Hi everyone!
I spent some time playing with Inkscape for the first time, and I've
once again blogged about the first few logos I've digitized! Awaiting
your feedback!
That's an interesting twist to the game!
I like Strip-C the most.
As for [1], I find the A-series uniquely intriguing.
The B-Series is a blowup of the A-Series. I don't think the extra
details are appropriate for logos. Most times, logos are presented
small ... those twiddly bits won't be visible. If they were, the will
look too busy.
Series-C is very matured but intel-ish. Reminds me of the kind of logos
Intel likes to use. But I like them a lot -- simple and
straightforward. I've also seen a better Cloud logo for Series-C in a
more recent post (the one were all the cloud bits are symmetrically
unequal)
Series-D lacks appeal for reasons I can't easily identify. Perhaps its
the colours. Maybe, Series-C could loose the intel looks if it borrowed
the fedora-logo outline (like the ones in Series-D). The symbolism in
Series-D also fails to communicate the intended purpose. A crossed
square for server? I don't get the connection. The workstation logo
looks like it will be better for server. The cloud one might be better
off without the line.
As per colours, i have noticed that lime-green, orange and light-purple
are being marketed the most. Why is this happening? What's the
rationale behind those colours? Can't we use something that doesn't
have a psychological connection to other distros? I immediately think
SUSE when I see green tech-logos. Likewise, Ubuntu comes to mind with
the orange ones. I think purple will sit well with Servers according to
my perception of "colour psychology". Perhaps gray will be more amenable
for Desktop and Sky-blue for Cloud. Just my thought though.
Nice work Sarup
