We are starting a logo contest for Qafoo now, and you can win **350€ (~450$)**
in it!

As announced earlier Manuel__, Toby__ and me are currently in the process of
founding **Qafoo**, a company, which will provide cosulting around the quality
lifecycle of PHP applications. We already discussed the name and the tagline of
the company publicly in our blogs__ and started a twtpoll__ to see which
tagline you'd like most.

Based on the poll and our own preferences we decided for the tagline:

    A passion for software quality.

So, now, it is time to start a logo and business card contest. We have chosen
the platform 12designers. Our expectations for the logo are:

Expectations
============

Expectations for the logo:

- The logo must contain the words "qafoo" - the words are not case-sensitive

  - The name is pronounced ``['kwɑfuː]``.

  - The logo may contain the tag line *"A passion for software quality"*.

  - The subject of the company is consulting on *"the quality lifecycle of PHP
    applications"*.

- There are no color preferences.

- The logo style should be dynamic & fresh. The target audience are managers
  and software engineers. The logo should represent *"innovative, reliable,
  professional and high-quality"*.

- The logo should be usable on a website, on business cards and maybe print.
  The web target is most important. Thus the logo may contain gradients.

Formal expectations:

- The logo and design should be available as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

The competition
===============

We chose 12designers to host `the contest`__. Please submit your logo ideas and
help us to find an awesome logo and business card design!
