Hey everyone;
I need some advice on how to use the Fedora logo. According to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines it's okay to use change
the typeface of the Fedora text to white if the color backing it is Fedora
blue (under "Never Use the Logo on Similarly-Colored Backgrounds"); Now, if I
wanted put the logo on top of the Constantine wallpaper, the contrast is very
bad, and nearly illegible, since it's very close to Pantone 2935 in many
places.
Would it be a grey area to make the Fedora typeface white in this case? See
[1] for a screenshot of what we are talking about.. What would be the best way
to do this?
CCing design-team's list -- good idea to ask logo-related questions
there.
It's definitely recommended to make the Fedora typeface white in this
case -- if you can't read "Fedora" without squinting, change it.
The code currently loads the png from
/usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo-small.png
and generates the "Welcome to" text from MgOpen Modata Bold in the same
Panotone 2935 of the logo typeface. If the logo typeface was made white, it
would constitute keeping a separate image in the Fedora-tour data directory or
adding another image to the fedora-logos package, I'd assume? The former is
not a Good Thing, and the latter would probably take some intervention with
Fedora-legal? I'm not sure of the details, tbh. What are everyone's thoughts?
Any workarounds come to mind?
Filing a bug against fedora-logos and attaching the proposed PNG with a
rationale would probably do the trick.
