Yeah... true. We've a roadmap for Fedora Education here (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Education/Roadmap), stating... "create at least two spins [...]: one for children, maybe using the Sugar interface (depending on how many activities we have in Fedora for F10 - or a GNOME desktop), [...]" I also made a request for an educational theme here (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService), but this was mainly intended for the second spin. Since we haven't created further plans, I don't know, how we're going on. I just wanted to mention it...

You can start with a banner and a wallpaper [*], since there is an open request for those items: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DesignService#Fedora_Education There is a handy banner template made by Ryan which you can use to get something fitting the general banner layout on the wiki - see as an example http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:Artwork_DesignService_fedorawebsitesbanner_3.svg [*] - my *personal* opinion is that a Fedora spin should look and feel like Fedora and this include the default wallpaper, but this in only a personal opinion. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Just a few comments: * as it's only two-colour, it resembles IE logo... - could be fixed if you made the head in the Echo emotes style * would be nice to make that logo in the Echo style - so adding gradients, outlines, ... * I don't mind the text, but it would be probably better off if it were on the right (the trac web-pages would look/work better with low header than with high header), and perhaps present only in the trac header * would be good to add waves propagating in opposite direction to the current one to better symbolize the meaning of word "echo" Ah, and would be cool if the design was such that we could make simplified smaller versions, down to 16x16 px (we might use it in echo upstream as icon for gnome menus).

Re: [Echo] Multimedia-burner icon set draft
Hm... not bad. Perhaps would be better if you used yellow-orange or bright yellow-yellow gradient for the head, together with orange or brown outlines?

Perhaps the eye could be black instead of blue (I just somehow do not like the yellow--semi-transparent blue combination)? Could you try one another variant with both waves being to the right of the head, and the backwards one being more transparent? I wonder whether it would look well and express the meaning of "echo" better... If you'd go for the second variant (both waves on the right), we could make a track header that would contain the text Echo Icon Theme (not necessarily in one line), using some effects on it (like adding shadow, gradient, outline), and placing it to the right of the head and waves, symbolizing that the wave is echoed by the text. Ah, and I just realized it, could you try to make it more 3D like (meaning the head could look more like ball, perhaps some more complex gradient would do the job).
