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:

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...
No really fan of his, so I'll not comment on style.
- 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.
This is a great idea actually I think! IIRC we had puzzle pieces for the first Conference, so this kinds of corresponds.
What do you think?
Please keep artwork and these gents in CC when discussing this.

I get the concept, looks pretty cool and I'm looking forward to seeing the concept with the actual logos as you outlined above. As for the Praha skyline image at the bottom, obviously I've never been to Praha so maybe this is a highly recognizable skyline image, but for some reason, this particular imagery seems to be highly religious which may or may not be well received by some.
Regarding the scenery, I thinks it's not the most famous one, but quite representative. My guess would be that it is taken from Charles bridge, and it is looking at the old town. For example the tower on the right of statue, is old city hall tower. Two towers on the left of the statue doesn't actually belong to the church we see in front, but are part of Clementinum[1] which used to be Jezuits college, but is library nowadays. And one of these is used to measure and record weather in Prague. As a old town, we have quite a lot of old buildings in city center and quite some of them used to have some religious meaning, but nowadays, I think we are one of the least religious countries in the world[2] and there is quite some of these building that are used for completely different purpose. One of the buildings of my Univeristy used to belong to Jezuits as well (after that it was court, vault, military building, ...).
