h1. Logo Contest Back in early 2005, "Jan":http://jan.kneschke.de started a "contest":http://web.archive.org/web/20061130060358/http://www.lighttpd.net/logo-contest/ contest to find an official logo for lighty. There were many great entries that are listed here. Not all could be recovered though :( *Thomas Maas* > The concept logo consists of 4 light-beams creating a spotlight. Lighttpd is not placed inside the circle of light because lighttpd is creating the circle its not in the spotlight, it lets your app. be in the spotlight. Button: !20050502-thomasmaas-button.png! Full Scale: !20050502-thomasmaas.png! --- *Enrique Pardo* > Here's my contribution to your logo contest. > > I worked on the idea of something 'lightweight' to which I added the concept of infinity symbolized by a Moebius strip. Colors are luminous and can be tweaked of course to suit your taste. > > The logo describes what a web-server software means to me: lightweight, infinite uptime, brisk and reliable. > > Hope you like it !20050505-enriquepadro.jpg! --- *Justin Palmer* >I decided to take a shot at the lighttpd logo. I've attached the file. >Best of luck with the contest! !20050504-justinpalmer.png! --- *Adam Keys* > My entry for the lighttpd logo contest.

They gave the whole thing a different personality: > > http://jonx.com/images/misc/lighttpd/lighttpd-heavylifter.png http://jonx.com/images/misc/lighttpd/lighttpd-clean.png > > So there's the history :) > > blog: http://jonx.com/blog/86/lighttpd-logo-contest-entry !20050531-willy-nobold.png! !20050531-willy-aquatic.png! !20050531-willy-clean.png! !20050531-willy-heavylifter.png! !20050531-willy-smile.png! --- *Amy Hoy* > Here's my entry for you to consider. I think of lighttpd as "springy" and so I designed a leaf. The files are all vector/EPS, so scalable to any size, and if chosen I can provide a greyscale version as well for any letterheads etc. that you print. !20050524-amyhoy-logos.gif! !20050524-amyhoy-site.gif! --- *Manfred Weber* !20050514-manfredweber.gif!
