I love nothing more than a good old fashioned logo contest like the one being held by DataPortablity. Even though I went down for the count in the Ruby logo contest, despite clearly having the logo with the mojo , I’m giving the DataPortability contest a shot.

The reason they’re having the contest is because RedHat sent them a cease and desist letter over their current logo’s similarity to RedHat’s Fedora Infinity logo. Cease and desist letters are no fun, and not usually worth fighting, so the logo contest is a great solution. My Whackapol game earned me a cease and desist from Bob’s Space Racers the makers of Whack-a-mole, I guess if you had one good idea in the last 37 years you have to protect it right? (not that I’m bitter or anything). It was a good lesson though, since then all my own logos have been researched and copyright protected/trade-marked.

Here are the entries, the fourth one is the awesomest

The contest runs until the 11th so you still have time to enter!
