[Nix-dev] Re: Nix Logo.

[Nicolas Pierron]

Hi Nixers,

I have news from the Author of the snowflake logo for Haskell.

Here is the logo of Simon: http://www.haskell.org/sitewiki/images/5/5f/Sgf.svg
and more at: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_logos/New_logo_ideas

IMO the Haskell logos seems to be "professional" compared to my own proposal.

I agree, we have to set a deadline, which should be set before the
FOSDEM.  The end of the year to accept the Nix logo seems to be a good
deadline.  I don't know how much time it takes to make it print on
T-shirts.
