Offer HN: Free logo design for an open source project

#1
At http://www.fairpixels.co, we help ambitious projects look less sucky through mainly logo and brand design as well as other design services.

We love open source, so we launched www.logodust.com a while ago and started open sourcing our own unused logo designs.

Today we want to expand our open source efforts and design an awesome logo for an Open source project that one of you is working on for free.

Here's what to do:

1. Pitch your open source project in the comments and add a URL to your website/github

2. The most upvoted project by this community, 48hours from posting this, wins the free logo design service.

3. Make sure we can contact you by having an email address on your website or your profile

Looking fwd checking all of your open source projects!

The RaftLib C++ library (and eventually with other language bindings) aims to bring heterogeneous parallel programming to the masses. We get rid of any and all explicit thread operators, by allowing users to build applications using C++ iostream-like operators. Using our library you can build applications that are as or more performant than you could build yourself with pthreads, but with only a few lines of code. It's portable to Linux/OS X (windows support is coming).

Vote for me! We need a better logo!!

Thanks for reading. If you like it, please contribute. We're rolling out user space threading right now, next project is to build back in accelerator support.

Great work! Thanks for sharing your unused work.

My side project is a HN reader. (yeah, I know) https://hack.ernews.info

Some parts of the back-end are open source, and I intend to rewrite the front-end in Elm and make it open source as well.

Maybe you want to try and make a more "modern" version of that classic "Y" logo? So far I just used some principles from Google's material design, and a free icon set. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible, especially for mobile users.

Happy to hear any comments/advice on the design.

Amazing offer, thanks for the opportunity!

LentilDI is an ES6 Dependency Injection framework that aims to:

- reduce the boilerplate in wiring stuff up

- reduces the complexity of managing the ordering of dependencies.

- make testing components easy and transparent

Github: https://github.com/magicmark/LentilDI

It's a hobby side project at the moment, but it's well tested and any assistance/feedback would be great!

Botwiki (botwiki.org) is an open-source catalog of "friendly, useful, artistic online bots", and tools and tutorials that can help you make them.

I started this project shortly before the recent hype around bots, and it focuses mostly on the "indie" side of bots and botmaking, with things like Monthly Bot Challenge (which is currently on hold, but resuming hopefully soon), badges (using Mozilla's Open Badges), and soon, botmaking workshops.

K-9 Mail, the single largest open source E-Mail client on Android, is in dire need of a new logo!

Related info, I have been working on PGP/MIME support in K-9 full time since January. Most of that work is already merged on master, and is going to make it into a release very soon!

Coffer is a containerization platform for the minimalist. We are focused on creating a straightforward platform for developers who need to work in isolated development environments without the port forwarding and various other complexities that come with other platforms.

Thanks for doing this
