Freeware Logo - last chance to suggest images
Vegard Krog Petersen
I'm planning to start a voting thread on Saturday with the images
already suggested.
So to all people in acf with artistic "bones" - hurry up and start
creating.... :-)
------
As of today I have registered images suggested by SOS, Clive Savage,
CHarneyCHRIS, Mark Carson and Crispy Sea.
------
The Freeware Logo: What is this about?
Just trying to get the acf group to agree on a freeware symbol or logo.
My intention was that it could be used on freeware sites and in freeware
programs. A "universally" recognizable logo or symbol for freeware. We
could use this logo in programs, games and in websites.

I remember early on in this conversation someone mentioned using the $
sign. As noted though, that no all nations recognize this. I agree
that it shouldn't be used, but for different reasons.
But in a similar idea, what if a coin was used? Doesn't matter what
country the coin is from because I think anyone would recognize a coin
from any country as being just that, a coin. So a coin with the
internationally recognized red circled X over the coin might be a nice
idea (keyword being "might") :-)

Sounds like something briefly done several years ago.
A floppy disc covered with a few non-descript coins and then a red
circle with a slash to denote freeware.
Been a while, I can't remember if it was a logo proposed for freeware
or pricelessware. But I do remember it.

Something like that have been suggested, and one image proposed.
Will be available for you (and others) to vote for when I start the vote
thread.

Searching, searching...
Could it be these threads?:

Scanning very quickly and I come up with this:
1. Initiated by John Corliss as an image for the acf and ended up on
his F.A.Q site
2. Submissions were collected by 'granpaw', but a decent vote contest
never happened
3. A image by 'La Bete' "won"... (??)

*PING* 'oldtimers' : granpaw, John C, POKO, Boomer, Aguy
Show us the images, please !!! :-)
Anybody has the zipped copy of J.C. closed F.A.Q. ??
And this sounds very interesting:

I try all the time, and it's very stressful. There was a support group
on the internet I once found, some embarrassing name like "clutter-bunnies"
or some such, which I was going to join... But I'd saved such a big old
stack of their help documents, that it became too hard to dig through all
that to find their subscription address.

At first thought, I wasn't sure how he'd feel on the matter of redistribution.
But then judging by how he'd zipped it up for us at the time of taking down
his site, I decided all was well.

That's a possibility. I've been looking for an opportunity to brag
about my accomplishment this last year to have finally deleted 90%
of my win16 programs. (Tearful goodbyes.) Of course, over there,
they might not appreciate the details of stories like that. :)

*Every* currency. Designed that way. Does't matter what your local
currency is, the program is *free*.

Looks very much like the Aussie currency used to. We no longer have the
copperish one and two cent coins and the 50 cent is now hexagonal. We
also now have gold coloured $1 and $2 coins. The queen's head on the
coins means they must be commonwealth anyway.

When people collect butterflies they pin them down. Most freeware
being mentioned here is for Microsoft OS hence - Microsoft Butterfly
Collection etc.

Except if you blow that picture up to a size where you can see it, they
ain't pins through the butterfly, they're screws .... BIG screws.
No, thanks.

What do you expect for free? The word "Freeware" in different colored
text? ;-)

No, Charles, not at all - but the fact of it being free doesn't prevent me
from rejecting something I don't like, or that is, in my view, wrong.
Seeing as you mention colour, the logo (screwed papillons or whatever it
may end up being) needs to be in a colour (or colours) that also render
well in monochrome.
Even in this day and age not everyone worldwide (and - face it - this is a
worldwide newsgroup) can afford - or even needs/wants - a colour printer.
