BSDCG Logo Announced

BSD Certification Group Inc. and FJZone.org announce new image

BSD Certification Group Inc., a non-profit certification organization today introduces a new identity and trade dress.

Ottawa, Canada and Paris, France, May 12, 2006 -- The BSD Certification Group and FJZone.org today announced the launch of a official logo identifying the certification organization. The announcement was made at BSDCan, the premier North American conference for the BSD community. As the Group expands its activities and its reach within the IT industry, it is preparing to step into the media and corporate spotlight. A logo with clean colors and a strong, custom typeface send clear messages of energy, reliability and, most of all, openness.

"The BSD family is a unique one" said FJ, founder of the Zone which designed the logo. "It gathers some of the world's most secure, most portable and most network-friendly operating systems, that power millions of mission-critical servers and rich media-capable desktop machines around the Internet." The new BSDCertification.org logo depicts just that: there are the closed operating systems, confined to their own spheres, a slew of individual initiatives, lacking organizational power and, finally, there is the BSD family, open to individual ventures while staying powerful as a coherent whole. The logo's strong custom type underlines BSD's unique approach to open source development as well as the BSD Certification Group's solid, impartial foundation. FJ continues: "We just looked at the IT landscape of today... and put it on paper."

"BSD is in use everywhere but, so far, has suffered from its lack of a unified image and media attention", said Dru Lavigne, the Group's Acting Executive Officer and a long time BSD specialist. "We feel this new image will help us carry through our mission of fostering attention around BSD, as well as underline our belief in standard, trustworthy and reliable certification programs -- the very programs we aim to develop within the global technological community."

The BSD Certification Group Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to creating and maintaining a global certification standard for system administration on BSD based operating systems. It aims to establish an internationally recognized set of proficiency tests to ease IT management, hiring procedures and foster collaboration between members of the BSD communities worldwide.

FJZone.org is a Paris, France, based studio. It focuses on networked communication and distribution intelligence. Its aim is to show companies and creative professionals alike how to effectively combine tasteful design and reliable technologies to form a complete creative strategy and carry their message consistently across all online and offline media.
