I like the +"Magic golden egg on Living Sceptre" by Alex, +<A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexsim22/5120476855/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexsim22/5120476855/</A> +And he's done it beautifully in both color and grayscale. The one thing he +has NOT done properly is check the licensing on his fonts; I'm pretty sure +that "Trebuchet MS" is a license-for-money proprietary font, owned by +Microsoft (although that version is ugly anyway). The one which looks good +and needs to be checked is the one he calls "js-math". If it's now owned by +Oracle, well, that could be a bad choice too. + +My other favorite is eMiR's globe in four quadrants with hand-drawn "M", +<A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29757814@N02/5023349863/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/29757814@N02/5023349863/</A> I have a long +comment attached to that photo- the two strange dots (Curitiba and Paris +???) should probably be deleted. But the Globe is not derivative of +Firefox, and the four quadrants are in complete contact with each other +(at the equator, and at a dividing line down the middle of the logo). +Because they are solid colors, and fully attached within the circle, I +think it works [i]better[/i] than the well-liked Earth/Air/Water/Fire +scheme ( <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5141934927/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5141934927/</A> ). + +Per my comment on that picture, each of the four images in [i]that[/i] set +is detached from the others -- you end up with [u]a pattern of 4 +logos[/u], rather than one single logo. People with eyes like me would +remember "there's a leaf for Earth, and a Flame, and a Water blob, and a +wind for Air". But that's four DIFFERENT logos, and in my head, four +things does NOT "map" to one thing very well. If we want people like me to +associate our new logo with ONE thing, Mageia, then we need to make ONE +logo. Not four. + +The very popular <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54240048@N08/5013673327/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/54240048@N08/5013673327/</A> is, +for me, [u]too[/u] "light". The colors, and the gentle, balanced swirls, +add up to... not much. Pretty, and pretty forgettable. A heavier text font +will not solve the problem; the picture itself is too "weak". Think about +the business logos which you respect -- you'll probably decide, as I did, +that they're usually a lot more "SOLID" than this one. +--- +I present strong opinions, I know. Please *DO* feel free to ignore them if +you disagree with me. And thanks for reading this far. :) +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003059.html">[Mageia-discuss] Logo proposals discussion +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003076.html">[Mageia-discuss] Logo proposals discussion +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3086">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3086">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3086">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3086">[ 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> |
