I have some ideas I'd like to bounce off you guys about the allura landing page and logo. I collaborated with two designer friends to come up with these ideas. Perry <http://perrymerrity.com/> came up the design for the landing page and Will <http://willleonard.org/> came up with a few logos to go along with it.
Here is a prototype landing page complete with a potential logo: https://allura-test.appspot.com Here are other potential logos: https://allura-test.appspot.com/logos The breakdown: These prototypes are trying to communicate the idea that... Allura is active, powerful, reliable... and maybe even fun! Orange is a confident and optimistic color that invokes exuberance and vitality. Blue is often perceived as dependable and strong. The combination of orange with blue accents strikes a good balance between modern/fun and dependable/powerful. Aesthetics aside, I believe we would also benefit from updating descriptions and feature breakdowns -- really emphasize the areas we're better than competing platforms/services. To say Allura has Batteries included is an understatement :) Maybe we can talk about some of them? We could also talk about how Allura integrates well with other tools or existing workflows... The kind of things that will make peoples lives easier! Any thoughts?
