Announcing the winner of the FSF40 Anniversary Logo Contest
Question mark over a red background
Thank you to all the participants sending in your work, and to the associate members voting in the FSF Anniversary Logo Contest. After a galvanizing race, we're excited to announce the logo for the fortieth anniversary of the Free Software Foundation (FSF)!
Several hundred FSF associate members cast a ballot. While forty-two associate members voted on logo B designed by Children's Design International Collection, and Iván's logo submissions received fifty-six votes in sum, the winning design is Logo F created by JL with a total of 120 votes. Congratulations, JL! We can't wait to see the logo being displayed across our homepages and printed on the celebration materials!
JL designed this awesome logo with the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). This proves once more that you can create award-winning designs with free software.
A big thank you to all those who participated in the contest, be it by designing a logo, by voting on your favorite logo, or by spreading the word! The FSF is proud to be a community-supported organization, sustained by this awesome community!
What's next? It's only seven weeks until the start of the big FSF and GNU memorabilia auction! We're really excited to present some exhilarating objects, some collector's items, and funky stuff to you. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire your personal, unique piece of history!
