Hi everyone!

I spent some time playing with Inkscape for the first time, and I've once again blogged about the first few logos I've digitized! Awaiting your feedback!

That's an interesting twist to the game! I like Strip-C the most.

As for [1], I find the A-series uniquely intriguing. The B-Series is a blowup of the A-Series. I don't think the extra details are appropriate for logos. Most times, logos are presented small ... those twiddly bits won't be visible. If they were, the will look too busy.

Series-C is very matured but intel-ish. Reminds me of the kind of logos Intel likes to use. But I like them a lot -- simple and straightforward. I've also seen a better Cloud logo for Series-C in a more recent post (the one were all the cloud bits are symmetrically unequal)

Series-D lacks appeal for reasons I can't easily identify. Perhaps its the colours. Maybe, Series-C could loose the intel looks if it borrowed the fedora-logo outline (like the ones in Series-D). The symbolism in Series-D also fails to communicate the intended purpose. A crossed square for server? I don't get the connection. The workstation logo looks like it will be better for server. The cloud one might be better off without the line.

As per colours, i have noticed that lime-green, orange and light-purple are being marketed the most. Why is this happening? What's the rationale behind those colours? Can't we use something that doesn't have a psychological connection to other distros? I immediately think SUSE when I see green tech-logos. Likewise, Ubuntu comes to mind with the orange ones. I think purple will sit well with Servers according to my perception of "colour psychology". Perhaps gray will be more amenable for Desktop and Sky-blue for Cloud. Just my thought though.

Nice work Sarup

Regards Onyeibo
