Heya all,
As I said before I've been talking to Andres 'anditosan' Silva about an openSUSE Conference logo. He pulled in Michael Fox and together this is what they came up with after a number of itterations:
http://s1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/?action=view¤t=oSC_Logo2_anditosan_tiled.png
The idea behind it is: - it's taken from Andy Warhol's famous Marilyn Monroe painting - new, fresh, groundbreaking art. If you steal, steal from the best etc ;-) Google it if you don't know it... - we can use this incarnation as our oSC artwork. But imagine replacing three of the four geeko's with a SUSE Labs logo, a Gentoo logo and a LinuxDays logo. Of course in that style. Then we have 4-in-1, showing the unity yet unique-ness of our 4 events-in-one.
What do you think?
Apart from me not liking Warhol, I have some other comment as well. I think it is too complicated. Might look good and people might like it, but to me it looks like it might be difficult to recognize in smaller format and there is just too much details. For logo I would prefer something much simpler with more contrast. Summit logo is great. Little bit artistic font, three palm trees - simple, easily recognizable on the first sight even in dimmed/colored light. This one is a colorful square, than chameleon, than something on bottom, than hey, it's openSUSE Conference in Prague!
We can easily make a single-geeko version, like these (made earlier by Anditosan and MFox: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/oSC_Logo_anditosan.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/oSC_logo_final_03.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/oSC_Logo2_anditosan.png
We can settle on a final variation later. So, we'll have posters, both for openSUSE alone (like the one in the first post in this thread) and the tiled one with four logo's AND we'll have a logo without tiling.
The thing we have to decide upon is the CONCEPT - details and various versions we can make later, for t-shirts, posters, website etcetera. This is actually part of the concept itself - Warhol made many variations on the original one and there's lots more on the web. So that's all cool. Just creates work for Andy and Michael and whoever helps them out :D
It seems we have consensus here that this is awesome, that's good. But we need the others on board: Gentoo (probably not a big issue), SUSE Labs (same) and LinuxDays (no idea?!?).
Contacting them right now.
They each need a (variation on their) logo which fits the style so it can be one of the 4 tiles in the 'complete conference poster'. Andy and Michael will probably have to come up with the one for SUSE Labs (based on the rough labs logo's I could find on the web) and possible also the Gentoo one. We have to ask the LD people if they have a logo - and if they're OK butchering it into the style we're using with these tiles. And if they like the idea etc :D
They have a logo already - this one: https://cloud.hrusecky.net/public.php?service=files&token=28af08614b4de66ac9c0d0fffd6ede72b66c490d&file=/linux-days.png
So that's what Michal will have to do. I think it's best that we first try and make one with the logo's of Gentoo and LABS in there, so it looks closer to the final one - have a placeholder for LinuxDays, like a big ? in the right style, then ask them if they can help us fill in that question mark :D
I hope Andy and Michael can find time for the above - come up with Warhol-ified Gentoo and SUSE Labs logo's and a question mark, create a 2x2 version and give it to Michal so he can ask the LD people.
All on board?
