Tails Devs,

Here are links to a proposal, re: "The Logo Contest":

The designer would like to remain anon as much as possible, although we
realize any internet-savvy person could track down the individual. It is
not entirely clear what "FREE LICENCE" & GPL3+ means legally but it is
understood in a general sense this work is being done gratis. Tails is
important and this is recognized.

Notes on concept:

We are not 100% satisfied with the concept but feel it "works".

We will not be offended if you want to take the concept and have another
designer "work it" like you want it. "Take it", "leave it", or "work
it"--all good. Fun was had regardless.

Significant effort was put into meeting: "secrecy, privacy, anonymity,
mystery, simplicity"--without running into WHONIX's "visual territory"
-- or moving into TOR's "branding".


1. Outer box conveys "screen", "safe", & "computer"--"face to computer".

2. Inner shape conveys "USB" downward as a visual cue: "ready-to-use".

3. "White", re: propaganda conveys "SOURCE KNOWN". "Physical security of
Tails on "your" USB, in "your" control and possession.

4. "Grey", re: propaganda conveys "ORIGIN UNKNOWN" or two layers
(metaphorically) of "hidden origin" and hence this is good--a "smile".

5. X101X = "Protected"--"Enclosed"--"The Individual, and by extension,
'DATA', is protected. Reversing as 01X10, didn't seem to make "visual
sense" in vertical line with O---i---0. [CIRCLE/SOUL/DISC/"Platter for
encoding information" --- Little I --- ZERO, safe]

6. Font is: Aairchat, generic.
