=== A New Design for the Fedora Frontpage ===

[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] posted<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000141.html</ref> on @design-team a mockup idea for a fedoraproject.org front page redesign "I don't know if it's a good idea or feasible to redo our look & feel yet again. I do think our current site is a bit too sparse though."

From a CSS point of view, this layout would probably be a lot simpler than what we have now, which is great" with some concerns about some elements "Another thing that I'm a bit worried about is that the placement of the

=== About Branding ===
=== Design Team Blog ===


A heated debate was fired after [[User:ujjwol|Ujjwol Lamichhane]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000165.html</ref> to @design-team a controversial article about KDE and distribution branding in artwork<ref>http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/building-brand-together.html</ref> from the prominent KDE developer Aaron Seigo. It was seen as not useful<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000175.html</ref> by [[User:kkofler|Kevin Kofler]]  "don't think this offer is of much value to Fedora at this point because we don't have our logo in the wallpaper anyway" and [[User:jreznik|Jaroslav Reznik]] "Short conclusion: we have to lost our Fedora identity...", two of the top Fedora KDE contributors.
[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003716.html</ref> a new communication channel for the team "Thanks to Sijis we now have a team blog!! (Yay!!)" and she invited authors to join "Some members of the design team we couldn't add to the blog because their accounts weren't in the Fedora blogs system. If you'd like to be added, please log in to Fedora blogs to create your account, and let me know you've done it so I can request your account be added."
 
[[User:mccann|William Jon McCann]] was more radical<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000178.html</ref> "Eventually, the Fedora board will realize that today's conception of spins is a failed experiment and force this change" and suggested Fedora KDE  contributors should go the Kubuntu way "If I were working on a KDE desktop that is based on Fedora packages the first thing I would do is make sure I differentiate it from Fedora since Fedora is a GNOME based project - and that is not going to change[...] his is not a new idea - Kubuntu has been doing this for years now". He was countered<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000181.html</ref> by [[User:kanarip|Jeroen van Meeuwen]] "GNOME is not upstream for Fedora in it's entirety. Without GNOME, there would still be a viable Fedora Project. Where did you get the impression Fedora is a GNOME based project?" who defended the spins concept "Today's conception of spins is not a failed experiment although maybe in your opinion it doesn't meet your personal needs and/or expectations" and outlined the Fedora KDE spin as a positive example "I think the KDE spin in this regard has been one of the most outstanding examples of building a show-case spin exactly doing what is the purpose of spins to begin with."

FUDCon T-shirt

Emily Dirsh proposed[1] a T-shirt design for the Tempe FUDCon "It's inspired by the art of the Hohokam who once lived in the area" and after an initial warm receive[2] from Máirín Duffy "Wow that is **gorgeous**, I love it! I would love a shirt with that design in it!" she followed[3] with a couple of variations "Ooh, I love the idea of a navy shirt! Yeah, the advantage to a single-color design is it's very easy to adjust the color." Jef van Schendel also proposed[4] a few remixes "Here's a few quick and dirty stabs at a dark shirt version".

Design Team Blog

Máirín Duffy announced[1] a new communication channel for the team "Thanks to Sijis we now have a team blog!! (Yay!!)" and she invited authors to join "Some members of the design team we couldn't add to the blog because their accounts weren't in the Fedora blogs system. If you'd like to be added, please log in to Fedora blogs to create your account, and let me know you've done it so I can request your account be added."
