Pretty good. The helmet is OK, suffering a bit in that it is drawn in a
different perspective from Tux. The real problem is that the circuit board
(assuming my guess here is right) is too dark to be easily recognized for
what it is ... it suffers from the same difficulty that the shop router did
in Dave CInege's old logo.
That said, my taste is still leaning towards one of Pedro's designs ... less
metaphorical, but as a result more straightforward and descriptive. I'd
encourage him to refine the more colorful one a bit -- lighten the L, and
extend the top arm of the F past the "starbeam". On a dark page like the one
Rick prototyped, this logo looks very sharp now, and with the small bits of
cleanup I suggeste it would be very dramatic.
Pedro's simpler LEAF logo looks good, on a relatively "stock" Sourceforge
page; it also has the advantage that it would print up well on inexpensive
stickers or transfers [I recently discovered that the water-transfer tattoos
that Lineo was handing out at some trade show, probably LinuxWorld, applique
quite nicely to the fronts of cases - much nicer look than stickers], so
could be used on the actual devices easily (were I churning out LEAF-based
hardware, this logo is most likely what I would adopt).
I don't recall if I suggested this on the list, so forgive me if I repeat
myself .... whatever we adopt as the "official" LEAF logo, we should keep
all the dandidates, in their final forms, available as Open Source art for
LEAF users, in much the spirit that Debian offers alternatives to its two
offical logos.
