Freeware symbol and logo

[Susan Bugher]

It's better than the other one, however I think it limits the meaning of
freeware to that of no money involved. IMO it's crucial that we avoid this
misunderstanding, so in this respect I prefer the other one I saw (that with
the hands and the diskette), though I'd like better a more stylized one.

I like that one too. IMO the diskette is a good symbol for software.
ISTM a bit more is needed to clearly symbolize the free aspect. Maybe a
ribbon and bow?

or. . .

Leave out the hands - show the diskette with wings (angel wings?) and a
ribbon and bow?

or????

Just my personal view. Actually my artistic abilities are less than those of
my dog!

You are not alone.

the cupped hands seems more suggestive of caring for the diskette than
giving it away

I started a thread about this earlier, where I challenged the
artistic and creative among us to make a freeware symbol or logo.
My intention was that it could be used on freeware sites and in
freeware programs.

I just want to express my opinion about the alt.comp.freeware logo.
Imho, it should :

- be rather non animated
- rather computer/software related than fairie/elf related
- have neutral colors (not flashy) that could suit several types of
sites
- mention 'freeware' and 'alt.comp.freeware' and preferably
nothing else.

Of course, these are only my 2 cents.

Add other 2 cents from me.
