Hello All!
I made a new logo for the OBS [1]. The second variant in the PNG is mainly for cases like e.g. ads, banners, etc. Where the logo is small/tiny.
Hope you like it ;-)
No - it's really ugly
/* Me thinks no engineer should be allowed to design logo and companies/communities should use something like 99design */ This post shows that you neither have experience in the openSUSE community, as otherwise you would know that Robert is a designer nor with free software communities in general as you would know how to contribute your constructive criticism. I think we'd like to ask you to silently learn a bit more and try again later.
I agree that the tone was not helpful and immediately contributed to degradation of a thread that was meant to be collaborative. Let's not slamp people when they offer up their ideas or end-works. Let's learn to speak more constructively.
I think if we discuss the logo, we have to try to imagine that its used in the Bento theme, where its reduced form and grey color makes great sense to me.
From a marketing perspective, let's not forget also that OBS is not just a community project tool but also a product with commercial offerings. So it needs to be a logo that appeals both to community and enterprise audiences.
The factory image is conceptually cool. But the design of it is way too similar to several other companies I can think of that use that concept.
I don't have a company logo with a factory in mind, maybe you could provide a link or source? So I could get some more inspiration?
I do agree that we should retain that "factory concept" but be a bit bolder in how it is portrayed. The glass-skyscraper type concept seems to be a very good one and is attractive enough to turn heads if displayed in a booth at some events.
I'm going to play with the glas effect and more colours. The main reason why I picked the Blue was the assosiation of this colour with technical thinks, blueprints, etc. But I know that I have a light tendency to shady colors and not every one is sharing this passion ;-)
As for text font, I'd like to see us be consistent with using FifthLeg wherever possible, but that's only a wish, not an insistence. :-)
I got the order to make something not openSUSE like, as its now the "open" build service. Have a good time! Robert
