i just stumbled upon this really slick "made with
ardour" logo:

Those logos Thorwil created are really superb!
in fact this is something i've been looking for,
cause it's way
sexier than just a note saying "created with ardour". the problem
with this particular logo is that it doesn't work very well when
space is limited (such as on a cd jewel case inlay), because the
fontwork that expresses the actual message is rather small compared
to the total size, and that it imposes too many design constraints
through its color.
what i'm looking for is something that
a) will advertise the fact that this product here has been created
with ardour and other free software
b) will look really cool and
professional
c) will scale down to ridiculously small size while
still transporting the message
d) will work in black and transparent, or alternatively a set of
two or three (at most) custom-chosen colors matching
whatever sleeve design i have to deal with (because usually
clients will need to be talked into accepting it, so it has
to blend in)
In addition to "cover art", I would think a "made with <your open
source program(s)>" logo could also be used on websites, e.g.
MySpace, and in downloadable music files, e.g. MP3s. For open
source use, I would really like to see logos licensed via the
author's choice of some combination of Creative Commons options.
Nice topic...
