Hi,
Below is a direct link to my Tails logo entry.
http://s12.postimg.org/k4na2rv0d/Tails_maze.jpg
I've produced three versions of the logo, presented together so that you are
more easily able to compare them to each other. Note the subtle differences
in the treatment of the letters "a" and "s"; he different versions of the
inbound and outbound data symbology; and the placement of the dots along the
outside edge of the "maze":
Notes:
* My goal was to obscure the word "Tails" so that, at first glance, the logo
hides within the maze-like blocks.
* If chosen, I will gladly produce the additional materials noted on your
website at
https://tails.boum.org/news/logo_contest/index.en.html
* If requested, I can pull together another few samples that mix and match
elements of the three versions
* My approach to logo design is to always start with grayscale. If chosen, I
will produce some color options.
* The logo, as designed, is 100% vectored within Adobe Illustrator, and does
not use any fonts. If requested, I can produce a version that includes a
tagline. IMHO: a logo should stand apart from a tagline. That said, there
will be times when a tagline is used. Therefore, if chosen, I will be glad a
tag lined version.
If you'd like to discuss the design, I can be found on Skype as "spandata".
Thank you,
Jesse McKay
