Re: Logo Contest for SL6 extended
Personally, of all the logos on the page, I think #3 is the best. I say #12 is the worst, simply because of the complexity and it doesn't seem to scale well. However, #1 is a very close second, to the bottom. Although I did not say it in my last email comments, #1, like William Somsky indicated, also looks very familiar to me. I think I've seen it as the logo of some chemical or pharmaceutical company. I do not remember which one at the moment. That's my 25 cents, inflation. :-) -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

If the left diagram were corrected and the rightmost diagram totally deleted it could work. Since CERN is the largest installation of SL in the world, one could probably choose a more timely and more interesting diagram, though. I would vote for 10. It continues the historical atomic motif, it is clean, it could be made into an icon, and it is scientifically correct. It could probably be spiffed up with some gradients or shadowing or something. 9 looks like Tux has fleas.

The SL4 logo is great! Would it be possible to recreate the SL4 logo, with just a modified nucleus (presumably C14 like all the other atom like ones, since C12 is hard to do due to lack of symmetries, although a radioactive isotope might constitute a potential PR hazard) and an additional electron on each of the inner orbits? That would be my favorite SL6 logo! I agree with much of what you say below. And I actually like #10 - but I just can't get used to seeing four electrons on the same orbit ;-) Cheers, Stephan Additionally, my background is that of a theoretical/computational particle physicist.

And I agree, that it is a misleading message as if it were only for particle-physics related areas. I'm afraid I don't get your meaning regarding professionalism, but let's discuss an atom as the icon/logo for Scientific Linux: Aside from the historical precedence of a stylized atom being the logo for Scientific Linux, the atom is firmly linked in the public mind with science. The only other iconic symbols I can think of right off that trigger the thought science are a test tube and an erlenmeyer flask -- possibly a cell, though that takes a further level of graphical detail to represent clearly. Perhaps others can add to this list. Even then, each has a definite connection with a specific field of science, so trying to find something representing science in general seems futile. (How does one draw a scientific method?) The idea of using a Feynmann diagram in Entry #12 is interesting, but I'm afraid that such diagrams are rather obscure outside of particle physics. Furthermore, for those who _do_ recognize them, Entry 12 is a bit jarring, as it is unfortunately not a well-formed diagram. Besides, if one is going to use a Feynmann diagram to represent a distribution of linux, it would seem that the appropriate one would be the penguin diagram: http://www.physorg.com/news79793376.html :-) (Yes, the penguin diagram is a serious diagram from particle physics.) But I digress... As far as atom logos go, there are some interesting renditions in the entries, but to me they all seem busy. Even my own entry, #10, seems like a bit much. It may be time to drop trying to have the atomic number of the logo match the release number of the distribution. To paraphrase the (supposed) comment of the King of Castile on the Ptolemaic system of epicycles, I would suggest something simpler, especially if we're looking for an iconic logo. Perhaps something Helium-like. A side note on Entry #9: although I don't think this is right for the official logo for Scientific Linux, I do like it as an associated image. Though I would possibly suggest eliminating the electron above his head. In regards to new non-atom logos, Entry #1 is simple, clean and has its points, but somehow it seems naggingly familiar. I can't identify it for certain, but somehow it feels like it's too close to some other logo/image that I've seen before. Perhaps that's just my imagination? Perhaps not? Anyway, my pair of pennies.

Stephan Wiesand wrote: Would it be possible to recreate the SL4 logo, with just a modified nucleus (presumably C14 like all the other atom like ones, since C12 is hard to do due to lack of symmetries, although a radioactive isotope might constitute a potential PR hazard) Well, since the half-live of C14 is 5,700 years, I think we're probably safe. Would that Scientific Linux 6 should last so long! and an additional electron on each of the inner orbits? That would be my favorite SL6 logo! I agree with much of what you say below. And I actually like #10 - but I just can't get used to seeing four electrons on the same orbit ;-) Think of them as shells instead. I was initially thinking of trying to use sp^3 hybrid orbitals for the outer four electrons, but that's too fine a detail to try to represent in something that's supposed to be scalable to a small size. What might be a notion is to select one simple, standard, iconic _logo_ for Scientific Linux as a whole, and then for each release have _patches_ (overloaded meaning here) that can be more detailed. Think of the various NASA programs: I believe (though if someone has better knowledge, correct me) each program had a patch for the program as a whole (Apollo, Space Shuttle, etc) and each mission then had their own individual mission-patch. That way, we could have a simple, stable logo, (used for logos, icons, banners, headers, etc), and yet still be able to use the additional artwork that people are producing, and represent the other sciences (CD covers, backgrounds, etc).

Not only because it is completely different, but also because of the colours. But that is debatable of course ;-) The others, based on the current logo are great too. Where number 4 indeed is a great one! My first choice would be no. 1 (when opting for a revamp of the looks), followed by no. 4 (based on the current theme). Regards, Patrick

Such as Tuxes spinning around the nucleus so something. Probably lacks gravitas. :) -- MCTMichael C Tiernan. MIT - Laboratory for Nuclear Science - http://www.lns.mit.edu
Re: Logo Contest for SL6 extended
I do really like the designs that include the spinning electrons. But, there is something about Entry 1 that is very appealing for its use as a logo. Perhaps its appeal is its simplicity in design and potential broader use. Scientific pursuits encompass a wide variety of disciplines and some might interpret its use is only for physics. That's just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work. Edward

Pulling on my small knowledge of graphic design, a good logo should be easily recognizable when printed in grayscale, bw, and usually a 2 color palette. I personally would lean toward the 1st entry because of that. I think it could work better in cases of icons, letterhead, case badges, etc. KISS. On the flip side, it would be a major imaging change for SL from a recognition standpoint. -Mark I agree as well. I think the nucleus design is getting a bit old and from a design standpoint, it's recognizable, but tired and way too busy. I will attempt to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, by submitting a couple of designs myself :) -Chris
Re: Logo Contest for SL6 extended
Hi, Just to add my 2 cents worth to this discussion. I would like to see Tux in the middle as the Nucleus with all the items flowing around him, maybe with his arms in the air like he's magically controlling them. I agree with keeping historical relevance and recognisability, as we in Australia recently went through naming the new Vegemite hybrid for Kraft (Australia), and after a long Kraft competition with 40,000 entries, the newly labelled iSnack 2.0 was a total flop and was pulled today, a few days after the advertising campaign promoting it. Aussies have been brought up on Vegemite, and the new name was too disconnected from it's roots. However, I think a Tux replacing or holding the Nucleus would represent a good amalgamation and evolution of SL. Personal opinion of course... Michael.

Logo Contest for SL6 extended
The time line for the Scientific Linux Logo Contest has been extended. The new deadline for the contest is September 30, 2009, or when RedHat releases the first RHEL 6 public beta. The winner will then be announced two weeks later. All the other rules are the same. Rules: - License: The logo musted be licensed GPL v2 or the applicable Creative Common's License. - Format: The logo must be in SVG format. - Theme: 6 - Theme: It must be something scientific.. - Overall: It should be a logo and not a picture. You should be able to see the logo from across a room and know that it is the Scientific Linux logo. - Judging: Judging will be done by the main developers and labs who have a vested interest in Scientific Linux. Preferences: (These are just preferences. Ideas to get you started.) - Color Scheme: somewhat the same at the previous logo's - Design: a Carbon, bohr-style atom, with 6 electrons and 6 protons. - Overall: an updated version of what we currently have Submitting: - Anyone can submit an entry - There is no limit on the number of entries you can submit, but please try to be reasonable. - Submit your entries by sending them to scientific-linux-l...@fnal.gov - You can send either the logo, or a link to the logo - You do not have to be subscribed to the mail list to send in a logo entry. - To view entries, go to the mail list archives at http://listserv.fnal.gov/archives/scientific-linux-logo.html -- __ Troy Dawson daw...@fnal.gov (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/LCSI/CSI LMSS Group __
