We have seen +this from many OSS firms who went through this process. + +We should be careful in making the distro too "cottagey" or "home grown" +in looks and flavour. I would suggest that the long term vision for the +distro also include a commercial aspect. There should be a community +driven distro and a commercial distro (read server). If we organise +under these terms, then the choice of name, logo and branding changes. + +A name and logo for the Mageia project should exude a community spirit +as well a professional corporate spirit. Would a business have a problem +repeating "We use the Mageia distro to run our servers and our +desktops."? I personally think that the name is solid in this case, +whether for community or corporate use. Side note: I prefer the "soft g" +sound of the name --- " Mah jay ah " (more like the French "j'ai" sound) +-- it sounds classy. + +So, the logo should then follow suit and exude the same feeling. It +should reflect both a feeling of community as well as bear the scrutiny +of corporate world. Would they feel confident in hanging our shingle +(read logo) on their website's front page? I too tend to sway more +towards the simple logo concept. I don't personally think that a magic +wand would not work in a corporate setting, this would then limit it's +use. We would then have to adopt a corporate logo. I am not sure if this +would make good sense as, in a way, we would then be fragmenting the +distro. A solid logo for both, in my opinion, would make the most sense. + +Marc + + + +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000182.html">[Mageia-dev] Art, Logo and Branding +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000184.html">[Mageia-dev] Art, Logo and Branding +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#183">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#183">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#183">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#183">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
