You have a point there, I can imagine it being used for IM applications
like empathy, gajim or pidgin, now that you mention it... My point
behind the decision for start-here was because the icon I used is main
part of the new echo-icon-theme logo and start-here is IMHO a good place
to show the logo (and it will most likely be replaced by fedora logo
when echo is made default fedora theme).
   
   Maybe remove one wave will work.
  

 I decided to remove the waves altogether. Makes the icon less cluttered
  and would probably work better in the place it is designed for.

Me wonders how long has it been since I last played pacman :-D Now we
can only hope the icon won't start moving and eat the menu :-p

Re: [Echo] start-here icon DRAFT

2008-07-04 Thread Klaatu and Gort
Does anyone know what the policy on re-using (or remixing perhaps is a
better term) the official Fedora wallpaper is?

Here is the context:
I am doing some wallpaper for a podcast (hackerpublicradio.org) that will be
distributing a promotional CD of previous episodes, along with some bonus
material like wallpaper art, at the upcoming HOPE conference.  I'd been
using a blue gradient in the background of my design and then as I sat
staring at my own desktop of choice (Fedora 9, naturally) I realized that
the WAVES image could be a nice subtle hint at which Linux distro
iswell, the coolest.

The design in question would look like this were i to incorporate Waves:

I could probably have the guy making the CDs include a README file to give
credit where credit is due, too.

IIRC, all of the artwork is GPL or dual licensed under GPL/ Creative 
Commons attribution share alike license. At any rate, remixing is 
explicitly allowed for any Fedora artwork as long as you give credit. So 
reusing the artwork while putting a note somewhere on the original 
source should do.

BTW, I myself wondered how it would look like in such place, but when I
put it there, it didn't look that bad. It's a matter of time before you
get used to it, like to fedora logo, opensuse chameleon (or what animal
is that), ubuntu logo, gnome foot, oxygen o (which looks to me more
like a logo for some music software), ...

Do you have any better suggestions for start-here icon? Perhaps some
stylised letter e (which has a drawback of being similar to MSIE
logo)?

Thanks,
Martin
