[ART] Logo proposal

[ART] Logo proposal

[Luis Felipe López Acevedo]

Hi,

I made some logos for Guix and GuixSD:

* http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/static/temp/img/guix/Guix.png
* http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/static/temp/img/guix/GuixSD.png

I understand if you prefer using the current Guix logo and no logo for
GuixSD, though. I just wanted to share anyways.

These are really great!  I really like the GuixSD logo.  These should
not go unused, IMO.

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing these!

I really like the GuixSD logo a _lot_.  Your Guix logo is nicely done,
but it reminds me too much of Ubuntu's logo.

> I understand if you prefer using the current Guix logo and no logo for

I'd be quite tempted to use your GuixSD logo.  It's really just a
question of whether we want to promote GuixSD as a public brand or to
consider it more of an internal code name.  I haven't thought much about
it, so I'll let others decide.

Thanks very much!

I was in favor of the code name approach before, but after the
discussion about the name of the distro ended, I don't know... I'm
wondering how to present GuixSD in the future to the average Jane. Right
now, I think it would be easier if GuixSD had its own image (not GNU's
wildebeest head and related artwork) and its own website (not a page
framed with gnu.org's header and footer).

I don't know.

Congratulations Luis, those are incredibly beautiful logos.  The
beauty of simplicity in GuixSD's logo amazes me.

Pondering about Guix's logo, I wonder why not complete the cube with
the missing green and gray sides.  I think my concept of beauty is
intrinsically linked to symmetry. :-P

IMHO, Guix should drop its logo and use none at all.  It seems to me
that its current logo was originally conceived not for the package
manager by itself but for the resultant distribution, as the original
subtitle (now removed) "The GNU System" suggests.

On the other hand I think that the GuixSD's logo you made should be
adopted; specially that one with orange head, bright text and dark
background.

Thank you very much for your work!

Those are pretty amazing; so much that it now genuinely pains me to
think we should stay away from branding "GuixSD". :-)

Congratulation for the beautiful logo!

I send my proposal too in attach.

Description: This logo use the RGB color (equal to logo Guix package), 
the hexagonon is the Free Software Moviment, and the RGB colors the 
community and society free.

I did with Inkscape with font Sans-serif.

Thanks,

Hello!

I like all logos I have seen so far, but as Taylan I think we should not
brand GSD too much and stay as close as we can to the GNU brand.

And send more packages - I have the impression our rate slowed down since
we reached the 1000 packages milestone ;-)

Luis GSD logo is really close to GNU branding. Looks more modern. Maybe it
should use the same colors?

I’m very impressed by both, I like them!

It raises the two questions you mention.  I sympathize both with what
you wrote before and your current hesitation wrt. branding.

I need to think more (and read more what others think) but yeah, why not
a GuixSD logo.

Thank you!

What worries me about staying close to the GNU branding is that it could
create the confusion RMS wants to avoid (people thinking that GuixSD is
*the* GNU OS and GNU's head its logo). He even suggested having a logo
for Guix and GuixSD [1][2]. So I think it would be better to play it
safe and avoid any conflict within the GNU Project. We can still
emphasise the close relationship between GuixSD and the GNU Project, and
hence the proposal of a wildebeest head as the logo for GuixSD too.

No problem. Take your time.

Thank you everyone for your feedback, and d4n1 for the alternative logo.

Yes, makes sense.

So, let’s use this GuixSD logo!

To begin with, I think we could use it in the GRUB and/or SLiM
backgrounds.  WDYT?

Then we’ll want to use it on the web site somehow, but the current
“site” is really just one page, and it would seem odd to have the two
logos upfront on the same page.

Thus, the first step would be to come up with a multi-page site (yay!)
and with appropriate style.  That probably means departing from the
gnu.org style sheets and server-side includes.  This is not an ideal
solution, but it easier than trying to adjust all of gnu.org to meet our
needs.  I would hope that whoever takes up this task communicates with
the gnu.org webmasters in an effort to collaborate in the longer run.

Thoughts?  Volunteers?

Lastly, I’m not sure what to do about the main Guix logo.  On one hand I
like the one you propose, but on the other I’m a bit reluctant to
change.

Thanks again!

Ludo’.

Yes. No need to put the logo right now in the current page.

While a place for the website is found, I can work on some mock-ups, if
that's OK.

A VM has been obtained at my university for the Guix build farm. It can
be used for web hosting as well.

As for the mock-ups, if I can be of any help tell me, Luis.

Your help is definitely welcome, as always!

Perhaps I wasn’t clear: the web site would remain at gnu.org, just
possibly without the standard gnu.org server-side includes and CSS.

(I’m not saying we *must* get rid of the SSIs and CSS; I’m just saying
you or whoever else wants to work on the web site can feel free to do
whatever they deem appropriate in that regard.)

I like Guix logo (I did sticker and paste in my computers :) and I think 
that should not change, but maybe to GuixSD could change or not. I like 
for idea to universal Guix logo to "package manager" and "OS". What do 
you think about name GuixOS?

If GuixSD is the final name for the distro, I attached a logo to replace
the one currently used on the List of Free GNU/Linux Distributions. If
not, tell me and I'll make any necessary changes.

Since <http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html> refers to our
software/guix/graphics directory, could you first add the GuixSD logo to
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/graphics/> in a way similar to what is
done with the other one?  (See Source Code -> Use CVS at
<http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/guix>, or drop by on IRC if you have
any problems.)

Then we’ll just send them the link.

For the list, I wonder which of the vertical or the horizontal variant
would fit best or would be most appropriate.  What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Great.  Could add them to graphics/index.html as well?

Yeah, the vertical one seems like the right strategy.  ;-)
I’ll email Joshua to update the free-distro list.

Thanks,

Done. The SVG has all available variations of the logo (vertical,
horizontal, black & white).

Very nice. Just I am not sure why to change the existing Guix logo.
IMHO Guix and GSD need a symbols/icon - it is good for orientation.

And here is and asciiart version :)
