=== Reimagining the Fedora Art Team ===
=== Perspective and the Echo Icons ===


Following a talk on the chat channel, [[MairinDuffy|Máirín Duffy]] proposed[1] on @fedora-art a reimagining of the Art Team, as a better way to define the activities encompassed by its members "The Fedora Art Team's name and focus is more on artwork than UI design. Folks in Fedora who need help with UI design or potential contributors who want to help out with UI design might not necessarily link those kinds of tasks to an art team so they might be a bit lost. What if we renamed the art team to be the 'Fedora Design & Creative Team,' and the art team as it is now would be a subgroup of this new design team? Under a 'design' banner, it might be easier for developers seeking out UI design advice to know where to go, and for community UI designers to find a home / a place to get involved." The proposal was welcomed warmly, with only a minor technical concern[2] from [[IanWeller|Ian Weller]] "Only thing I'm worried about is renaming all the references to the Art team that we control, but, eh, whatever."
[[MartinSourada|Martin Sourada]] called for a decision[1] on @fedora-art "we need to make final decisions about the new perspective to Echo and update the guidelines appropriately" with his proposal being "We will start new Echo Perspective icon theme which will  * be developed in parallel to the current Echo  * until it reaches good enough coverage, it will fallback to current Echo and gnome-icon-theme * use same Perspective Projection as in tango/mango for 32x32 icons and bigger, and in cases where it helps icon distinction in smaller sizes as well, Flat Perspective will be used for the rest * allow small amount of glows/glazes/shines in 256x256 version to achieve better realistic look * use ~ 1 px thick solid borders at all sizes"

=== The FUCCon Boston 2009 T-shirt ===


=== OLPC Branding ===
In a message addressed to both @fedora-art and @fedora-marketing [[MairinDuffy|Máirín Duffy]] asked for a vote[1] for the design of the official T-Shirt for the upcoming FUDCon in Boston "I made the design two-color so hopefully it'll be cheaper to print [...] There's two main designs that are just different in the treatment of the back portion of the shirt" and the majority of the respondents opted for one of them[2], which at the time of this writing should be already going to print.


An earlier project of the Art Team, reported back at the time in Fedora Weekly News, to create a secondary mark for Fedora derivatives came to fruition: OLPC has started to use it for Sugar and [[PaulFrields|Paul Frields]] asked[1] for a guidelines compliance check on @fedora-art and [[MairinDuffy|Máirín Duffy]] approved[2] it. This is the first known use of the secondary trademark.

=== A Fedora Promo Video (Beta) ===
This week a few members of the community shared with @fedora-art some of their latest works:


[[MariaLeandro|María Leandro]] posted[1] on @fedora-art a video experiment she's working on "I'm working on some videos that can be used on events or some clips. This is the first beta (well... 2nd) and is an easy animation on blender with the 'infinite' and the 'four f's' messages. The idea came up because in LatinAmerica there's an event, FLISoL (installfest) and it was a good idea to have 'something' on the big screen when the Fedora-Team is giving some information, media and stickers" and followed quickly[2] with an improved version. WARNING: the video[3] is available in the "evil" Flash format.
* [[MariaLeandro|María Leandro]] continued her work[1] on a promo video[2] (warning: streaming Flash content);
* [[Susmit Shannigrahi|Susmit Shannigrahi]] started[3] a leaflet[4] to be handed at Fedora booths;
* [[MolaPahnadayan|Mola Pahnadayan]] created[5] a cool looking 3D composition Blender, pretty much in his style famous form the Fedora Core 6 DNA wallpaper.

Perspective and the Echo Icons

Martin Sourada called for a decision[1] on @fedora-art "we need to make final decisions about the new perspective to Echo and update the guidelines appropriately" with his proposal being "We will start new Echo Perspective icon theme which will * be developed in parallel to the current Echo * until it reaches good enough coverage, it will fallback to current Echo and gnome-icon-theme * use same Perspective Projection as in tango/mango for 32x32 icons and bigger, and in cases where it helps icon distinction in smaller sizes as well, Flat Perspective will be used for the rest * allow small amount of glows/glazes/shines in 256x256 version to achieve better realistic look * use ~ 1 px thick solid borders at all sizes"
