Occupy.com domain name sells

Domain has fresh owner but identity is unknown.

Occupy.com, which was pitched for sale to the Occupy Movement last year, has sold.

It’s not clear who purchased the domain name since its whois record is protected by whois privacy.

But the buyer definitely wants to capitalize on the movement.

It started a logo design contest on 99designs that states:

This logo will live on occupy.com and @occupy on twitter. It will go on billboards, on TV, in magazines, on sidewalks, street walls, T-shirts, hats, postcards, on everything you can imagine — all over the world.

We are challenging designers to think beyond the iconic Clenched Fist and create a fresh iconic symbol for resistance, solidarity and empowerment in the 21st century. It ought to appeal to a broad base and reflect the diversity of the 99%, while encompassing the values of the Occupy Movement – among them, integrity, justice, freedom, equality, compassion, community and true democracy.
