Any chance we can make that background openSUSE Green?!? :D Hey... we're chameleons. Why always green? :P

Honestly, don't we have enough green? -- Kenneth Wimer SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

I agree that some variations must happen also include some different colors, but never forgetting about our identity.

It would be nice if someone can decipher this for us mortals: http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=4279997&caseType=US_REGISTRATION_NO&searchType=statusSearch As I read it, it is: * Novell property, * color is no more important * it is valid since Jan. 22, 2013. While specific green was mandatory before, now it is just a historic category, and we can actually claim any color, or combination of them up to including textures we find nice looking, just as real chameleons :) But, that is valid only if I got right legal language and meaning of the fields in registration, so first we need someone that can tell us how to interpret registration. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Besides trademark, color, shape... I have a question? Does we have some identity as openSUSE, something that graphically identify our geeko, brand, logo, distro, project? If yes i think is pretty good to keep and make our identity as much strong as possible, if not I believe we must create one because identify is one of the most important things about any project, product, branding.. so is pretty important to create a contest for identity creation in case we don already have it? Or identity is not important and relevant? I not in favor or against any color or font typo, my only concern is about identity. if we already have great, as I said before I believe this is an important step to make the brandng, project... even more strong as the time has passing. If not, we don have one, I believe is great to create one. As a good example we have MTV identity where they are always changing colors, formats, font types, materials, textures, but they never lose identity. 2013/11/15 Kenneth Wimer :

Yes, color is not important. Any color may be used. The trademark refers only to the text/graphic shape of the logo.

Heya,

Hi, Jos,

Do you mean:

http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:13.1

http://en.opensuse.org/File:Get_it.png

The "grab me" picture?

I did it to reflect the facts that we have Live USB and Net installation.

I have source but I didn't know wiki image source needs to be uploaded onto artwork repo before.

It was orange...I picked the color from the old image...

Marguerite

Marguerite, if it is not too much to ask, can you please make this image with white elements? Green and white and not green and black? Thank you! Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
