    A bit of fun

    Hello Zabbix Community!

    I can't be the only one who is debating zabbix vs nagios with friends and foes around the office. Today i lost an argument so no i'm forced to use a nagios mousemat the next week....

    My suggestion is that Alexei should start selling merchandise. Stuff like mugs, t-shirts mousemats etc.
    It can be used as a way for people to fund Zabbix just like nagios does it over at CafePress:
    http://www.cafepress.com/nagios

    I would love to clean the kitchen for mugs and have those blasted nagios lovers drink coffee the only way.
    From a Zabbix mug.

    Besides zabbix logo is much nicer than that buggyman logo nagios is taunting around with.

    just a my 2 cents!

    Regards,

    Simon

    You'll be using Nagios mousemat next week?! Oh no... what a shame!

    Would you be ready to buy merchandise with a single ZABBIX red logo? Any design ideas? Perhaps it is time for a ZABBIX logo/mascot competition?!

        Maybe Zabbix need's a pitch/slogan as well?
        Hmm let me think... 'just do it' ... no somebody else got that one...

        Actually i would buy a mug with the simple red banner. Compared to Nagios 'scary' font it is much prettier on the desk. But a mascot would be great!

            Hm, anyone playing (a)d&d? A creature like an beholder would be a nice mascot too. Maybe one that's not so scary looking, but the idea with a lot of eyes and different skills isn't that bad for monitoring software.

              fab> the idea is quite good, but in my oppinion a bit too geeky.

              As an example take a look at FreeBSD we all love Beastie, but go place an order on an executives desk with the mascots of a beholder and a cute Daemon....

              It just makes it harder to convince 'the suits' that you are delivering something
              reliable and not something you used the evening to color-paint in your basement

                  Define evil, please.

                  (joke)

                  Perhaps the name Zabbix on a charted background? Something like the attached?

                          I wish I was artistic enough to come up with something... anyone else want to throw anything into the pot for this? I'd like to see some mascot/logo too!
