[[PaulFrields|Paul Frields]] asked[1] on @fedora-art-list about a new series of posters:

"'Infinity / Freedom / Voice' has been a powerful message and an excellent way to characterize the themes that went into the Fedora logo. The logo has become a completely identifiable brand for us, and the original 'triptych' posters for these themes have allowed our brand to grow throughout the community.  Now, it's time for us to build a revitalized message around the more concrete themes that characterize the entire Fedora Project as a whole."

=== Design Team Blog ===


[[MairinDuffy|Mairín Duffy]] came up[2] with a concept fitting one of the Fedora 10 theme proposals: "I'm wondering if this could be tied into the F10 artwork theme.... I've been sketching up some steampunky doodles lately. Maybe I'll do some along these lines. Here are some steampunk-inspired ideas" (following with a list of ideas[2]) and after receiving positive feedback even with a graphic sketch [3].
[[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."

=== A T-shirt Design for the Upcoming FUDCon in Brno ===
 
[[MaxSpevack|Max Spevack]] asked[1] on @fedora-art-list for a T-shirt design for the Brno FUDCon: "Since you guys did such an awesome job on the FUDCon Boston shirts, I was wondering if you'd be willing to make a few mock-ups of what a FUDCon Brno shirt would look like. I like the idea of trying to have a bit of design consistency for each year's FUDCon shirts... so maybe we could keep the front the same (switching the name of course) and doing something 'similar' on the back?"
 
[1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2008-July/msg00259.html
 
The request was quickly followed[2] by a design by [[NicuBuculei|Nicu Buculei]] using, as requested, the same template as the recent FUDCon in Boston, a design which is generally liked. The discuss touched[3] on a hunt for usable Brno photos and a number of pieces of technical advice[4] from [[MairinDuffy|Mairín Duffy]] about vectorizing photos.

=== The Blue Color of Fedora ===
 
[[PaulFrields|Paul Frields]] started an interesting debate[1] about the dominant color used in Fedora graphics: "Does the Artwork team think, overall, that using a blue palette for our desktop theme (background) helps Fedora with its identity and branding? Do you want to continue that for Fedora 10?"
 
[1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2008-July/msg00326.html
 
A large chorus of contributors to the Art Team expressed their support for using blue, one of the most convincing arguments came from [[MaxSpevack|Max Spevack]][2]:"Blue = Fedora. Mix in some other stuff as appropriate, but I believe that Blue is now 'our' color. We shouldn't give that up. Ubuntu has brown, OpenSuse has green. Red Hat has red. We have blue. Personally, I like that we maintain that general blue-ish feel. Play with the shades if you like, mix in some spice and variety if you like, but I think Fedora should always be identifiable with the color blue."
 
[2] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2008-July/msg00338.html
 
Of course there are different opinions, like the one voiced[3] by [[DavidNielsen|David Nielsen]]: "As a user I would love to see us break free of the blue prison, it looks dated and should be put down with all manners of mercy possible. I think it hurts us to stick with the blue theme and unlike other competing distros not work towards a unified look over several cycles."

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."
