Hi Julien, 

The logos are offered on a per-project basis, based on the Yaml file that 
listed 57 projects approved by the TC. Thanks for asking me to clarify!

Cheers,

Re: [openstack-dev] Mascot/logo for your project

[Amrith Kumar]

Heidi,

The Trove team came up with several logo options. The result of a vote was 
decisive:


1.  Stingray [1]

2.  A Clam with a Pearl in it. [2]

I have heard of no one else wanting to use the Stingray so I would like to 
request that the foundation consider that our preference.

Among the options suggested was “Salmonella”. One person (nameless) explained 
it to me as “A small female fish”. The community will be happy to know that in 
the voting, Salmonella received zero votes. If any other team would like to 
take the idea of salmonella after reading this email, I’d request that they 
please credit the Trove team for this suggestion ☺ We promise that we won’t use 
that logo and there will be no conflict. Here’s a picture of “salmonella” [3].

Other options which did not garner enough support included a whale, a koala 
bear, and a sea dragon.

Thanks,

-amrith

Subject: [openstack-dev] Mascot/logo for your project

The Foundation would like to help promote OpenStack projects in the big tent 
with branding and marketing services. The idea is to create a family of logos 
for OpenStack projects that are unique, yet immediately identifiable as part of 
OpenStack. We’ll be using these logos to promote your project on the OpenStack 
website, at the Summit and in marketing materials.


We’re asking project teams to choose a mascot to represent as their logo. Your 
team can select your own mascot, and then we’ll have an illustrator create the 
logo for you (and we also plan to print some special collateral for your team 
in Barcelona).


If your team already has a logo based on a mascot from nature, you’ll have 
first priority to keep that mascot, and the illustrator will restyle it to be 
consistent with the other projects. If you have a logo that doesn’t have a 
mascot from nature, we encourage your team to choose a mascot.


Here’s an FAQ and examples of what the logos can look like: 
http://www.openstack.org/project-mascots
We’ve also recorded a quick video with an overview of the project:

Heidi will likely confirm, but my understanding is that it's a mascot per team,
not per deliverable within that team. So in your case that would be the
"Telemetry" mascot.


Heidi, could you confirm that it is a mascot per team or per project?

Honestly, I don't think it'll suit us to have only one mascot/logo. It's
gonna be hard to use a logo marked "Telemetry" as a branding for our 4
different projects that do different things – even if it's in the same
area.


In my understanding, the mascot represents the team, not the project. So 
it represents the scope of the team and its members more than any 
particular by-product of that team.


For Telemetry, I'd choose a highly-distributed animal with multiple 
arms, like a starfish :)


But I'll let Heidi Joy confirm what the intent is here.

Why so much restrictions on the logo?
Someone from my group proposed:
https://drive.google.com/a/mirantis.com/file/d/0BzWdugYdps1nMmNJTFBfaDNPZXM/view?usp=sharing

Isn't it "conventional"? I would like to understand why we restrict to
animals / nature things.

Woot, we in oslo talked about it during today's meeting and from what I 
can tell we'd like to have the moose that we currently have adjusted as 
needed and continue forward with that (we've been using this logo for a 
while already in stickers...):

[openstack-dev] Mascot/logo for your project

[Heidi Joy Tretheway]

Answering a few questions: 
Snip: "Just a little strange for a community-driven open source project to be 
replacing community-created mascots with top-down designs. I'm not terribly 
opposed to it, but would have definitely preferred if this had come across as a 
request instead of a mandate. I think it's cool and unique that the Ironic 
mascot was designed/drawn by one of our more prolific contributors (Lucas), and 
we'll lose some of that shine with a less-unique logo.”
This is a request, not a mandate - you’re not required to choose a mascot. :-) 
We’re alerting you to the design resource that’s now available to you. We’ve 
done our best to honor community preferences by giving those projects with 
existing mascots priority to keep them. Because illustration styles vary 
widely, having a single illustrator allows us to create branding consistency 
while still keeping the content (mascot) unique to the project and chosen by 
the project team. We also reached out to PTLs last week to ask for 
questions/concerns.
I think we could all be easily bribed if the foundation provided copious 
amounts of stickers to contributors with the new mascot designs on them. :P
There are stickers in the works for sure! And I hope to create some additional 
awesomeness, depending on budget.

What if a project doesn't come up with a mascot? Does the Foundation pick one 
for that project?

If you don’t select a mascot, don’t worry—we won’t pick one for you. We’ll be 
happy to create a text-only treatment of just your project name. Our intent is 
to use the logos across openstack.org, Summit branding, and other marketing 
materials to promote your project. You’ll also get the image file and you can 
use it in your presentations or to create more swag if you like. 

Overall, the response to this has been hugely positive and we have more than

I think it's fine if ironic and tripleo want to stick with their current 
animals (luckily they are using logos that meet the new criteria proposed by 
the foundation), but I don't think it's unreasonable if the foundation proposes 
a re-design of existing logos that is more consistent with the rest of the new 
ones.

The logos we use today are too different from each other, i don't think anyone 
would disagree with that. If each project goes off and does their own thing it 
comes off as inconsistent.


Just a little strange for a community-driven open source project to be 
replacing community-created mascots with top-down designs. I'm not terribly 
opposed to it, but would have definitely preferred if this had come across as a 
request instead of a mandate. I think it's cool and unique that the Ironic 
mascot was designed/drawn by one of our more prolific contributors (Lucas), and 
we'll lose some of that shine with a less-unique logo.

I think we could all be easily bribed if the foundation provided copious 
amounts of stickers to contributors with the new mascot designs on them. :P

Thanks,
Jay

TripleO has had some discussion already around a project mascot, and we've
settled on the owl logo displayed on tripleo.org and our 
launchpad org:

http://tripleo.org/
https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/

(There is also a hi-res version or SVG around, I just can't find it atm)

This was discussed in the community and accepted here:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-March/089043.html

Which was in turn based on a previous design discussed here:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/075649.html

So, I think it's likely (unless anyone objects) we'll stick with that
current owl theme for our official mascot.

Overall I like the idea of encouraging official mascots/logos for projects,
quite a few have done so informally and I think it's a fun way to reinforce
project/team identity within the OpenStack community.

Thanks!

Lets see how it ends up :)

I don't think I value consistency in mascots too much, but we'll see.

Ironic has had a mascot for quite some time, it can be found on 
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic (see in the bottom).




If your team already has a logo based on a mascot from nature, you’ll
have first priority to keep that mascot, and the illustrator will
restyle it to be consistent with the other projects. If you have a logo
that doesn’t have a mascot from nature, we encourage your team to choose
a mascot.

Here’s an FAQ and examples of what the logos can look like:

[openstack-dev] Mascot/logo for your project

[Heidi Joy Tretheway]

The Foundation would like to help promote OpenStack projects in the big tent 
with branding and marketing services. The idea is to create a family of logos 
for OpenStack projects that are unique, yet immediately identifiable as part of 
OpenStack. We’ll be using these logos to promote your project on the OpenStack 
website, at the Summit and in marketing materials.  

We’re asking project teams to choose a mascot to represent as their logo. Your 
team can select your own mascot, and then we’ll have an illustrator create the 
logo for you (and we also plan to print some special collateral for your team 
in Barcelona). 

If your team already has a logo based on a mascot from nature, you’ll have 
first priority to keep that mascot, and the illustrator will restyle it to be 
consistent with the other projects. If you have a logo that doesn’t have a 
mascot from nature, we encourage your team to choose a mascot. 

Here’s an FAQ and examples of what the logos can look like: 
http://www.openstack.org/project-mascots 

We’ve also recorded a quick video with an overview of the project:
