Cool, maybe we start with the logo and then try and get whoever submits the 
best design to work on the other aspects too?

Ok, we did something similar with making some 'powered by kde' type logos and 
we (I) made a few mistakes with that process.

So, some things we need to do this time:
- define guidelines of how the logo should be* (last time we did not and got a 
lot of unsuitable designs)
- set up a way of collecting designs. last time we had a page on the wiki and 
everyone could see existing submissions. Is this good (can give people ideas) 
or bad (encourages variations on the same design/copying) ? An alternative is 
email - we could set up a GMail or similar account specifically for the 
purpose.
- work out a judging panel, which should include at least Bogdan and one of 
our artists

We also need someone to write a Dot article announcing the contest. Would 
anyone be interested in that? It can be quite short, maybe something like [1]

* start of some guidelines:
- must not include the Android or Qt logos or be confusingly similar - some 
kind of play on the idea of androids or robots is probably fine though
- should not include any political imagery ;-)
- should be scalable (i.e. we'll need an SVG version and it should work at 
lots of different sizes)
