# 🎨 ComfyUI Community Logo Creation Contest!📅 Date: January 8, 2025🔗 Share: [Share this post](#)---👋 Hi Comfy community and creative minds! Today, we'd like to announce something special - we're looking for a new logo that captures the core characteristics of ComfyUI and its community.The current logo of ComfyUI was generated hastily as the project grew. We're seeking a new design that honors our community roots while positioning ComfyUI for the future.## 🖼️ Our Current LogoWhether you're a long-time user or just discovering us, we'd love to see your creative take on our identity!If you are new here, ComfyUI is an open-source node-based GUI and inference engine that lets you build complicated workflows to generate images, video, audio, etc. Creative studios use it to make advertisements. Game studios use it to make characters. Movie studios use it to brainstorm and generate storyboards. And many more.🌐 Examples on our website: [https://www.comfy.org/]ComfyUI was born out of a desire to generate anime images. The first quality image generated by the founder (comfyanonymous) was a Fennec Fox anime girl. Variations of this image are created all the time, especially when new models come out. See this [Flux release blog](#).While our interface has evolved, ComfyUI's core visual elements - our nodes and workflows - have remained consistent and instantly recognizable to our users, and we’ve seen various community users playing with these elements.## 🧩 What we are looking for :We are inviting those who are interested to create a logo that:1. 🌿 Stays true to ComfyUI’s roots. It is better to contain either:- Some features of a fennec fox (the ears, the tail, etc.), or- Some significant features of ComfyUI (e.g., the nodes, lines, etc.)2. 🤝 Carries the approachable open-source identity, not too flashy or corporate.3. 🎯 Looks professional to represent our current community in the visual AI space.4. 🚫 Avoids anything gendered.## ⏳ DurationJan 8th - Feb 8th PST## 🛠️ How to ParticipatePlease post your logo designs in our “comfy-logo-design” Discord channel ([https://discord.com/invite/SgvgYpd7](https://discord.com/invite/SgvgYpd7)), or email them to [Hello@comfy.org](mailto:Hello@comfy.org).📝 Note:- Submissions should contain at least one image and one text description. We would love you to describe your thoughts and how you create them.- The logo image can be simple in any format as long as it represents your idea.- No plagiarism or use of copyrighted elements.## 🏆 Winner Selection1. 🏅 Official LogoOne of the designs might be chosen as the official logo of ComfyUI, with a proper authorization plan.

We can't wait to see your creative journey to give ComfyUI a fresh, community-inspired look!

🚀 Spacecraft Design Competition - $10,000 Prize Fund 🚀Hosted by The Hyperion Project👉 Website: [https://www.projecthyperion.org/](https://www.projecthyperion.org/)The Hyperion Project, an international consortium of scientists, is excited to announce a spacecraft design competition! This challenge focuses on creating concepts for interstellar generation ships capable of transporting multiple generations of humans across the stars.The goal is to design a spacecraft that can sustain a crew of 500–1,000 people for 250 years, ensuring their health, safety, and well-being throughout the journey. This includes addressing challenges like artificial gravity, radiation protection, healthcare, and social dynamics.This competition is a thought experiment aimed at inspiring future advancements in interstellar travel. While the designs won’t be built, they’ll help shape the future of space exploration!---### Competition Details📅 Timeline- Announcement: November 1, 2024- Registration Deadline: January 15, 2025- Phase 1 Deadline: February 2, 2025 (Initial concept submission)- Phase 2 Deadline: May 4, 2025 (Detailed design submission)- Winners Announced: June 2, 2025---### Eligibility- Open to individuals and teams worldwide.- Student teams are highly encouraged to participate!---### Team CompositionTeams must include at least:1. One architectural designer (architect, designer, etc.)2. One engineer3. One social scientist (e.g., sociologist, anthropologist)Note: Roles are flexible. Teams must submit a short bio and organization description during registration.---### Competition StructurePhase 1: Concept Development- Submit initial designs and narratives addressing:- Habitat layout- Systems (propulsion, life support, etc.)- Societal frameworkPhase 2: Detailed Design- Shortlisted teams will provide:- Comprehensive designs- Technical details- Visual presentations- Detailed plans for architecture, technology, and societal models---### Prizes💰 Total Prize Fund: $10,000 (USD)- 1st Place: $5,000- 2nd Place: $3,000- 3rd Place: $2,000- 10 Honorary Mentions (or fewer if there aren’t enough teams)---### Registration- Registration Fee: $20- Deadline: January 15, 2025---### Key Design ChallengesYour spacecraft must:1.
