Hello,
I would like to propose a contest for a new Scientific Linux logo for use with 
Scientific Linux 6 on up.

It's not that I don't like the current logo.  I think it's great, and we're all 
very grateful for William Somsky for creating it.  But it was designed for 
Scientific Linux 4.  It has 4 electron's, proton's and neutron's.  And it would 
be nice to get a new one for Scientific Linux 6, with 6 electrons, proton's and 
neutron's.

If everyone is ok with this, the contests would have the following rules.

The logo must be licensed GPL v2 or applicable Creative Common's license.
The logo must be in SVG format.  (This should allow it to scale better)
It should be a carbon, bohr style atom.  Bohr atoms have the electrons circle 
around the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons.
There should be 6 electron's, 6 neutrons, and 6 protons.  Not all neutrons and 
protons must be seen.
The color scheme should be somewhat the same as previous logo's.
In the end, someone should be able to look at the logo and say that although it 
is newer and has more electron orbits, it clearly is the logo for Scientific Linux.

Does this sound like a good idea? a bad idea?
Any variations or changes to what I'm thinking?

Troy
