But the 'anything, everything' idea - " openSUSE is whatever you do with it" could work too. That comment makes me think " makes me think "any color you want" or "whatever you want it to be" ...  it fits very well with the Chameleon mascot, changing color to fit any background.

Just for saying that: The Chameleon idea is great: Maybe red for OBS, blue for the distro, yellow for Studio and green for the whole project....

Maybe this would be a nice idea for the marketing team. I really like Helen´s idea and maybe the marketing team can play with it till it fit and create something with it.....

So thanks to Helen!

Beautiful !! That's the spirit. "Any Color you want, whatever you want to do with it and beyond". Different options in One Only Project. Oh, I love it.

I was playing with those concepts to build the DVD cover Artwork too. Several Desktops (colors) and purposes (desktop, server, appliance, firewall, etc.). Maybe one color stripe for each option or something like that.

I will need a good designer to make that come true.

Just to clarify, so there's no more question on it: S.u.S.E & openSUSE have used a Chameleon as the logo for quite some time. The chameleon is named 'Geeko', a portmanteu of 'gecko' (another type of lizard) and 'geek'. But, the mascot has never been a gecko. -James M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

JDD, There is something not clear to me. AFAIK Gecko is a lizard and Geeko comes from "The official logo and current mascot of the distribution is a veiled chameleon officially named "Geeko" (portmanteau of "Gecko" and "geek") following a competition. Its design has evolved over time.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux_distributions]" Of course, I prefer to be recognized as Geek than a Lizard. :-D -hahaha Both have great adaptive behavior -- Ricardo Chung | openSUSE Linux Ambassador Panama openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 6 | Kernel 2.6.37-20 | Gnome 2.32.1 | LibreOffice 3.3.0.3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

I was going to suggest something like this video, Start with the standard logos from other distros (may require their permissions), then lay the OpenSUSE chameleon partly over the logo changing color to match... To me, that would be simple to do, 'way cool and eye catching particularly for those who recognize the other distro logo! (Isn't that really who the OBS logo is targeting?)
