A colleague of mine (Brian Ashe) whipped up this one:
http://www.geocities.com/thebs413/Fcore.jpg
I kinda like his [F3,] Fc, Fe, Ff, Fl, etc... nomenclature
more. I think it looks better, at least for English/Latin
character sets.
BTW, definitely think we should stick with the 256x256 title
as the proof/original. We can then scale it down to 128 and
64, possibly 32 and 16 for icons.

I quite like it. Something simple seems to do it for me personally.
Good work.

Not sure if I mentioned how much I love these element logos before.
They are original, elegant, convey Fedora's status as a leading edge
Linux distro, and are nice and simple.

No special interest in damping down everyone's enthusiasm, but in my
opinion these "element style logos" don't just look amateurish, the
whole design is questionable.
What would be needed is either a single unique possibly abstract
logo/symbol for the Fedora Project (or well, the Fedora Foundation in
the future), something memorable, recognisable, like "Shadowman" for
Red Hat, "N" for Novell, the abstract "@" for Debian, the chamaeleon
for SuSE. Or simply a standard font/design for the letters and
colouring of a textual logo. A clear design which is used on all
project pages and all official partner's sites.
To come up with individual logos for every sub-project and every
distribution release version is a bad idea. In particular, the "C"
from Fedora Core must always be a capital letter. No mixing of big "F"
and small "c", please.

FWIW here's the originals:
www.flabbergastic.com
I had intended for the lower case blue "f" to be the signature
element, with the version in the corner, and the qualifier (core,
extras) along the bottom for the sort of consistency you get from the
red Novell "N", etc., while still being able to signify the main core
elements, pun totally intended.
I believe the design chore is within Red Hat's design team as we
speak, so we should see some more things to choose from soon.

And somehow that dampening effect is felt, even though I have no
personal stake in the "element" design.

I think we're past that point. If I were Jeff Spaleta, I'd threaten
to deliberately derail this discussion, but I'm not so I'll let it
fizzle itself out.

Must it? I disagree. FWIW, I think the capital "C" conveys a
connection to C[arbon]. Carbon's ability to form chains is thought to
be an important reason for the dependance of life on this element.
That's a powerful analogy for what we want Fedora Core to be.
Besides, we're not permitted to use any hats and so I rather like the
lower case downplaying of the fedora "f".

I just offered my slight modifications since I just joined
the board.

Hmmm, pretty good analogy.

BTW, it could be that the "element" logo is the small/short
version of the logo. I think it's a quick'n dirty way to
convey both repository and version, possibly currency. E.g.,
"Legacy" when a version has been made Legacy.
There are lots of games one could play with the design.
You could _always_ come up with a fancy, "larger logo" for
more completeness. I just like the element logo because it's
direct and detailed without overloading the viewer.
