Johnny, these are beautiful. I love the starfish! To echo Tara's concern about one-color/greyscale, I'd love to see your basic starfish shape transposed to the barcamp-style layout, too. (http://flickr.com/photos/hillaryandanna/1369795451/) It would be awesome to have a logotype that could take several forms for different purposes.

Danke, Tara. That's what I was going for. That starfish lends itself well to larger imagery, too (as Chris's logos illustrate). I hope to have a bit more time to play with it.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Logo
Just a brief opinion: If it's a target that the logo is used and modified individually, it should be as simple as possible. BarCamp logo is a perfect example with all the necessary features: a unique, recognizable shape, without any superfluous details and text. The current version of the starfish logo has too much detail (the shadow on the starfish, superimposed shapes, little stars in some versions, text on the circle...) which make it more difficult. Just like the anarchy or peace symbols, the coworking logo should be a simple shape which can then be modified and adapted as being adopted (pun intended :) ) by the facilities around the world.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Logo
I'm with Berislav on something simpler, more re-usable. I'm not crazy either about the look of a starfish, the symbol is excellent. I think a direction that's less of a circular badge would be a good thing to try. Maybe making the starfish smaller and using it on the side, above or under a larger Coworking would make sense, somewhat like the Barcamp logo. Work on the word as the basis for the logo and make the starfish more of a stamp/symbol/brand (not sure which word to use here) associated to it, like the apple with Apple or swoosh with Nike, that can then be used next to the name or separate. The starfish could then be used small with the text on documents but blown up and central on a t-shirt for example.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Logo
I like Berislav's point as well. But what we really need are alternative sketches -- since it's easy to point out things that aren't compatible with our tastes in writing, but much harder to express them visually so others can really grasp what we're saying and then respond in kind...! ;) In any case, I've created a page to collect these logo ideas and mockups: http://coworking.pbwiki.com/Logo Feel free to start collecting and adding your own. By all means contribute simple sketches -- surely someone from the community will come through and turn your sketch into something more refined if it has legs!

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Logo
Hey Johnny, Thanks for the feedback -- I admit that I'm not the best logo artist -- and that my intention in putting this out there wasn't necessarily to create the definitive coworking logo but 1) to fill a void that's been left open since we got started (i.e. having a coworking logo to identity ourselves by) and 2) to get a conversation started where hopefully other talented design-types and coworking stakeholders could help advance this idea towards an actual logo. With that said, I invite anyone who feels so inspired to either take my original work, or start from scratch, and mock up your own logo design. I do ask that if you submit a mark to the group that you 1) accept that coworking is a community mark [1][2] and 2) that your work will be offered into the public domain for others to use and modify as they like. As a starfish organization, we should avoid centralizing control, especially when it comes to IP and such. As BarCamp has demonstrated before, allowing artwork to be used freely encourages robust organic growth and a diversity of interpretation, allowing for infinite possibilities and improvements to emerge over time. If you're not comfortable with that kind of arrangement, I still gladly solicit your feedback, but would ask that you not contribute work for review that can't be reused, mashed up or that can't be used in other commercial contexts. Thanks, Chris [1] http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/01/14/the-case-for-community-marks/ [2] http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/05/29/why-barcamp-is-a-community-mark/ On 9/9/07, Johnny Bilotta Jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was talking with Alex the other night about this.

Not that it means anything, but this is the starfish I wear around my neck everywhere. The starfish I looked for all over the world.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Logo
Oh...and one more thing...the logo should be able to be distilled to one color (or bw) for super cheap printing costs.

The starfish I looked for all over the world. One of Chris' main concerns with a starfish was that every single starfish kind of brings up thoughts of the beach. He's right. It's just one of those symbols. Here are a bunch of starfish we looked at (you may like others better): http://www.flickr.com/photos/enygmatic/61586396/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/festivefrog/1025546731/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/mozzercork/85565398/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/goldberg/52321316/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/tinkerroll21/691406616/ (these are all commercially allowed/manipulatable cc licensed) http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/animals/marine_life/starfish/3493679_starfish.php?id=3493679 http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/animals/marine_life/shells/3281195_starfish.php?id=3281195 http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/animals/marine_life/starfish/452_starfish_in_pairs.php?id=452 http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/object/4146959_starfish_isolated_on_white.php?id=4146959 The requirements for me are: it should look alive and non-perfect (therefore all illustrations of starfish are too static), organic, moving...as coworking isn't about being polished and 'professional', it's about community. T. On 9/9/07, Johnny Bilotta Jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was talking with Alex the other night about this. He finally explained the reasoning behind the Starfish, and I like direction that it could take. From an artist's perspective, especially one that designs logos all the time, I think this particular starfish does not work at all; it makes me want to go by sea shells in Atlantic City. The symbolisim of the starfish is superb but the drawing / icon itself needs to be reworked in my opinion. Johnny On 9/9/07, MattCoop [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I like the use of the starfish to symbolize the coworking network, but I feel like the logo should somehow suggest physical space, since shared physical space is so fundamental to the idea of coworking.

[Coworking] Re: Coworking Logo
I wasn't a fan of the first two, but this latest one strikes me and makes me smile. It reminds me somewhat of the BizNik slogen: business networking that doesn't suck. I like the simplicity of it. Perhaps it would read better: Coworking - Because Working Alone Sucks. Just a thought.

I guess I'm reluctant to go in that direction simply because abstracted people in logos never look quite right to me... and personally having something iconic represent aspects of the community could be useful later. As for not using a negative (or obeying conventional wisdom)... you have a point, but in this case I don't mind breaking with tradition...
