Hello list,

I've used Cygwin on and off for a few years now, and today while I was
on the site I thought how much a good, recognisable logo and graphic
design could do for Cygwin exposure. For one, more users also mean
more potential contributors, to the project itself and to compatible
software alike (hopefully swaying some devs towards native linux +
cygwin instead of native win + wine). In addition, concise design
helps first time users find answers to their most troubling questions
faster and with less help, reducing support load.

I'm a graphic and web designer in training and want to support the
open source movement in a way I know can make a difference (my
programming days in BASIC and Delphi are what seems a lifetime away).
I don't mind my designs being under a GPL license either.

Any thoughts from the community are greatly appreciated, although I
will have to work with the core maintainers to decide on what needs
doing and how.

Cheers,
Berthold Barth
