Hi folks, Thanks for such a great response to the choice for the name of the conference. 'PyDelhi Conference' was selected as the name. Next step is to select a Logo for the same. This goes out to the artists in our midst, we are looking for a Logo for our first PyDelhi Conference. PyDelhi Conference is an annual conference with experts from various fields giving talks on their respective subjects. Since PyDelhi Conference is a volunteer driven event, it would be apt if the new logo comes from the community itself. Thus, we are organising a Logo Making Competition. The agenda is simple, make a logo for 'PyDelhi Conference'. The logo should relate to Python. Be as creative as you can. Size of the logo: Square, 1:3 ratio (wide version) Format of the logo: .eps, .ai, editable pdf, .svg. (any one, in order of preference) Submit your entries at : Just give us a link to your art. The winning entry shall be used as the logo of PyDelhi Conference, and the winner shall get a T-shirt. The winning entry shall be decided by a vote via a Google Form, following approval of PSF[1] The rules are as follows: 1) You cannot use copyrighted content. 2) You cannot pass someone else's work as your own. Plagiarism shall not be tolerated, and you shall be disqualified. 3) You can submit multiple entries. 4) The competition ends on September 9. No entries shall be entertained after that. 5) You must adhere to the guidelines put forward by PSF regarding the usage of word ‘Python’ and the python logo[2] 6) Do not post your entries on this mailing list as attachments.
