Logo Contest
In 2020, Whonix ™ will have provided advanced anonymity and security to users for more than eight years. To celebrate this milestone we are announcing a contest for designers to create a new, vibrant Whonix ™ logo to give the platform a greater visual impact.
The current Whonix ™ logo [archive] and banner [archive] are now more than four years old and appear a little tired and dated.
