Debian Chooses a New Logo

>> News

Debian has, as the result of a GIMP Logo contest <http://contest.gimp.org/> chosen
a new logo. The logo was selected by a vote of the Debian
developers (see <http://www.debian.org/vote/>
for more information), and the winning entry was submitted by Raul
M. Silva of onShore, Inc. and can be seen on the main Debian web
pages.

Licenses and conditions for use can be found at <http://www.debian.org/logos/

Regarding the selection of his logo (affectionately known as
‘the swirl’) by the Debian project, Raul said, “I’m very pleased
that we’re able to give something back to the Debian community.
We’ve been very happy with Debian GNU/Linux, and have been working
with it internally and for our clients for a number of years
now.”

As the winner of the contest, Raul receives a debian.org email
address as well as a CD of the latest Debian distribution for the
architecture of his choice. Debian wishes to thank all of the
participants in the contest.
