Tiles logo
Hi all!
This is a lest-than-trivial problem, but what about a Tiles logo?
Is it possible to start something like the Shale logo contest?
Ciao

I'd love it. I think good logos go a long way in making a project look
serious.

If we do this, I'd like to have the opportunity for some interaction
with the artist... almost as though the competition is the "interview"
and then we work with them to refine the design, make sure the text is
correct, choose alternate fonts to keep down costs, etc.
The prizes for Shale were iPods and T-Shirts:

What were the prizes?
Three Pillar Software, Inc. (my company) will help sponsor some as long
as they don't break my bank.

I like the idea. I'd been dreaming up a few ideas for a logo myself, but
you've known me long enough to know that it will be a while before anything
comes of the ideas :-)
My only concern about a logo contest is whether we will be able to support
prizes. The Shale prizes were very nice and I bet that encouraged
participation.
