Hi,
I see the
fedoraproject.org logo was updated with 4 Fs. I was just
wondering if putting the 4Fs' icons instead of the words could give a
more interesting behaviour to the logo (maybe pointing to the 4fs
logos meaning).
I know there are more important discussion on the table and I don't
want to take more time that this proposal need. I wanted to let you
know what I feel after I saw the "new" logo.
I think this is a great idea, with only one problem that might make it
not work well. The designs of the Four Foundations (not 4-Fs please!)
have an emblem and text in each "leaf." At the size appearing in the
site headers, those two elements would probably be very difficult to
distinguish properly.
I do think there are other places we could be promoting the Four
Foundations, but the official Fedora logo is still what it always has
been -- and wow, is it getting increasingly meaningful! -- and that's
the strongest way to brand our web sites overall.
Gerold Kassube had -- and Max presented -- a superb idea about how to
use the Four Foundations for a rotating set of information supporting
each theme on a regular basis. This could be integrated very easily
with a content site like the upcoming Zikula or other rotational
system.
