And a logical first step. Again, Adobe Acrobat comes immediately to mind. I nominate Netscape Communicator for a "Designed for" logo, since they take to time to produce a FreeBSD-specific release. > Yes, this may seem to be "stating the obvious" but we are talking > advertising now.

If make a logo it > will be gross.) Ditto for me. Do we have a house artist available? I agree it should be recognizable as a FreeBSD logo. We may want to make a little squarish logo as well, for product boxes and such. I hope we can get these onto boxes. ;^) If you send me your "Works with" artwork I'll do my best to make the "Designed for" version. Perhaps we should use a different color in the color bar to differentiate the two? I propose to make the color bar "true blue" for the "Designed for" logo. ;^) This is a great start. Do we have a volunteer to start on the web page? Once we get the web page up, describing the initial logo-qualified products, I'll be glad to write a news flash, or perhaps even an article, for Daemon News. (Along with SlashDot, LWN, etc.) -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
