OSGeo Logo Chosen

OSGeo had a community contest to vote for an official logo. Several excellent entries were received and the final version selected by a community voting process. In late 2006 the logo was modified slightly to allow easier use in various printing processes and to provide more options for use. Here is an example of the official current logo:
