MobileRead Unite! Create a Logo for DRM-Free(liberated) ePUB
This is a spin off of the thread
.ePUB extension should be reserved for non-DRM eBooks The idea is to Brand DRM-Free ePUB to help reduce confusion on ePUB out there. If a reader sees this ICON then they know this ePUB can be read on any device that supports ePUB. Not having any graphic talent myself I'm asking the MobileRead community to participate and develop an ICON/Logo to brand the DRM-Free ePUB. This will help new readers and existing readers easily identify a DRM-Free ePUB. BTW I would also like to call it "Liberated" ePUB. =X= |

Good suggestions.
I was thinking along the lines if ePUB is going to be a world dominating format, we ought to create an Icon without using a language, but more of a universal graphic icon. =X= |

ePub in a nice, modern serif font with a globe inside (or instead) of the upper part of the "P" maybe?

How about the same logo but using the word freePub with the "fre" in outline only. The free refers to DRM-free, not necessarily no-cost, but I think people are used to different meaning of free these days. I also like .fpub for the DRM-free ePub filename extension and a freePub logo works well with that.
