I was thinking it's about time to change our documentation lead in image:
http://wiki.povray.org/content/File:DocImgPovlogotext.jpg
Now I'm /not/ proposing a contest as the only prize would be your
personal satisfaction, well OK you might get a credit in the docs for
the image.
What I'm looking for ... the pov-logo /has/ to be part of it, uses one
or two new features, png format. Size of current image OK but /must/ be
less than 680px wide.
Comments?
Jim

Questions... might I dare ?
what are the new features ?
(I'm not even sure what is new and what is not, excepted the wonderful
Subsurface... which I do not understand yet).

yes ... subsurface is one. let's see ... backside diffuse, area
illumination ... mesh_cam allows texture baking. several new pigment
patterns, and a new shape, use of hdr/exr light maps:

if I left something out.
I also thought this make a cool collaborative effort. I want to get
something that /POPS/ ... so I guess I'd like to see if some of you top
echelon artists might like to add to the effort. Lately there's also
been some pretty cool techniques flying around in this news group and I
think SDL is a strong point of povray so, some of the macros that have
been posted could be put to good use ...
I'd to tie the end product into a distribution scene file ... maybe a
"the making of" story/tutorial/whatever
Too much blue sky?

Given the identity of the original poster, may I suggest
a quick look into the excellent documentation for that ;)

LOL, okay nothing's better than personal satisfaction; this sounds like a really
fun challenge, I'm in :)

hmmmm that's a challenge!

Do we have the original pov scene for the initial image ?
(Or did I missed something in thinking that the "contest" is about
making a banner with "Persistence of Vision" string ?)
Wouldn't a variation of the benchmark scene miss the goal ?
(ouch, kind of double negative question... )
I enjoyed lately the easter-egg with painted pattern, it might be a nice
replacement for the O of vision (there is already a sphere in the P with
the logo, so it can get replaced), See Jim Holsenback 20/03/2011.
One I from vision (1st ?) could get a replacement by a candle (would it
integrate well ? See Bruno Cabasson 18/2/2011 post) with SSLT/...
One other letter could get replaced by some collection of grains ?
(Samuel Benge).. or it could be the horizontal line : replaced with a
dry-stone wall with a bit more vertical dimensions (and variation of the
grains size along the wall)

exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about ... spelling out povray
with shapes, kind of a stylized letter approach. also want to work the
tag-line "Persistence of Vision" as flat text (object pattern or
something like that) as part of the background or ground plane ... oh
and I'm going to buck tradition here a request no checkered planes

cool ... I rather liked the brick idea that came out of discussion's
about the scene Thomas is working on. This sounds like it could indeed
be some fun kicking a few ideas around and seeing where it goes!

another idea ... theme based (steam, fantasy, space, tech, any others? ...)
besides the stylized fonts for the word povray ... the tag-line
"Persistence of Vision" (diff from the povray object(s)) these two
elements should have a "world" built around them.

I like all those.
How about something like a science experiment with a light beam split by
glass lettering of the words.
