[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002573.html</ref> a branding change for the complementary font used with the Fedora logo<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines#Complementary_Font</ref> "our secondary font, MgOpen Modata, doesn't have basic accent marks (I can't even write my own name in it.) Do we want to consider switching to a different font that does?" and made a proposal "I found this font that has a similar rounded look (it's a wider and more widely-spaced font, but I think that's okay) and it seems to cover all the basic accents including acute, grave, umlat, circumflex, etc. It's called Quicksand."
 
Not everybody was happy with the new proposed font, like [[User:fabsh|Fabian A. Scherschel]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002578.html</ref> "Personally, the lower-case 'a' in that font gives me a headache. I think it's not 'modern' enough looking for Fedora" or [[User:pfrields|Paul W. Frields]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002584.html</ref> "Speaking only for my tastes, this font seems more excentric than Modata.  The wider spacing could have a negative impact on content where we can effectively use Modata now."
 
Máirín also outlined<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002585.html</ref> the lack of an official body text "We don't actually have an official body text font (I tend to use Liberation Sans when laying out body text), maybe we should pick a specific one and add it to our brand guidelines" and  [[User:ianweller|Ian Weller]] made a proposal<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002586.html</ref> "We could use either Liberation or Droid. It matters not to me", with a good number of the team members supporting Droid.

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."
