Then… we're live! Please make sure to spread the word (including among your acquaintances with graphic design skills).
Designers have 4 days to submit initial ideas, after which we have 4 days to shortlist up to six designers to continue working with in the Final Round. The final round is 3 more days of fine tuning with the six finalists.
I guess it's more around 10 days in total… Anyways, it worked quite well for Leshan, so let's just hope we'll be as successful with Hono!

Nope I think we're good, and I'm ready to submit the form :-) Apparently I was wrong and the typical duration for the contest is 7 days. That's no problem, right? Benjamin Cabé – IoT Evangelist

I agree, let’s get this started
J Anything else you need from me or Henryk, Benjamin?
Thanks for the feedback! I agree it's important to keep the brief very open, and only give some hints. I suggest we try to open the contest very early next week, so as it will end two weeks after, with a weekend just before the deadline,
which is good for giving more last minute time to the freelance designers :-) I love it :-) Personally, I would love to see the orchid part having some influence on the logo but I do not want to limit the designer's
creativity in that direction. Thus, I think your brief is an excellent starting point for coming up with some nice designs :-) Regarding colors I would like to see some red/violet/yellow (basically colors related to orchids ;-)). As discussed off-list with Kai and Henryk, I've drafted a brief for crowd sourcing a logo for Hono. Please see below: Name to incorporate in the logo: Description of the organization and its target audience: Hono is a technology that helps software developers connect billions of “things” to the
Cloud and the Internet of Things. Hono is a software component running in the Cloud, that allows to uniformly and transparently
communicate with all sorts of "things" (cars, home automation devices, scientific equipment, …) independently of the language (protocol) they are using, and that is designed to
handle millions of messages per second. The name of the project comes from the Maori language. "Hono" means "link", "connect" or "united" and thus nicely relates to project Hono's purpose of connecting devices with applications. The Hono project is part of a larger ecosystem of open-source projects called “Eclipse IoT”. The Eclipse IoT website is available
at http://iot.eclipse.org and the logo of Eclipse IoT is attached to the brief – while not mandatory, we encourage designers to provide logos that convey the idea of Hono belonging to the Eclipse IoT brand. Some important keywords relevant to Hono that we would like somehow to be represented in our logo: ·
Internet of Things ·
Cloud ·
Connecting ·
Scalability (i.e Hono is ready for connecting billions of devices) Do you guys have any preference regarding color(s) for the logo? We can add that to the brief too. Benjamin Cabé – IoT Evangelist
