Certificate of Authenticity SVG

[MenZa]

A few years ago, there was a discussion about whether someone should design a Certificate of Authenticity for Ubuntu---a kind of mock of Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP/Vista/<proprietary software here>'s.

I've done so (thanks to MasterCheese for the idea), and I bring you the certificate of authenticity:



(Click the image for a vector version).

The barcode matches the value of the key, which is the HEX value of "GNU/LINUX", but I had to add '01' to the end of the key for the number of figures to balance out.

It's released under the GNU GPL, so feel free to copy/edit/redistribute it under the terms listed in the license, and don't forget to leave comments!

Feel free to print it and stick it to your laptop, desktop, server, toaster, cat (etc).---bonus points if you include pictures.

Edit: Tiny edit, fixed some spacing issues between barcode and small Ubuntu logo.

Yay, it's nice to be able to contribute at least a little something to the community. Even if I didn't actually do it myself.

Brilliant!!! Made me laugh

You should look into getting them printed, and selling them; I remember a while ago a member of the forums, Jenda, manufactured some 'powered by Ubuntu' thumbnail stickers for computer cases and laptops - much like the Windows, Intel, and AMD stickers.

P.S. You should have stuck this in the cafe for more exposure

Actually, I was the one who designed and produced the stickers---Jenda was merely the community distributor . I've considered it, but I don't have the funds personally, so I'd need someone to do it for me *hinthint*

Really?!! Well - well done, they were fantastic! Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to fund the project, but it would be great if it could happen (I'd buy one )

Aye, I still have some contacts at the place I worked when I printed the ones for Jenda, so I guess I could ask what kind of price I'd get them at. Also, thanks
