Personally, I think there's some subtlety to this issue of "brand recognition", especially for a community-organized event like Europython.
I think Yusdi's poster logo is pretty creative, and the question of whether last year's Europython logo should be given primacy over his should be based on whether there's already established brand recognition for it, and if not, whether the brand is actually memorable. I don't know about the former because I've never been to Europython, but as for the latter, last year's Europython logo doesn't look very memorable to me. I say this largely because last year's Pycon committee wanted to use its logo over any more creative proposals, and IMO the current Pycon logo is one of the most uninspiring ones I've ever seen. There's enormous creative potential for any kind of design when it comes to open-source events, and the community is really selling itself short if those who don't care about design prevent those who do from contributing in the name of "brand recognition". Anyways, just my 2 cents. - Atul On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 3:45 AM, Yusdi Santoso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://europython.org/euro/img/europython.png > Does anyone have the original source for the image?
