Ubuntu 10.10 codename “Maverick Meerkat” will be released soon. The final release of Ubuntu 10.10 is scheduled to be released in October 2010. And now Ubuntu asks for your participation to submit your creative designs and ideas for the countdown banner, to continue Ubuntu tradition.
Some of the professional designers already submitted their creative design, as you can see at Ubuntu Maverick countdown banner page. The winner will have their design shown on the Ubuntu home page and will encourage other Ubuntu websites to show the countdown banners on their website. Please see the guidelines below to participate.
The banners should be:
- width: 180px
- height: 150px
- optimized png, gif or jpg, or
- iframe containing interactive content (using static html, css, js and images – no PHP)
- no flash – must work perfectly with only free software
Here are some of the samples that I took from Ubuntu:
If you love Ubuntu and have design skills and ideas, why not participate in this event?
