I'm equally fond of the puppy, the stylized fc "hat" as well as the element concept but for different reasons for each. I think the puppy is flexible and would very useful to create a palet of icons to be used in the growing official documentation and is frankly very "friendly" and appealing to what i consider a non-hardcore crowd. Perhaps a little too busy to make a good black-and-white logo or to be used at 24x24. I think the stylized "not-a-hat" hat, made up of the f and c letters has a certain style has a double meaning aspect that i crave. It would be easily re-usable on gear such as baseball caps or anthing that needed to be stitched and because of its minimal stroked style would look reasonable on black and white or small scales. I think the element idea is the most..functional..but also the most cold in terms of style and approachability. I don't get the warm and fuzzies from the element like i do the puppy. Or the "aha" moment when i see the "not-a-hat" hat as i realize its a hat..but not really and I ponder the deep subtle meaning there. The element screams "distro for science geeks", which personally I have no problem with since I'd love to be the target audience for a change of pace. Though if I were I fear my ego would expand to encompass all of the habitable space on the planet and the rest of humanity would be forced to travel to mars to rebuild human civilization. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
