That's a mix for marcom, artwork and council. + +>><i> We already have the official Mageia logo (waiting for +</I>>><i> refinements/discussions yet, another separate mail), designed by +</I>>><i> Olivier. We would like, if possible, to have the Mageia +</I>>><i> derivative/community logo based on the official, so there is an +</I>>><i> obvious connection, yet difference between the two. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> An idea to be refined : +</I>><i> - color the cauldron body with a color representing the desktop (or +</I>><i> purpose) : blue for KDE, red for GNOME, and so on, the border being +</I>><i> untouchable black +</I> +As for that, I would leave out the colour coding and use +KDE/GNOME/YOUR-CHERISHED-DE labels instead and separate from the +Mageia logo (that is, next to it, or below it). More to the point. + +><i> - let the top 3 bubbles color and the "eia" letters color chosen by the +</I>><i> group, "mag" being untouchable black +</I>><i> +</I>><i> So the logo will have a untouchable part, and a "use your colors" part. +</I>><i> I think that every group can choose a set of 3 colors to represent +</I>><i> themselves (it's not a flag or something like that). +</I> +Let's call this our first design option. + +><i> Something to discuss : would we be open to replace one of the last +</I>><i> letter ? For example, the Paris User Group replacing the i of mageia +</I>><i> with an effeil tower ? (I would be ok, as it's in the 3 final letters). +</I> +Hmmm, not in favour of that at this point. + +>><i> So to allow/ease derivative/community uses, we need to setup a +</I>>><i> dedicated logo (still with important guidelines/purposes to follow). +</I>>><i> There are several use cases that should be facilitated with that: +</I>>><i>  - derivative/customized distribution release, +</I>>><i>  - local communities events, +</I>>><i>  - communities web sites. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Note that this can be combinated e.g. you need a logo for the KDE liveCD +</I>><i> from the Italian group. +</I> +Yep. + +>><i> In short, that would make: +</I>>><i>  - official Mageia.Org brand/logo (the one chosen a few days ago) => +</I>>><i> strict guidelines, for Mageia.Org official releases only (and quotes) +</I>>><i>  - Mageia community derivated identity (for local +</I>>><i> communities/projects/initiatives that are tied to Mageia but not +</I>>><i> necessarily officially managed) => strict guidelines too, but for +</I>>><i> community/derivative uses +</I>>><i>  - case by case management for further logos, with required approval +</I>>><i> from the artwork team and validation from council or board. +</I>>><i>  - exclusive source distribution from Mageia.org website (or dedicated +</I>>><i> Mageia.org artwork website). +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> What's your take on this? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> It's ok for me. +</I>><i> You might also start a list of communities to see if our process can +</I>><i> provide a logo for each of them. It would be better to do it for them +</I>><i> rather than waiting for them to design their own logo, by the way. +</I> +Yes, so we can validate it as well. That's why I would prefer us to: + - start small, with the official and the generic solution for +derivatives; publish those with guidelines and submission/validation +process; + - start pushing specific derivatives for specific use cases: + - customized distribution provided/sold by a for-profit company to +its customers; + - local website/initiative; + - local event. + +><i> Oh, and finally, I've got it : +</I>><i> <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofaurax/5368859836/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofaurax/5368859836/</A> +</I>><i> (I did it quickly with random colors, I hope you'll get the idea) +</I> +Ok, great. Wooo... all this would be way more easy in a big room with +a big drawing board, wouldn't it? :-) + +Well, further than not being really confident in this option (I'm more +enclined to have the Mageia official and derivative identity to stay +as a signature, and have it not spread too much in a lot of directions +- but that's my take only) I would like too to see if we can have +other design solutions. + +Cheers! + +Romain +</PRE> + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000054.html">[Mageia-artwork] brand/logo management, official/derivative +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000051.html">[Mageia-artwork] 2011/week 3 meeting +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#59">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#59">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#59">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#59">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-artwork">More information about the Mageia-artwork +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
