Rules

The contest is actually 2 contests. The first contest will be for the main logo for the website. The second contest is for a design of icons for the website.


Main Site Logo
The main site logo will be the design for sites main logo which will appear in the space where "Gentoo-Portage.com Beta" resides. I am giving you free reign on how it should look (within reason).
Some suggestions/answers to help you win:
  • For the name on the logo, you may use "Gentoo-Portage" or "Gentoo-portage.com"
  • Create a version of your logo with and without a "Beta" stamp
  • No, you cannot use the Gentoo "G"
  • Yes, you can include the search bar into your logo
Website Icons/buttons
The icons and buttons submissions should include all of the following buttons (feel free to include more, it cant hurt):
  • A favicon for the site (ico or png)
  • An RSS button (you may use the existing one if you wish)
  • Track / Stop Tracking buttons for the package pages
  • An "Ebuild" icon/button to signify the downloading of an ebuild
  • An "Ebuild" icon/button to signify viewing of the ebuild
  • A "mini" logo for the website (to be given out to for other sites to link here, use your discretion for the size)
  • A "-" button for use on the "My Homepage" page
  • An "Upload Image" Button for use on each package page
The old website has images or words for most of these icon/button actions, you may want to check it out for idea on how these icons might be used. Gentoo-portage.com

For both contests DO NOT use the Gentoo "G" for anything, the Gentoo people have seen fit to not allow the use of their logo for anything non-official anymore. The new Logo should reflect this.
