Background
Did you ever wonder who designed the uPortal logo and how it was chosen? In early June, 2000, the uPortal community had a design contest to create a logo for JA-SIG's then-brand-new uPortal project. Over 30 logos were submitted and a Zoomerang survey was distributed for people to vote on the best logo.
The following people submitted logos for consideration:
