I think POV-Ray should have a real logo.
(For more information, see povray.general)

This is a competition of making the best logo for POV-Ray.

To participate in the competition, send a reply to this thread with a 64x64
pixel, 2 color gif image. I know it's a very low resolution, but I think a
good logo should be easily recognized even at such a low resolution. You may
additionally send a color version (16 color gif) if the colors are
important. However, the logo should still work nicely in black and white
also. (See the attached sample images).

There's no "deadline". When it seems that no more logos are to be submitted,
I thought a survey could be made, where people could vote for their favorite
logo.

(Again, for more information, see povray.general)

Greetings,

Rune

I would rather like to see:

1) a 2-color image, but it can use greyscale for anti-aliasing.
2) a color image - can be any color depth, though I would prefer true-color.

Try to keep both images small (64x64, like Rune suggested, is a great size).

I wasn't going to go to the trouble in Photoshop of making all the detail :)

It was supposed to be a cliched joke, but no, Peter steps in and turns this
into a renderer flame war!  Well I'm ready to take you on, bring on your ray
gun and I'll be ready with my Z-Buffer to defend myself!  MWUAHHAHAHA!

    I have an idea for this, but I am two days into a -second- render of my
IRTC image and I don't want to risk messing it up by opening too much

10x. It's a test render for a model I made in Rhino. I will post a
more serious scene in the next few days.

What do you mean? I am sure you know you can open multiple copies of
POV.

    Sure, but I also know that it slows down the rendering and I may not
have enough time to get this done. It is down to 2 pps average or more
accurately 2 lines per hour for what may not even be the slowest part. I
will be lucky if it gets the final 200 lines done in time.

    I wanted Rune to know that there would probably be more entries in his
contest -after- the end of the month.

That is kinda neat.  Took me a moment to realize it had "RAY" for the bottom
half but I know it had to be something else after "POV".
These sort of visually switching things always cause me trouble trying to see it
both ways; you know, like the faces and drinking-glass type thing where two face
profiles make the outline of a goblet or whatever.
It was the Y under the V that slowed me up in seeing this whole thing right but
once I knew it was POVRAY it looked great.
