Hi,
Well, it depends. If one of the goals of the site is to ultimately
fit
in with the look & feel of other Fedora-hosted applications, I think it
makes the most sense to follow the standard guidelines because the
templates and basic design are designed around that style of logo.
I guess that would be one of the goals. But thats for everyone else
involved with this initiative to decide. We can go ahead with
designing only if we know the proper direction. I'd ask other
stakeholders in Ask Fedora to comment on this as well and make things
a bit clear.
However, if the site's design is meant to be more flexible /
less
in-step with the rest of the Fedora web applications, I don't see any
problem with doing something else, especially if there are designers
with the creativity, time, and energy to produce something great (like
you, if you have the time! :) ).
Hmm..lets see if I can get more people involved to drastically alter
the design (if we plan to deviate from the standard one) :)
It might make sense to set up a wiki page for the logo & mascot
design
process so we can easily look over everything that's been sent out and
do proper critiques / store our notes about each mockup in-page? Or
would it be helpful for me to go through the backlog (is everything
posted to design-team(a)lists.fedoraproject.org at this point?) and
provide you folks critiques to help figure out what direction to go in?
Currently, the india-list and the design list as well is cluttered
with unorganized mails about design ideas and stuff related to Ask
Fedora look and feel. It definitely makes sense to organize the design
process.
Sound like a plan? Does anyone have time to put together the wiki
page
real quick? You could put it under the Design namespace (e.g.,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design/AskFedoraLogo )
Definitely its a plan! Refer [1] and [2] in future for design
progress in Ask Fedora. Thanks a lot for helping us out 'mo' :)
