Announcing: The Regulator Logo Contest

All details on this and more that you wanted to know: /logocontest 

 

Feel creative? Got Illustrator or Photoshop? Feel like donating back to the community? Wanna free cool .NET component? If you answered "yes", read on. If not, you're weird (well, except for the illustrator or photohop part,. many people don't have that.)

 

What's The Regulator?  The Regulator is a free regular expression testing and creation tool for developers. It's been a while since it was last updated, but there's a new version coming. In fact, this version is going to go live at Tech-Ed Europe where it will be announced and reviewed at Roy Osherove's Talk on Regular Expressions with Microsoft .NET.

 

For the new version, which contains many new enhancements both to usability and functionality, The Regulator needs your help. The Regulator needs a brand spanking new Logo to go along it's splash screen, it's website and program and related documents icons.

 

Since this is a freeware program (for which much of the source code is already online), this is your chance to influence and support the effort. If you have graphical skills, we want you to submit your ideas in the form of raw graphical files (illustrator or photoshop). The ideas we like the most will be used in the real application with due credits to the creators.

 

You won't leave empty handed if we choose your graphics. You'll get a free license to a great .NET component for syntax highlighting which will be used in the upcoming version:
