[opensuse-conference] Logo Idea
Hey guys, I tried working on some ideas about a possible logo for the conference. I searched for important iconography of Croatia, and since it is our first time there, I thought using a national coat of arms symbol would be useful. This time though, I tried to go for impact and extreme simplicity. I tried showing our name and Croatia’s symbols quite strongly on the graphics. I can make a few modifications and I am mostly looking for input. I think, though, it would be wise to stick to “national” symbols and not the city or smaller place only. I think it is good to identify openSUSE with a whole nation. http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/logo_proposal_zps5851e328... Thank you!

I personally would not necessarily associate the red and white checkered pattern with Croatia. That holds true considering that I happen to know where the conference will take place. To get a country organization it may be good to put the red and white checkered pattern in the shape of a flag and also add blue to represent all primary colors of the Croatian flag. There should be no logo without the geeko ;) My $0.02 Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead Public Cloud Architect rjschwei@suse.com rschweik@ca.ibm.com 781-464-8147 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org
The most fun (and remembered) would be Geeko somehow associated with game of thrones (which is filmed in Dubrovnik among other cities/countries). I really liked the osc13 logo with the geeko wearing the olympic crown on the head. Maybe integrating geeko into coat of arms would be a good idea?

Ok fellows, I made another version (pretty rough one though) just to see where we are at with this subject. http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/Logo_Proposal_2_zps0d776f... This is more in the spirit of last year's conference logo in Greece. I know it lacks polish but look at the idea in general. Thank you!

Actually I like it too. It is too ugly so I find it nice. I hope you get my spirit :D Last year wehad but not used some Game of Thrones stuff, I think Carlos still has some artwork left and I adore the GoT idea but more as artwork in general than artwork for an openSUSE Conference.

Hi all, Lucijana composed a set of tips on Dubrovnik - things that could further provide inspiration for artwork. I'm attaching the document. Svebor On Fri, 2013-11-29 at 14:36 +0200, Kostas Koudaras wrote:

Andy My opinion about the logo you suggested is "no way". looks like a race car flag or something like that :P I like to see your suggestion following openSUSE identity using our fifthleg font type. but where is the geeko? I like the idea to have something related with the croatia national flag, or something related with croatia flag, but we need to find out a better logo. what about to have pretty much similar as oSC13 where we put leaft on geeko. This time we can put a kind of king crown, pretty much as same I seen in some openSUSE "Keep Calm" Banner made by victor I think. We will have a oSC14 meeting next sunday. so will be good to discuss about the logo and moto for the conference 2013/11/27 Andres Silva <anditosan1000@gmail.com>:
Hey guys,
I tried working on some ideas about a possible logo for the conference. I searched for important iconography of Croatia, and since it is our first time there, I thought using a national coat of arms symbol would be useful. This time though, I tried to go for impact and extreme simplicity. I tried showing our name and Croatia’s symbols quite strongly on the graphics.
I can make a few modifications and I am mostly looking for input. I think, though, it would be wise to stick to “national” symbols and not the city or smaller place only. I think it is good to identify openSUSE with a whole nation.

I agree, I will try to come up with other different logos. Remember though that the red and white checkerboard is very representative of Croatia. Croatia's airline uses it, soccer teams, traditional clothing, etc. So it feels very present for their iconography. Maybe I will integrate it in other different ways to test for better designs. -- Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org
