A challenge to the creative/artistic members of the group:

What about making a freeware symbol or logo?

We could use it on our sites or perhaps in freeware programs?
What about a 32x32 freeware icon, and banners (88x31, 234x60)

:-)

regards from vegard

I like this idea but don't have an artistic bone in my body :)

hmm and would have to make it GPL/LGPL license or public domain.

and then you would get into the whole "what" is freeware debate again as to
"who" could use it.

lol ; - )

Banner free here, both those sizes already blocked :)

Me neither! :-)

What about The Freeware World Team's "Freeware Faerie":

Could it be expanded upon?

How about an eagle (I cannot imagine how a faerie can be squished into a
picture, the size of an icon)

Ah, Information. A property, too valuable these days, to give it away,

How about 3?. That is, the number 3 and the symbol ?. The 3 sounds like free
(well it does if you grew up in London!) and ware sounds like where which is
a question!! Hence freeware = 3?.

I'm not too artistic, either.
What about a dollar sign with a circle around it and a line through it.
You know, one of those signs that means "no"...as in...costs no money.
It could be made small enough (16 x 16) to be used as a favicon for a
website even.

Cheers,

Well I quite like all 3 of the ideas put forward but I think the $ sign
with the circle and slash through it would be the best for replication
purposes ie.icon usage/button usage.

Anyone think this is a good idea?
