the font used makes it look more like software so I say it is cool. But what the logo needs is probably sonething that relates to software, so that the logo alone with no text can be identifyable. again it migh be just adding onto the sun and horizon. this is taking the idea from the document freedom day taaht uses a logo that has elements that reflect the _document_ part. Great work Efrain
About learning inkscape, there are dedicated video tutorial sites for that but I haven't really followed one. That's why I'm not claiming to have expertise yet on using Inkscape or The GIMP. Next time, I'll try to update the Downloads and Resources page to include links to these video tutorial sites on The GIMP and Inkscape.
Cheers,
JM Software Freedom Day

Yeah, did not yet see black and white version. I guess it might not look like a sun any more then? I have to check that out. Unfortunately I never learned how to work with Inkscape. Still looking for somebody to teach me. ;-)

Hi all,
I like the work and direction it is heading but I think there is too much emphasis on the year "2009". For a branding logo "Software Freedom Day" and "www.softwarefreedom.org" should be more important and larger. The actual date each year is of lesser importance and could be displayed below the logo or not at all.
The logo should concentrate on the sun, the hill, "Software Freedom Day" and "www.softwarefreedom.org". This logo, either coloured or black and white, could be used below signature blocks on emails and letters. The black and white logo would stand out when printed on monotone laser printers and could be used with coloured paper, which would reduce printing costs.
Just my $0.02 worth.
