Re: RE: [mer-general] [NEMO] Social presence and branding

hi;

Suggestion:
 
 
A large Golden N on a black field.

I guess that for many people any Golden decoration may look banal
if not tasteless.

No offending though, just my halfpenny.

Emblem
 
His emblem, as given in a description of the flag he raised when
claiming [1]Antarctica, is a large golden N on a black field. The motto
of the Nautilus was Mobilis in mobili, which may be roughly translated
from Latin as, moving amidst mobility, moving within the moving
element, or changing in the changes.

I second the motion to pick a logo, so that branding can be based on
it. We also need a paragraph which describes the philosophy of nemo
branding and a choice of colors.
 
 
Some things to stir up some creative thinking.
 
 
How do we want nemo to feel? Serious, playful, cute, minimal?
 
 
Nemo already has a variation of colors in the application title bars
(and qt components). Thus there isn't a dominant nemo color.
 
 
The darko theme plays with very subtle gradients, and shallow 3D
effects. Low contrast textures go very well with this design style.
 
 
Mer, nemo, are sea themed names and obviously blue is the first thing
that comes to mind.
 
 
Would we like to see nemo in high, mid or low end devices? Or all?
Should marketing material look premium, or accessible to all?
 
 
That is all that comes to my mind right now, but more of these generic
questions always help when creating a brand, so if you got one shoot
it, even if it seems obvious, or trivial.

There have been some logo suggestions too lately. Those are worth to

It would also be nice to finally pick an official logo.

for both Nemo and Mer in separation for all networks, but perhaps Mer
will be better served in technical oriented one where as Nemo could
benefit more from more relaxed networks like Facebook for fan pages
etc? (sorry if we've had this discussion before, I'd like to recoup)
Best and thanks!

I would still recommend checking out the various logo suggestions out there.
The people behind them are passionate and professional, I don't think we
know better than them.
