Hello team I went ahead and created a set of logos for the conference. I have decided, in this occasion, to go with something more striking, simple and less geographical. My reasoning behind this direction is mostly based on experience. I have created logos for the conference and summit for about 3 years now and they have all been location based. That means there is a special set of constraints and problems that you have to sort out with the logos. They tend to be too complex and detailed. Hard to work with if you want to print them on shirts, caps, badges, etc. There is also a matter of how strong the image is that gets lost when a logo is too complex. It feels as though the message of the logo drowns on the complexities around the main idea. So this is what I decided to create http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/Chameleon_zps62fdbd97.png As you may notice, I have used colors that identify some graphical elements that we have in the current 13.2 and also used the font that the Netherlands used on their jerseys at the world cup. I wanted to bring that out more than any geographical elements given that they could have been too complex and rather blend. Not to say that the Netherlands has nothing to offer :D It is rather a stylistic route that I am taking to make sure that we are better prepared to make more materials with this image. I have uploaded the images and sources to GIT — Anditosan On November 21, 2014 at 5:17:08 AM, Hans de Raad (info@hcderaad.nl(mailto:info@hcderaad.nl)) wrote:
Thanks Gertjan!
I agree, there are quite a lot of stereotype Vincent van Gogh images floating around, but that might also be because we are Dutch and are being flooded with them anyway.
Escher has both a technical and an artistic approach to his works, i like that a lot because it closely relates to the artisanship opensource software entices.
All the best! Hans

My 2 cents: please, no YAVEL (Yet Another Vincent's Ear Logo), we've been flooded with these over the last couple of years.
@Hans: Briljant idea, I know there's no poll or survey yet, but MC Escher has my vote. If anyone could transform the "birds" to geckos, that would be something.
