugs, pd-underwear, etc aso ..

don't quite understand why i should create a pixel editor with pd to
get the same result as with an "icon editor" program ???-andre

I think the yin/yang came up because it looks like the letters Pd,
but I agree, I don't see a strong connection to Pd. I personally think
that the icon should be designed in Pd, since Pd is all about creating
media.I agree. Since pd is "graphically challenged", the logos and icons
should be designed accordingly. Included is my pd icon, made with pd on
Linux (it's only 137 bytes). Earlier this summer, I installed the actual pure-data.org logo, made by patrick@11h11.com.-- Marc
