Aegir CMS logo contest

POZNAN, ESPOO, Nov 28th 2002

We are excited to announce an open logo design contest for Aegir CMS! The project is looking for a distinctive logo that represents our vision of powerful yet accessible content management.

About Aegir

The name "Aegir" comes from Norse mythology. Aegir was the god of the ocean, known for hosting elaborate feasts for the other gods. This reflects our project's goal: to be a welcoming host for content, bringing together powerful features in an accessible way.

Contest Details

We invite designers, illustrators, and creative community members to submit logo proposals for Aegir CMS. The winning design will become the official logo of the project and will be used on the website, in documentation, and in promotional materials.

Design Guidelines

  • Theme: The logo should reflect the maritime/oceanic theme of the Aegir name, while maintaining a professional appearance suitable for enterprise content management
