Heya all,

Apart from me not liking Warhol, I have some other comment as well. I think it is too complicated.
I like the Warhol idea. (Sorry :-))
It works well as a poster. Especially with strong colors. I'd make it a tad brighter, (gamma value of a mac=1.0, vs PC=2.2?) and maybe make one of the geekos do the MonaLisa smile:

I agree that it might not work well as a logo. Too much structure, too many colors.
cheers, JW
Thanks for the cultural lesson pointed out in another part of the thread. Was interesting to learn, and I'm definitely fascinated by what Praha has to offer based on previous research I did a couple of years ago when I was contemplating a visit to Praha.
I agree also that this doesn't work as a logo, but works well as a t-shirt or poster. Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater and keep this. For a poster, I can see people wanting to bring home a poster like this. I definitely would.
I suggest not doing movie-sized poster printing as that is seriously expensive (in U.S. it costs ~$10USD to print even in bulk.) Do it like we did the 11x17 Summit posters. Those are cheap to print on sturdy cardstock easy for people to transport in their suitcases and we could sell them for 1 Euro apiece raising a slight profit to cover its costs as well as a bit of cash flow for the Conference.
Then, when a logo is created, put that logo at the bottom of this artwork where "openSUSE Conference" is presently.
I agree that for posters these looks great, but not as logo for a web or t-shirt. Maybe some artistic t-shirt. First google link shows, that printing it as A3 locally could cost about half euro per poster, probably A2 for euro could be doable. Manu wrote in different thread that printing and shipping from India might be even cheaper. -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal@Hrusecky.net> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org
