ht://Dig Logo/Template Contest

Purpose

New Logo: Many have felt that it is time to change the ht://Dig logo. If you think that the current logo (see below) could use some updating, please consider designing a new logo for us. The new logo will be included in the next release of ht://Dig.

Templates: The ht://Dig site would like to feature examples of search templates that can be used to format search results in different ways. If you have written a template that you think is interesting, please submit it.

Logo requirements

Large logo: not more than 200 x 120 pixels, JPEG, GIF, or PNG format (this should end up less than 10k, when compressed). Image should be designed on a white background.

Small logo: about 100 x 50 pixels. Transparent GIF or PNG format. This logo should be viewable on any color background, even a textured background.

How to Submit

You may either FTP the files to ftp.htdig.org/incoming, or attach them to an email to Benjamin Smedberg <41smedberg@cua.edu> If you are using MacroMedia FireWorks or Adobe Photoshop to create the images, please include the source files. If you upload the file via FTP, you should send a description via e-mail so we can contact you.

Recommendations

ht://Dig is the official title of the software. This should appear in both the small and large logos.
The subtitle of the software is "WWW Search Engine Software." While it is not necessary to include this in the large logo, if you can work it in that would be great!
Keep it simple. A strong, simple logo is much better than a cluttered one.
Indent your template files, so that others can see better how they are organized, using tables or whatever else.
