Proposals +</I>>><i> were sent to <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/groups/mageia-art/pool/">http://www.flickr.com/groups/mageia-art/pool/</A> (you may +</I>>><i> need to be logged in Flickr to actually see all proposals). +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> First, on behalf of the board, let me thank all artists who invested +</I>>><i> in this and published a proposal. 113 posters, for 429 posts. 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>><i> +</I>><i> Yes, a heartfelt congratulations to all of those who contributed. Very +</I>><i> much appreciated. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> My four picks (in order of preference) and reasons are: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 1. <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5141934927/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5141934927/</A> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> -- logo with the 4 elements earth, wind, water, fire. I like the +</I>><i> concept that Mageia comes from these 4 elements of which we are all +</I>><i> connected. The concept is recognisable by most people as it is taught +</I>><i> early in most school systems. It also fits in with the "magic" of the +</I>><i> brand. The placement of the word "Mageia" would have to be worked so +</I>><i> that the logo is compact. I would prefer keeping the groups of 4 +</I>><i> elements in a square pattern with "Mageia" trailing on the right hand +</I>><i> side. Perhaps the logo could be the 4 elements in a square pattern +</I>><i> with the letter "M" glued to the right hand site so that the logo +</I>><i> itself could stand alone without the Mageia word. +</I>Both Mageia to the right and the "M" attached are good improvements. So +effectively either just "M" or "Mageia" to the right. +><i> +</I>><i> 2. <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5063070488/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5063070488/</A> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> -- logo with the compass with the needle pointing to NE which is the +</I>><i> "M" for Mageia. In French there is the saying: " ... perdu le nord." +</I>><i> which means that someone has lost her/his direction or sanity / +</I>><i> reasoning. But in this case Mageia has been found because the needle +</I>><i> is pointing to the "M". I don't like the flame above the "I" of the +</I>><i> "Mageia". I would like to see a version with giving "Mageia" word a +</I>><i> gradient colour change from left (blue) to right (a colour from the +</I>><i> branding palette). Just as an experiment. I think that the icon could +</I>><i> easily stand on its own and people would eventually identify it with +</I>><i> "Mageia". There is also a French band "Solus" that sings this title +</I>><i> "Perdu le Nord" (<A HREF="http://vimeo.com/6878932">http://vimeo.com/6878932</A>) +</I>Good improvements, except maybe the idea of colour gradiant. It seems +to me it would be better to try to simplify the image somewhat, which +would allow the logo to scale better. For example, to point the needle +to "M" directly to NE, which would remove (hide) the pointers NE and SW. +Also, the font is too "busy". It would be better to use a sans-serif +font. (Some do have a capital "I" with serifs for readability.) +><i> +</I>><i> 3. <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigger-gg/5027064477/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigger-gg/5027064477/</A> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> -- I can't say I like the font, but I do like the idea with the tail +</I>><i> of the "M" of Mageia curling around the letter. If we could give this +</I>><i> a little more style, I think the tail "M" logo would become recognisable. +</I>Like an "M" version of @ :) +And with a readable font. +><i> +</I>><i> 4. <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42998910@N02/5008234829/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/42998910@N02/5008234829/</A> +</I>><i> I like the idea of the orb that looks like it is either surfacing or +</I>><i> plunging into the liquid matter. It looks more like it is surfacing +</I>><i> from the liquid. I can't say that I like the angle or the font of +</I>><i> "Mageia", but the idea could work if there was an attached slogan +</I>><i> "Mageia Linux ... your orbit of knowledge." or something to help it +</I>><i> stick. I wonder it the "Mageia" would look better placed at the top of +</I>><i> the liquid waves in a quarter circle format (like the one on the image +</I>><i> but angled the opposite way). +</I>Too magic for me. But maybe if it showed the planet in orbit. +Mageia on top, with a normal (and readable) font would be a big improvement. +With the moon smiling at Mageia ? Who knows ? + +You could always have whatever logo chosen (hopefully with Mageia in +it), with your slogan, on top of planet earth in orbit with the moon +looking on with a smile ... +Great idea for a promotional cartoon. +But I digress :) +><i> +</I>><i> Cheers +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Marc +</I> +my 2 cents :) + +- André +</PRE> + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003106.html">[Mageia-discuss] Logo proposals discussion +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003093.html">[Mageia-discuss] Logo proposals discussion +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3091">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3091">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3091">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3091">[ 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> |
