    The current abc logo is not so nice to say the least.
    Anybody who thinks he can make a better one, please do so and post it here!

    The logo should be in jpg format,
    and have a suitable format to post on the frontpage
    in the left corner. about as big as the image
    with the ABC letters together with the text @HOME.

    The winner will get eternal ABC fame and deserved
    credits (not boinc credits).

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo

      A logo (from the Greek λογότυπος = logotipos) is a graphical element, symbol, or icon.

        Errm.. I don't see any inconsistence there. So what's your problem?

              Bullshit. A LOGO is a logo. It needs no NECESSARY name. You can always put your 'name' somewhere else on your pages.


              Wow.... take it easy "Chance's Flying Circus" , no need to get rude on the forum.

              The "old" logo has "ABC" on it, so what's the prob?

              At least if "ABC" is visible, it will instantly distinguish it from any other project's logo (most of which have their "name" in them as well).


              PS: @ verhoek, good to hear about the 64 bit app. Haartelijk bedankt van Australie

              (hope thats right, long time since I lived in Holland.)

                That was a bit of a hasty reply.

                Your next post directed us to this -



                which is what one would expect from a logo..............

                  Hey Veebee, thanks. It's almost correct, it's hartelijk :)
                  Jij ook bedankt. Nice work people, it's already better than what we have.

                                        Dear Lord :(

                                        OK now ... i'm trying to do one myself now.
                                        Since it's hard to find some usefull logo material that looks like something usefull it'll take some days.

                                        When do we have to finish this ?

                                          Dear Lord :(

                                          OK now ... i'm trying to do one myself now.
                                          Since it's hard to find some usefull logo material that looks like something usefull it'll take some days.

                                          When do we have to finish this ?



                                          According to one of verhoeks earlier posts, by "Sunday" or so.

                                          That will give you about 3 or 4 days to get it done, perfected, in and win !

                                            I don't think we'll hear anything from Cruncher anymore,
                                            so I think it's over. Thanks everybody for their amazing work,
                                            I will try to make a page with all the logo's.

                                            The one coming on the frontpage will be one of Cori's,
                                            the first one probably, so congratulations to Cori!

                                            However, the mathematics in the right
                                            corner could you replace

                                            max (a,b,c) < C \\eps
                                            by
                                            c < K(\\eps)

                                            because c is always the max, the numbers are all positive,
                                            and C times epsilon should be C or K depending on epsilon.

                                              Wow, thanks a lot, Hendrik! :-)

                                              Ok, I hope I made it correct now... to be true I just took that formula from the internet and rewrote it with Photoshop. I didn't have a clue what it really meant.



                                              Better now?

                                                Hi, thanks for editing, well actually it's worse now :)

                                                Can you remove entirely the max(a,b,c) thing,
                                                and remove the backslash before the epsilon?

                                                        I know. I made some and sent them to Hendrik, but they are a bit hard to read so maybe I have to do another design. ;-)

                                                        Unfortunately I haven't got much time these days so it may take a while if I don't have a good inspiration within the next hour. *LOL*

                                                          So maybe these ones will do:



                                                          favicon 16x16





                                                          favicon 32x32





                                                          stat icon for simple GUI (40x40)



                                                          EDIT: I've tried with the original white background but you can't read it... so I decided to switch to the black bg. The letters are still the same as in the new logo. :-)
