PovClipse logo challenge

PovClipse still lacks a highly recognizable logo making it uniquely identifiable.

The goal of this challenge is to let PovClipse have an official logo by the 1.0.0 version, being probably released summer this year.

Challenge process

All logos sent in will be shown at the Gallery and voting page along with the authors name and description (see the requirement below).

After challenge closing a voting mechanism is activated. The voting will be open to the public from 2007-Aug-01 00:00:00 GMT to 2007-Aug-28 23:59:59 GMT allowing to vote for the best logo.

The PovClipse logo will be picked from the top 3 voted logos.

Winner's trophy

The trophy for the winner is the honor of having created the official PovClipse logo.
Sorry, but as PovClipse is a non-commercial project no money or goods can be given as price.
The winner is given honor on the PovClipse credit page.
