Re: Fedora Mascot Idea....
Chad Bloem wrote: Fedora, I was looking at the Fedora WIKI page and I stumbled across the information regarding the need for a mascot. It mentioned that they wanted an animal design wrapped into the current icon. I slapped together an idea. Máirín Duffy was kind enough to suggest Inkscape (had to figure it out) to clean up the design and pointed me to these email addresses. Got it installed, played with it this afternoon. I have attached it as an SVG. A interesting idea but not one I like. A variation of the Fedora logo would have the same protections as the logo itself and leads to the same issues we are trying to avoid by suggesting the use of a mascot that lends itself to artistic freedoms and creative uses. Keep the mascot completely separate from the logo. Rahul ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: new tshirts
One idea I had last night while reading my e-mail offline at home, was putting the refined versions of Mairin's poster designs and using them on the shirts. The designs that have the 3 parts of one of Fedora's motto on it. We could sell them individually and perhaps as a 3 pack at a discount rate.

I thought I would email this list to see if folks here wanted to work on ideas, etc. This is a very liberal request -- I don't want to put any restrictions on your ideas or designs. Stuff we are looking for: * A "general" Fedora tshirt, to replace the one we have now that is just the Fedora logo on the front. This will be our "main" swag item for, say, the next year. * a tshirt for FUDCon at the Red Hat Summit in Boston, June 2008, for everyone who shows up. * a tshirt for Fedora @ LinuxTag (biggest linux show in europe) in Berlin, May 2008, for the people in the booth and also as a giveaway. * now that we have a codename for Fedora 9, maybe some sort of tshirt that is derived from the Fedora 9 theme/artwork. Just thought I'd see what kind of discussion this generates, and try to start the discussion with a lot of lead time. thanks!

The other problem is.. we have a desktop application actually named.. seahorse. That's probably a reasonable reason to avoid using a seahorse as a mascot for Fedora. -jef"Is really tempted to drag out his scapegoat svg as offer it up for mascot consideration...again"spaleta ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Store SIG mockup page
I am sure several have seen some of the things the Store SIG has been working on. If not, here is a link to the SIG for a brief summary: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Store I come asking for some help from the art team in creating a rough mockup of what a store.fp.o page might look like. I have also placed a request on the Page Requests section of the websites group as well. The Fedora store page at this time is to be a place to help direct people to the locations they can purchase Fedora merchandise from. We are looking for a mockup of a page that can provide links for Ambassadors looking for merchandise in bulk and for Fedora users looking to purchase merchandise and will ultimately be redirected to a third-party vendor. In addition we would like to be able to showcase some product on the landing page. We also have a general requirements page listed here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Store/GeneralRequirements If anyone is interested in helping out, that would be great. Just let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Jeffrey ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Generic Fedora Poster Designs for Events
Hi folks, I've updated the posters using the color suggestions from John Adams and the text Paul Frields gave me in my blog [1] (with one minor mod) and some layout suggestions from Robin Norwood in IRC (the original design had the infinity sign flattened, it's readjusted to resemble its position in the logo and some of the sizing of the logo elements is changed.) I'm pretty satisfied with where they are at now, what do you think? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MarketingCollateral#head-3eacb7cfafb67dcefa9870863e51c8c16745db02 I think the copy is good enough now that if you'd like to translate the poster please feel free. The font that I created this with is MgOpen Modata which is OFL and available in Fedora, by the way. Thanks to everyone who helped out and provided feedback and encouragement, it is greatly appreciated!
