I fully agree not TO much take from the great company with the fruit Logo..., but I think we can learn much of this add. So, maybe we could have one Theme, one Artwork (maybe for F11) and draw around that Posters, Wallpapers, Icons and video adds ... just my 2 Cents ;-) sincerly Henrik ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Hi Fedora artistes, The Marketing team has been discussing how we can organize our future Fedora messaging around the 4 Foundations theme (freedom, friends, features, first). I think people here already know these terms from elsewhere[1], so I won't belabor the point. :-) Infinity / Freedom / Voice has been a powerful message and an excellent way to characterize the themes that went into the Fedora logo. The logo has become a completely identifiable brand for us, and the original triptych posters[2] for these themes have allowed our brand to grow throughout the community. Now, it's time for us to build a revitalized message around the more concrete themes that characterize the entire Fedora Project as a whole. So, I'm asking if the Artwork team can create new poster artwork around the 4 Foundations, to spread this new message as effectively as the one you helped build around our logo. I've put this on the design queue[3] as well. Discussion and input, as always, welcome! = = = [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Plan [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MarketingCollateral#Posters [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/PrintDesignService -- Paul W.
