Dear community members,
Im a graphic designer and for the last couple of months I have been working on a new logo for the Nouveau project. After sending preliminary designs to both Martin Peres and Ilia Mirkin, we have decided to share the logo in order to gather your feedback.
I would like to highlight that the logo incorporates a penguin corresponding to the linux kernel components used to create this open source driver. The 3D cube/shape represents the 2D and 3D acceleration capability. The “n” simply stands for the first letter in Nouveau and the green colour was chosen because the driver is for NVIDIA video cards.
Please provide Martin and Ilia with your comments and preferences, since they both have been the ones giving me the design requirements.
Valeria Aguilera.

I see no problems with being slightly off centre, the colour tones look great and I really like the penguin's posture.

I would like to address here the "BSD not wanted" argument that seems to be implied by having a Penguin in the logo: - Nouveau does not currently run on any other kernel but Linux. I know that the BSDs are interested in porting Nouveau to their OS and I'm happy they are doing so, but I do not think any real development will happen on BSD unless both communities change heavily; - The architecture of Nouveau DRM has been thought to use as little dependencies to Linux as possible to ease porting (especially to work in the userspace). - Nouveau is under the MIT/X11 licence which is BSD-compatible! - Finally, historically, Nouveau has only been developed on Linux by Linux users. I personnally find the penguin extremely cute and I would rather want to keep it. I hope I have convinced you (and especially the BSD-hobbyists) that it does not mean we are hostile to BSD in any case! Cheers and thanks again for your contribution!

Not attempting to take any *side* on the matter. But rather from a view to circumvent any such related "discussion", and *further* not attempting to take anything away from the artists hard work; but wouldn't an OS agnostic approach be the "ideal" candidate? Just saying. :) --Chris > > Martin _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Of course some users will think that Nouveau is specific to Linux when they see this logo, but the day we work on porting the driver, it's our job to communicate the fact that it works on FreeBSD too. All in all, the logo won't stop us from stealing Nouveau :-) Congratulations Valeria for your work! -- Jean-Sébastien Pédron [-- Attachment #1.2: OpenPGP digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 949 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 153 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Could you address those concerns for the next update? I know that the penguin is asymmetric so it is hard to horizontally centre it but instead of centring it at its base, could you try to move it so as the general mass is better centred? With this done, I guess delivering the logo as an svg file along with its licence (have you had time to look at the creative commons?) would be a great step. It would also be nice to have one logo without nouveau written (for presentations) and one logo for the wiki (to replace the freedesktop logo: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/). Thanks again Valeria for your work! It is greatly appreciated :) Martin [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 1819 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 153 bytes --] _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

I wonder if you will also need pre-made scaled versions? Simply scaling an SVG image to something like favicon size might not always be the best without manual tuning. The logo is really nice apart the centering issue now that that's been mentioned. :-) Thanks, pq _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
