Hi
We're long over due for a mascot for QEMU. Our wiki is nice, but is
missing that bit of pizzazz that a spiffy logo brings. I can't think
of a better time than the 1.0 release to create one either.
Having given it some thought and discussing it with a few people,
there seems to be an obvious mascot: an Emu named Q.
Now you might say to yourself, "Isn't an Emu a big stupid flightless
bird?". On the contrary, Emu's are elegant and incredibly
fast--easily reaching speeds over 30mph. They may look a bit silly,
but they're a force to be reckon with having some of the strongest
legs in the animal kingdom. With razor sharp claws, they can rip
through metal fencing with no problem.
But there's only one problem with Q--we need someone to create an
image of him! I thought it would be a fun part of the 1.0 release to
have a logo competition to create an official image of Q.
So break out Gimp, Inkscape, or your favorite image editor and submit
an icon for consideration! If we get enough proposals over the next
couple weeks, we'll setup a vote before the 1.0 release.
To submit an icon, just sent an email to qemu-devel with the icon and
include an [ICON] tag in the subject. The only real rules are that
the license must be an open license that allows redistribution of
derived works. SVG images are certainly preferred.
I'm excited to see what people come up with! Happy Gimping!

Anthony Liguori
Hello Anthony,
there is already my QEMU Icon Contest page (http://qemu.weilnetz.de/icon/)
where I'll publish any new proposal.
I already tried to design a Q emu icon and stopped it again: it's not in the
least trivial to design an emu with a Q in 16 x 16 pixels. So I'm really
curious what people will send in.
Regards,
Stefan Weil
