Hello all

our current BLUA slogan is "Dedicated in promoting Linux, open source, and open source standards throughout Bangladesh."

which I think is too long not strong and definitely not catchy....

so guessing if we can have new Moto for BLUA group?? while on the moto.. for some months we were also considering to change our BLUA logo...

Therefore why not have a competition for BLUA LOGO & MOTO?

*Competition Title:* Search For BLUA LOGO & MOTO
