F doesn't look too much like Vicks to me, but that's just my lay opinion. What I like about F (and the horizontal version in E) is that you have a full logo where appropriate (like the home page title bar) but then you have nice compact icons that can be used on subsections, etc. > > > On Thu, 2012-12-13 at 10:25 -0500, Pamela Chestek wrote: > > > I'm not a fan of D or the variants; I think the Fedora logo, which > > > should be the dominant element, gets overwhelmed, then you go > > > through a thought process of "oh, the infinity symbol again, I get > > > it," which is too much thinking for a logo. > > Ah okay, I get that.

Also, if for some reason the word "Magazine" is dropped (because, well, duh, it's a magazine) is it too close to Four Foundations, which means we would essentially be using the same logo for two different concepts? > > > > I like C better; it adds an extra element to create a new look for a > > > magazine but still honors the original logo.

Overall I like F because it has the full logo and smaller icons, which I think would be useful. I like the concept of H and might like it the best if there was a sweet little colored icon for it too, but nothing is coming to mind for me. C is the closest tie to the Fedora Project since it uses the regular Fedora logo, so part of the decision is how closely related you want them to be. C might be awkward to use; because of the diagonal it might be hard to compose around without it looking like it's in the middle of a big field (but you would know better than me). It will also lose crispness if it's used in a small version as an icon - although maybe for the icon version you could take the word "magazine" off and reduce the size of the color bubble to make it smaller. And D is too busy for my taste. Design opinion only, not legal. Not thinking with that part of my brain. Pam
