FUDCon logo

[Máirín Duffy]

Hey folks,

What do you think about designing an official FUDcon logo to be used at 
FUDcons all over the world?

Some ideas of similarly-used logos:

- BarCamp:
   - http://barcamp.org/LogoGallery  <= so many!!!!

- Red Hat Summit: (each of these is more complex i think but you see the 
common logo across them as well)
   - New Orleans 2005 http://www.redhat.com/g/landing/Sum05BricksTop.jpg
   - Nashville 2006 
http://www.redhat.com/f/summitfiles/presentation/images/interface_01.jpg
   - San Diego 2007 
http://www.redhat.com/g/summit/2007/summit07_highlights_bg.png

Any ideas? Anyone have other examples of event logos they've seen used 
this way we could look at?

Well... here is what I came up with:

http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/logos/fudcon/fudcon-logos.1.png

The SVG is here:

http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/logos/fudcon/fudcon-logos.svg

If you see any hope in any of these, PLEASE have at it.

P.S. The font is MgOpen Modata and it is available here:

Good suggestions Máirín!

Hi folks,

Let's get this over with and get a final logo, okay?

I went through all the feedback and came up with the following set of 5 
logos for final consideration, including proposals from Francesco 
Fantoni, Nicu Buculei, and myself:

http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/logos/fudcon/fudcon-logos-final.png

Which should be *the* logo? Which fits the Fedora 'feel' or 'brand' the 
best?

~m

p.s. the font used in all of them is MgOpen Modata, licensed under the 
Open Font License. ;-)

1 is distinctive but the faces look childish.

I like 2 although the blue seems smeared over the "n".

I prefer Logo 3 since it has some depth, yet it is clean and would
make a nice t-shirt (IMHO).

First of all, nice work, Mo.

I also prefer #3.  It looks a lot cleaner to me than #2 with the shading,
and I think it would be better suited to use in a wider array of contexts. 
I think #5 also looks very professional and has some good potential, but see
my comments below.

Regarding #1 and #5, the semi-official naming standard for these events has
been of the form "FUDCon $location $year", ie "FUDCon Boston 2007",
"FUDCon
London 2005", "FUDCon LinuxTag 2007".  We should avoid abbreviations like
"'07", and if the logo is to include provisions for the year, it should
likewise make room for the location.  #5 could probably accommodate this
fairly easily.

Related to the logo discussion, it has occurred to me in the past that we've
been extremely inconsistent with our use of capitalization of "fudcon". 
These logos all use "fudcon", the subject line of this e-mail thread uses
the more common "FUDCon", and googling around will turn up official and
semi-official uses of "FudCon", "FUDcon", and "FUDCON" as
well.  We really
need to decide once and for all how we spell this thing before we codify a
particular form in a logo. :)

Personally, I think the logos look pretty good with "fudcon", but up until
now, I think the clear leader in use has been "FUDCon", which thus has the
weight of historical precedent.  Also, since the name is short for "_F_edora
_U_sers and _D_evelopers _Con_ference", it could be argued that it makes
some logical sense to capitalize it in this way.

I have no strong religious opinion on the matter, but I think we should
decide what the standard usage will be, and then use it consistently across
all our materials.

Opinions?  Would these logos look weird/dumb with some capital letters stuck
in there?  If we stick with the form "FUDCon", would it look better in a
more horizontal logo like #5?

cheers,
- Paul

I like 2, but honestly 3 or 4 are going to be cheaper/easier to get 
screen printed on shirts or other media.

Hi folks,

so it seems that logo 5 here has won by far based on all the feedback 
I've received, plus it seems like it would be very cheap/easy to print:
