Project description: to update the logo usage guidelines to stay consistent across all the multiple logos we now use (Fedora, FUDCon, the four foundations, and Remixes).

The forerunner of this is Ian Weller. These changes will, of course, need to be approved by Máirín Duffy.

A draft is available at User:Ianweller/Logo usage guidelines draft.

Proposed changes

  • The concept of "recommended clear space" will be removed. Nobody really cares about it. We will just use "required clear space".
  • Merge the Remix color palette into the Foundations color palette and call the end result "secondary colors".
  • Use MgOpen Modata as our primary font, and use Droid Sans if the required character set is not provided by MgOpen.

Proposed additions

  • We don't care about only the Fedora logo anymore. We have all sorts of fun things to keep track of, and all of these need to have specific guidelines to prevent brand dissolution.
  • Add a tertiary font, Liberation Sans. For use when a font that looks like the Fedora logo isn't necessarily the most sane idea (i.e., contact information on business cards).

Other somewhat vital things

  • Update the Graphic Standards Manual (and hopefully give it a better name). The current version is very out of date (wrong secondary font, etc). Include this in fedora-logos.tar.gz.
    • Ian Weller is looking at other organizational graphics manuals to get a good feel of what our new one should contain.
    • We should also include instructions for using the SVGs with many different applications (Inkscape, the GIMP, Scribus, and maybe non-free software?)
  • Update fedora-logos.tar.gz to contain all the necessary logos with correct colors and clear space.
  • Codify the terms for redistribution, etc. Talk to spot about this.
