Subject: [openstack-dev] Project mascots update

Steve Dake asked: "Heidi, I received a related question from a Kolla core 
reviewer. Do the project teams have input into the mascot design? If this has 
already been discussed on the list, I may have missed it."

HJ: While we haven't discussed this on the ML, we referenced a bit in the web 
page. Our intent is to create a family of logos that have a distinctive design 
style that is unique to OpenStack community projects. That illustration style 
is something my colleague Todd Morey (OSF creative director) has been working 
on with several professional illustrators, choosing the best of the bunch, and 
developing a handful of logos that will serve as guideposts for the rest of 
design.

We don't have illustration resources sufficient to seek team input on 
individual designs-that's why we emphasized team input on the mascot concept. 
(As I told Steve Hardy, I'm happy to talk to anyone who has special requests on 
how their mascot is portrayed.) Also, while nearly everyone has an opinion 
about design, those opinions will be varied (and often contradictory). I hope 
you'll be willing to trust the excellent design leadership that produced our 
Summit designs, craveable shirts and stickers, and OpenStack's evolving visual 
identity. That said, I'll be thrilled to hear from anyone with opinions on 
design to find out more about your perspective. I love talking about this stuff.



Heidi,

Of course we trust the excellent design leadership that has produced all of the 
great creative work that the OpenStack foundation has produced representing our 
visual identity.  It was a question that came up in our team meeting and one of 
our core reviewers wanted an answer (and I wasn't sure).  Thanks for answering 
:)

Regards
-steve
