Replying to [comment:53 duffy]:
I understand the concern about this not being interpreted
as the "*Fedora* Security Team" but I would like to ask in
what context is the logo going to be used that the context
of the team being within Fedora isn't going to already be
obvious?
...
So are there specific contexts external to the Fedora project that you
anticipate using this logo where you think the lack of a Fedora wordmark
is going to be problematic / confusing? Because I think the answer to
that should guide the final selection.
True, within Fedora context the Fedora logo is well known, so there is
little room for misinterpretation. But...
* For information security, there are heterogeneous groups and communities
all over the world; And more often than not, participants there come from
various other communities. In such a setup, it is imperative to be
unambiguous and state our identity('Fedora') clearly.
* Second, we also participate in various school/university outreach events
and FADs, wherein again participants come from diverse backgrounds and
aren't always aware of Fedora(logo).
* The word 'Security' is also associated with infrastructure or premises
security industry. Wherein private companies provide services to secure
buildings/ATMs/offices/shops etc. Their names and logo too includes
wording like 'Security Team'.
As stated earlier, I can imagine we displaying FST logo on
t-shirts/caps/stickers etc. But when we go out wearing such swag, we are
not always at a Fedora event wherein people know how to read above logo.
In fact, more often we are surrounded by people who don't. So the first
thing they'd notice and read
in the above logo is 'Security Team', which invokes usual questions-cum-
mockery 'Security Team?','What security team?', 'Which security
team?',
'What do you secure?' etc. Instead IMO, if we clearly state 'Fedora
Security Team OR FST', it would lead to better questions like 'What is
Fedora?' OR 'What is FST?' etc.
Could we please have a version with 'Fedora Security Team' text written in
small font inside the lock(like FST, possibly curved along the bottom
[

Ex.])? To see how that would look? The text outside the lock looks much
bigger than the logo/lock image.
Thank you.
