I share Patty's enthusiasm for this logo. Incorporating the swirl into the rose is very clever - I'm glad we have people in the group who can think in terms of such things, I certainly can't :) Do you think there's room in the logo to incorporate other elements of Portland's skyline, as in the logo Brian proposed earlier? I have no strong feelings on this, and will defer to the more design-minded folks to sort this question out. The one thing that sticks out to me as needing improvement is the font, which I really don't care for at all. Perhaps we could use the font from the Debian logo? AIUI the font from the original logo is non-free, but there is a free approximation here: http://www.abstractfonts.com/search/laudatioc If this font isn't a good fit, I don't mind this much either; this font has often been used for the DebConf logos, but not universally (DC11/12 used it, DC10/13 did not). But whether or not we want to use that font in particular, the current one is really quite jarring to me. Can you also share the source for this logo? (I assume it was originally done as xcf or svg) Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
