The Open Source Hardware Logo

Following the public vote announced several weeks ago, the design above by Macklin Chaffe was selected as the v 1.0 logo for Open Source Hardware. We hope that this will, in time, become a recognizable mark indicating open source hardware projects and products.

Part of what will help to spur adoption is making the design available in a variety of formats, ready for use in different contexts. Already, we've seen versions in OpenSCAD (for 3D fabrication) and KiCad (for circuit board design).

To those examples, we're adding our own: the OSHW logo, ready to use in gEDA PCB, our favorite software for circuit board design.

Here's how the logo might look on a printed circuit board, as rendered in gEDA PCB.

We've also rendered it in a few sizes and styles-- filled or not, and losing the text as the logos get smaller. You can download this set of examples for gEDA right here ( 82 kB .zip archive).
