Held by Develer in Button or icon

Brief Overview

We need a character design for a Real Time Operating System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTOS) called BeRTOS (www.bertos.org), to give it a strong identity. It should look cool and technology driven! The character must not necessarily incorporate the brand name. Please take into account that this character will be part of a new web site design. The website will probably be in a Orange/Green color scheme -- but feel free to vary the colors, we can adapt the website if we like your character. We will probably hire the contest's winner several times throughout the next years, as we may require more poses of the character for special events and dates, Christmas, seasons changing etc. We are open to any idea of a cute and attractive character. It will be used for further marketing campaigns (like TV, Youtube, banners, T-shirts, etc.) and will become an important part of our brand.

Brand Name

BeRTOS
