I still wonder why a proprietary font was used for the
logo of a project like Fedora
What font is used in a logo really does not impact the choice of other
fonts used in a layout that includes that logo. In fact, it is my
opinion that using a font in a layout that is the _same_ as the font
used in a logo included in the layout dilutes the impact of the logo.
These other fonts certainly could be fonts that are free to use.
In other words, why would you want to use the font from the logo
anywhere else in a design ?
Not the font, but the logo itself, the way I see it they are actually
two logos: The bubbling f with enclosed within the infinity symbol, and
the word "fedora" written with the font (for identity), so you have a
text logo and an image logo.
I would think the Fedora Project would want to control what other
fonts are used in any layouts or graphics, so a consistent image is
presented at all times. Is there any work being done on an identity
style guide for the Fedora Project ? If you are not sure what I am
talking about, Google "identity guide" and take a look how other
organizations document best practices on the use of their logos, and
creating documents or layouts to present a consistent visual identity.
My point was that Fedora is not free to distribute the whole logo (text
+ image) due to the fact that the font is not open or free, which seems
a bit strange for a FLOSS project.
