Well, I tried mostly to bait the people here in an useful discussion to
get a single slogan for F8 (not a hundred as before) and maybe a concrete
list with what graphics are needed.
We had a thread on marketing-list a while back about it... I'll go back
through it and aggregate all the suggestions and post them in this
thread... I remember there were a couple I really thought fit the theme.
I know that thread, it ended with no conclusion.
Well, let's pick one right now and conclude it. :) Here's the aggregation I
promised, I starred the ones I think have the most potential:
Slogan Ideas:
**-"Fedora, an operating system with a limitless power."
- "Freedom; Simplicity; Technology Edge. Fedora. Your operating system."
- "Freedom, Simplicity, Collaboration, Ready for the Future. Fedora. Your
operating system."
- "The future of the operating systems is here. Fedora. My choice."
- "Fedora. The operating system I can call 'mine'."
- "Fedora: my choice."
**- "Fedora: Infinite Boundaries"
**- "F8: Unleash your infinite potential"
**- "Infinite Potential"
- "Fedora, The Open Source Freedom, For open Free Minds."
- "Freedom of Choice."
- Infinite Freedom
-Diverse Free Voice
-Your Voice, Your Future
-The Future Is Now
**-Infinite Possibilities
-Logical System, Logical Future
-Voice - Infinity - Future
-Beautiful is useful
Looking through these I'm seeing a bit of a pattern. We could just do two
words... adjective + noun.
The adjectives could be:
- Infinite
- Limitless
- Boundless
- Unlimited
The nouns could be:
- Power
- Potential
- Boundaries
- Possibilities
Let me tell you what I think we should use based on all of this:
"Fedora. Infinite Possibilities."
"Possibilities" I think is the best noun. "Power" has too much emphasis on
what you can do technically - a "powerful" piece of software is not
necessarily an easily to use or well-designed piece of software and because
we ship GNOME by default I think "power" is a bit of a clash there. So
scratch that. "Boundaries" kind of focuses on the negative - a boundary is a
barrier - we want to focus on more the positive, amazing things we do and
will continue to accomplish, so scratch "boundaries." "Potential" makes me
think of the phrase "never lived up to their potential"... it seems to have a
connotation to me about what could have been but wasn't. Possibilities,
though, seems future and forward- looking - thinking about good things that
will happen.
"Boundless" again focuses on a barrier, negative, so scratch that. Same with
"Unlimited" and "limitless" it focuses on limitations. "Infinity" is really
the only word that doesn't present a negative, and it's also the official
word in the official overall slogan of Fedora: "Infinity. Freedom. Voice."
That gives it another plus.
So! How does: "Fedora. Infinite Possibilities." sound?
