RedHat Loses, DataPortability (and we all) Win
It was about this time yesterday that we noted that RedHat went after the DataPortability workgroup for a similar logo. While the logos are not similar enough to create a claim in my opinion, the DP workgroup has taken Techcrunch’s suggestion to create a user-generated logo contest. The official name is the, “DataPortability Logo Competition.”
Sounds like a variety of companies have offered prizes and we will offer one-month of free advertising on either CN or HTMLCenter (winner’s choice).
This could be a great way for the topic of data portability to reach past the tech bloggers/journalists. And for the designers who enter, it’s an awesome way to get your name out.
And at the very least RedHat has received some very negative community buzz in the last day.







Thanks for the kind offer of free advertising for a month – you’re a legend!
