[advocacy-discuss] Logo Feedback

[Tim Foster]

Hi all,

I'm on vacation at the moment, and haven't had a chance to really do any 
mail since last Friday.   I spent a bit of St. Patrick's day thinking up 
logo ideas - a raw scan (my poor, unadulterated biro drawings, 
colourised using my daughter's crayons!) is at:

http://mediacast.sun.com/users/timsf/media/scn.png

(lots of general doodling there - some logos you see are ones I know 
other projects have, eg. http://ne.doe.gov but this was a work in 
progress. There's also a tip of the hat to St. Patrick in there, see if 
you can spot it!)

One idea in particular I thought promising: (perhaps a little too like 
another logo you might be familar with?) the turnstile - an existing 
OpenSolaris kernel datastructure, which could represent our commitment 
to only letting the best code in to an exciting arena (think, rock 
concert), yet helping to keep an orderly flow all the same. I think it 
could be a worthy logo for us.

I tried to use the existing colours proposed by the "circles" logo 
that's already out there.  It needs some sodipodi/Illustrator love, but 
the idea is there, and I think it works with or without the accompanying 
text.

I probably won't have net access (occasional internet access) to follow 
up any comments on this in time, but see what you think - attached two 
thumbnails (one badly touched up to see what a black background would be 
like) from the A4 scan above...

For the record, I still don't like the O-enclosing-s logo, but could 
still live with the circles. Would love to see what a professional 
graphics designer could do with the turnstiles idea.

	cheers,
