There +</I>><i> have been lots of different ideas, some matching the guidelines +</I>><i> (<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=artguide#logo_design_guidelines">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=artguide#logo_design_guidelines</A>), +</I>><i> some not matching. So again, thank you to all, a lot, for your ideas +</I>><i> and your work. +</I> +Yes, a heartfelt congratulations to all of those who contributed. Very +much appreciated. + +My four picks (in order of preference) and reasons are: + +1. <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5141934927/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5141934927/</A> + +-- logo with the 4 elements earth, wind, water, fire. I like the concept +that Mageia comes from these 4 elements of which we are all connected. +The concept is recognisable by most people as it is taught early in most +school systems. It also fits in with the "magic" of the brand. The +placement of the word "Mageia" would have to be worked so that the logo +is compact. I would prefer keeping the groups of 4 elements in a square +pattern with "Mageia" trailing on the right hand side. Perhaps the logo +could be the 4 elements in a square pattern with the letter "M" glued to +the right hand site so that the logo itself could stand alone without +the Mageia word. + +2. <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5063070488/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5063070488/</A> + +-- logo with the compass with the needle pointing to NE which is the "M" +for Mageia. In French there is the saying: " ... perdu le nord." which +means that someone has lost her/his direction or sanity / reasoning. But +in this case Mageia has been found because the needle is pointing to the +"M". I don't like the flame above the "I" of the "Mageia". I would like +to see a version with giving "Mageia" word a gradient colour change from +left (blue) to right (a colour from the branding palette). Just as an +experiment. I think that the icon could easily stand on its own and +people would eventually identify it with "Mageia". There is also a +French band "Solus" that sings this title "Perdu le Nord" +(<A HREF="http://vimeo.com/6878932">http://vimeo.com/6878932</A>) + +3. <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigger-gg/5027064477/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigger-gg/5027064477/</A> + +-- I can't say I like the font, but I do like the idea with the tail of +the "M" of Mageia curling around the letter. If we could give this a +little more style, I think the tail "M" logo would become recognisable. + +4. I like the idea of the orb that looks like it is either surfacing or +plunging into the liquid matter. It looks more like it is surfacing from +the liquid. I can't say that I like the angle or the font of "Mageia", +but the idea could work if there was an attached slogan "Mageia Linux +... your orbit of knowledge." or something to help it stick. I wonder it +the "Mageia" would look better placed at the top of the liquid waves in +a quarter circle format (like the one on the image but angled the +opposite way). + +Cheers + +Marc + +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003053.html">[Mageia-discuss] Logo proposals discussion +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003055.html">[Mageia-discuss] Logo proposals discussion +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3054">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3054">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3054">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3054">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
