GNU Generation needs a logo!

Description

Once you have a draft version done, seek feedback from the GNU Generation community on what to improve. Remember: this will be used to represent GNU Generation!

It would be really nice to have a logo that has two versions: one with the text "GNU Generation", and one without, but this is not necessarily required. Make sure to capture the spirit of GNU Generation, and don't forget to make sure there are no legal problems if you use a derivative image.

How to get started

Inkscape is a good drawing program to use to design the logo. An SVG logo would be best, since it is scalable and can be exported to any size of a PNG easily.

"GNU Generation project" is not in the list (group, individual) of allowed values for the "Is entity" property.

Draft Logos

GNU Seed

"GNU Seed" No text:

"GNU Seed" with text (1):

"GNU Seed" With text (2/3):

The idea is simple: Gnu Generation is a place for youn people to contribute to the OS world, in a way, is like planting a seed, wich will grow in the future. Also, You can see the letter G inside. I'd like to write more about this logo, but my english writing is not so good...) Anyway, I think I couldn't comunicate the idea of "Open". Any Ideas? -Maurob

In my opinion, this is th best: --Maurob 02:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Comments

I think it looks sort of like the Debian swirl. Deanmen 00:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

It looks great! I really like the thought that went into the design, and the professional look. I wonder what it would look like with the text somewhere inside the swirl... Also, maurob, you should probably create a profile; you don't have to fill out all of the fields if you don't want. See the GNU Generation home wiki page for the link. -Maxshinn 23:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll try that text idea. I've just create my profile, though is not very complete. Thanks! Could someone put a title to both logos such as "Logos" or somethng like that? --Maurob 17:57, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Something like this? --Maurob 18:30, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I've just made a text version, wich I put next to the no-text version.

maurob: I'm really liking the seed. I think your idea of putting the text below looks a lot better than putting it on the spiral.

I've uploaded 2 new versions with diffrent text positions. In my opinion, the last one (wich i'll upload again after this) is the best of the 3. What do you think?

Statue of GNU

"Statue of GNU"

The "Statue of Liberty" is the most known symbol for freeodom and independency. Thats why I think it matches very well with the philosophy of GNU.

This image is just a draft and a basis for feedback from the community. I will use your critics and the draft to create a Logo.

Maybe I will use a smaller version or just a part as an engraving for a coin which could be the Logo ;-)

I have drawn it by myself by templates from the internet.

(Its also available as SVG.)

Comments

Orca: That is drawn really well. The only thing is that many people associate the Statue of Liberty with the USA. We want to stress that this is an international program. You might want to see what some other people here think. If nothing else, you should make sure to submit it to OpenClipArt, as long as all of the derivative images you used are in the public domain. --Maxshinn 15:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

General Comments:

I don't know if this is right, but I've organized this page a bit. Each logo has now a particular area for the feedback to be more organized.

Also, This "General Comments" area is where comments wich do not talk about one particular logos should be.

Anyway, I don't know if I'm allowed to do this. Please, let me know if've done something I shouldn't have done. --Maurob 03:11, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
