T-Shirt Design Contest Winner Announced

With 57 percent (4,501) of the vote, the winner of the Linux.com T-Shirt Design Contest is "The People's Product", designed by Mr. Said Hassan who is a marketing consultant as SADAF Information Technology in Gaza in Palestine.   "This design represents that the Linux system is the collective work of people and it was done so that others can enjoy a reliable, suitable operating system away from a monopoly. So, it’s like a celebration of our efforts: Linux is our product.”

Mr. Hassan will receive travel expenses and a complimentary pass to LinuxCon in Boston (http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon) this August where his design will be displayed on Linux.com Store merchandise and be available for purchase.  The design will also be available this summer on the Linux.com Store.

We want to thank all of the participants for submitting their designs and everybody who voted.

Linux is Great

Submitted by: Tsugikazu Shibata

"This design is using Japanese Kanji character and says ‘Linux is great.’ The first four characters mean ‘Linux.’ The last two words mean ‘great.’ The message of this design says, ‘Linux is sometimes run out of control but that is really a great thing. No one can control it.'"

The Colors of Linux

Submitted by: Christian Delnour
“To me, Linux is about freedom/choice and power. Freedom/choice means I am not enslaved/locked by any proprietary system. To represent this, I made an array of colors with the logo. This represents the different flavors of Linux, all with the same kernel humming inside (unity behind multiplicity). I also added a text in a footer box to outline the colors/diversity of the different Linux flavors. For power, I chose a more subliminal symbol. Between all the Tux logos, a black pound/hash sign is formed. It represents the ultimate power of the root user."
