This is the current logo:

[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/mercurial-logo.png]

I like it, but it's a bit small. And the "mercurial" font is crummy.

New logos should:

  • be at least 2000 pixels wide for printing purposes
  • look good at 100-200px width
  • be adaptable to an icon
  • include separate layers where appropriate (drop shadows, etc.)
  • document fonts used (preferably freely available)
  • look good on a t-shirt
  • be available under the GPL, of course

Link submissions below this line with:

  • a small-sized image
  • a link to a larger image
  • a link to a layered "source image" (eg Gimp XCF, SVG..)
  • any other information like fonts used
  • your name

I will choose a winner on Dec 25th 2007 (aka Newtonmas).
