Tails launches a logo contest
On the 29th of April, we will release Tails 1.0. This will be an important symbolic milestone about 5 years after our first public releases. We want to have a great logo by then to give Tails the visual impact it deserves. The image and banner we have been using so far don't really do the job anymore... So we're starting a contest for designers to create a logo for Tails. We have already brainstormed on the idea, and received some great proposals in the past. Still, we had a hard time making our collective mind on a single proposal, and wanted to give more people a chance.
