A box of sweets for a logo. You'll probably get only bad entries and in the end there will be another OSS software with a bad identity that looks like some programmer made it up (in most cases they do).
My suggestions is that you must know some graphic designers in person, or your local University must have a Visual Communications department. Go ask them if their students would make logo as a part of the course brief. They get a credit on working on an actual client logo, that can be quite a thing when you are still at Uni. Other options is to as you local friendly designer to make it.
Just my opinion on the matter. And I contributed design to a local FOSS community, but they asked nicely and you get feedback and can talk about identity and brand and usage. Here is like a pop quiz and brands don't get designed that way.
- antirez 16y agoI agree in general terms, but here the idea is that for the "Redis way" it is paradoxically better to have a logo obtained in this way that may not be so super cool from the point of view of a professional designed, than something that will be very professional and well conceived based on the target and so forth. Also note that the first entries we got were the one done by programmers in five minutes :) The best entires will get more time I bet, but will be more interesting. UPDATE: anyway I put a few design guidelines in the logo contest site, so that the professional designer can have some inspiration and background.
