Use a white background only for your logo. It must be clear and look good +</I>>><i> everywhere it is would be placed and used. +</I>>><i> By the way, I really like the shadow, even though it looks a little bit too +</I>>><i> low perhaps. +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> 2. A really liked the various colours you applied to the letters previously. +</I>>><i> It is really fashionable, and contrasted a little with the serious font you +</I>>><i> have chosen, offering an interesting balance between the serious and the eye +</I>>><i> candy in the logo. +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> 3. The logo, as an image, is currently limited to the name and it's letters. +</I>>><i> There is no icon in the logo that could represent the distribution by +</I>>><i> itself. Yet, I do see on your pics some blue bubbles going up on the right. +</I>>><i> You should try to replace them by something that would clearly remember the +</I>>><i> magic there has always been in the system since Mandrake : flying stars I +</I>>><i> would say. +</I>>><i> VirtualBox OSE has done a representation of all the major Linux distros, +</I>>><i> ours included, but without copying exactly the logos (except for Ubuntu). +</I>>><i> You can probably inspire yourself from this : +</I>>><i> <A HREF="http://www.virtualbox.org/about_1600px.png">http://www.virtualbox.org/about_1600px.png</A> +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> What I mean here is that your logo is, according to me, the most polished +</I>>><i> and the one who just feels the best I believe. The only detail missing is +</I>>><i> important : the identity to which we have been attached to for so long. Add +</I>>><i> the magic in your logo and it should be among the best suggestions for good. +</I>>><i> :-) +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> You will also have to deliver a monochromatic version of your logo, once it +</I>>><i> will be finished, once again on a white/transparent background. +</I>><i> Why will he have to do that? +</I>><i> +</I>To have clear and clean logos, that could be reusable through these +various formats depending on the use that will be done of them. Some +people prefer working on vectorial formats, other on JPG or PNG. This +works also when integrating it on websites or for reuse in artwork. +Mandriva used to offer it's logos in a .zip folder containing each all +of these files. And I think this is the right thing to do for effective +redistribution and reuse. +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000291.html">[Mageia-discuss] finalising my mageia branding logo look +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000215.html">[Mageia-discuss] Which is the governing structure? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#296">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#296">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#296">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#296">[ 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> |
