Hi,

Cool icon, but one thing to keep in mind: The Red Cross owns the trademark to 
the red cross icon/logo. They have sent cease and desist orders to game 
companies that use it as an icon for health re-ups. They do suggest using a 
green cross or white cross on a green background instead as a generic 
alternative.

I was working with jgranados who need an icon and a possible logo for 
FirstAidKit [0]. I made some tries and finally came up something he like. 

I update the DesignService and upload the artwork. [1] [2]

Very nice job! Could you try blue one as we're Fedora (but maybe
stop blue plague all around?) ;-)

Re: FirstAidKit Artwork

2008-12-01 Thread wonderer 
Hy,

very nice work. as an active member of the previous mentioned
Organisation I like it also this way.
Most I like the little blue cross (I imagine how it looks if someone can
make it "glow" lighter and darker (animated...)...
I have some litte Improvements maybe.
- The wording "First Aid Kit" looks in my Eyes a bit strange in that way
as pictured. The i frim "First" and the A frim "Aid" are glued together.
But the t and d "seems" to be also, but in the green Version there are
"open". Also the Line thickness seems to be different...
- the k from "kit" streched over two lines, but was not glued to the
other Charakters... seems a bit inconsequent ;-)

Here are my ideas for improvement (just brainstorming ;-) ): try using
fedora-conform font; "First" in the first line and "Aid Kit" in the
second line and then "Block" or "centered" or maybe "First Aid" (first
line) and "Kit" (second line); don't glue Characters together...

best regards
Henrik Heigl - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is not bad at all, but I can think of a couple of possible 
modifications:

- maybe the band-aid (the patch) could be larger/more visible;
- I am not sure about the perspective, it isn't top-down as most logos, 
neither at the same angle as Echo, it seems to do something on its own.

María,

This all looks very nice, especially what I think is your most recent
iteration:
http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/FirstAidKit/Fedora-FirstAidKit-orange.png
The much more conservative use of gradients here makes it look more
professional.  Though I would personally prefer a green or a blue for
the final, I like your orange version because you use a darker, richer
shade than in your other versions.  That is, even if you choose blue, it
should probably not be the really bright (enhanced by the sharp
gradient) blue you use here:
http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/FirstAidKit/Fedora-FirstAidKit-blue.png

My main criticism involves the type.  I just don't see this very thin,
very open typeface as the right one for the job here.  Though I don't
particularly mind the connecting letters like Henrik does (ok, I don't
mind the t/d or t/k, but the i/A may be a little much), but the
difference between the bold K and all the other letters does not look
very nice.  Further, the spacing between letters is a little jarring, in
that the F from First seems almost isolated (Fi is bound to be a little
more open, true) from the rest when you crunch together First/kit on the
top, Aid/kit on the bottom, and the ki from kit.  I think these problems
would be better solved with a different typeface than messing with the
kerning yourself.  I might try something simpler and blockier at first,
but I'm sure it will take some experimenting.  I'm sure you'll come up
with something great.
On a side note, is there a reason the k in kit is bold?  Do the
developers want to highlight the kit part or was that just to balance it
out when you decided that kit should take up two lines?  Also, the k in
kit is lowercase while the F in First and the A in Aid are not.  Is
there similar reasoning behind that?  I don't think the second thing
creates any problems, just curious if that was a name thing or a design
thing.

Also, maybe a neatline around the rectangle on the bottom image to
tighten it up.

Really though, it looks very, very nice, and I look forward to seeing
what the final version ends up being.  It sounds like you already have a
happy customer in jgranados.

Sincerely,
eve
