#352 Logo Design for FUDCon Pune 2015
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by siddhesh.

= phenomenon =

This years FUDCon APAC chapter is to be held in Pune, India and we need a new logo:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Pune_2015

= reason =

We had a Pune logo for 2011 that could be used for this event, but it would be nice to have a new logo for this year. The logo will be used as a basis for most content we produce for the event, like the website, social media accounts, t-shirts, etc.

= recommendation =

I personally don't have a lot of ideas for the logo, but it would be nice to have something that doesn't have the mehendi style intricate artwork like in 2011 since it seems to have been overused in all Indian conference logos (KDE.in for example) over the years. Something more contemporary would be nice.


I will take this and maybe come up with something new.

Siddesh - do you have a final deadline you need the design by?

It would be good to have it ready by the end of next week. We're going to put out the CfP with the old logo, but we'd like to have it available as a starting point for the rest of the artwork, i.e. standee designs, t-shirt designs, stickers, leaflets, etc.

So here is the [https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/attachment/ticket/352/fundon-pune-15.png first draft]. It contains elements from Subroto Roy Stadium and the main facade of Pataleshwar caves - symbolizes the newest and the oldest in architecture with relation to Pune. I plan to make the caves fedora blue-ish to give them more contrast. Suggestions welcome

How about including Shanivar wada rather thana stadium? Shanivar Wada looks more iconic to me http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/12400000/shaniwarwada-pune-city-puneites-12473759-1600-1200.jpg

Ok, I will make a variant with that. Will have to draw Shaniwar Wada though.

Hi, here my draft for the shaniwarwada [https://jurankdankkal.fedorapeople.org/FUDCon/FUDConPune2015/logo-draft.svg logo] (not finished yet).
Maybe Suchakra or others can help me for the coloring or another changes?

Thanks, that looks like a nice start to me. Lets get a finished design on these lines by the end of this week.

Here the [https://jurankdankkal.fedorapeople.org/FUDCon/FUDConPune2015/logo.svg updates]. Let me know anything for suggestion and improvement.

Thanks for the design Yogi! Awesome work. I saw last meeting logs for FUDCon Pune and made some minor alterations as people seemed to like this design and asked for changes. Here is the [https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/attachment/ticket/352/logo-draft-suchakra-2.png updated logo] with Pataleshwar caves also. I can do another one with just the Shaniwarwada if required. If we plan to do just Shaniwarwada, I suggest removing the surrounding walls (the ones that extend quite long on each side of main facade) and just have the main door structure with two round columns on each side.

Yogi, SVGs are also attached if you get more ideas.

Thanks Suchakra!

Here is the another [https://jurankdankkal.fedorapeople.org/FUDCon/FUDConPune2015/logo2.svg update] .
One of the logo using India flag color as a background, since I saw from the meeting log someone ask for the flag, but it look odds, maybe we can leave it.
If we plan Pataleshwar and Shaniwarwada as Suchakra advise, but I change it using same color and white border to declare separate building.

I like the flag style. If it is really required (I am not pro-flag though) it would look better if its kept above the text only and does not percolate below. It looks a bit odd when it's below. If a part of it is supposed to be kept below, we can maybe increase the stroke thickness around text and fudcon logo (the white stroke) so that it's thick enough to completely cover it and no part of flag/design is visible in-between the text.

Phew, I should have made changes instead of explaining so much :-/ Please wait for a while I show what I am trying to say.

There's a misunderstanding. The comment in the meeting was about having a flag on top of shaniwarwada. There's apparently a flag pole on top that is not visible in the picture Pravin posted:

I'm not sure if it is necessary, but you could probably tinker with it and see what you end up with.

There was also mention of doing the logo with the Puneri pagadi (hat)[1] instead of the monuments. We don't have a draft for that yet, so the current contenders are the logos y'all have designed so far.

Thanks for your work!

Hi,

I attached the Shaniwarwada with Indian Flag and draft design the Puneri Pagdi (for me still better to use the shaniwarwada for the logo).

Hi Juran,

Nice improvements again !!

Can we do improvements on Fedora 4 petals/balloons? Amit mentioned earlier and i also feel it makes our logo bit imbalance.

May be try to reduce balloons size and adjust it somepart in logo.

Hi Pravins,

Do you mean the white strokes?

Prima Yogi, Try putting the pagdi slanting on the top left balloon instead of behind the text.

I mean 4 ballons on the left hand side. Just before the start FUDCon text.

The guidelines don't allow us to change the size of them individually. Basically, the 'petals' and the 'fudcon' text have to be kept as it is. This is done to have some uniformity with the previous logos.

We had voting on logo in todays FUDCon planning meeting and logo-draft-suchakra-2.png​ wins with majority https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/attachment/ticket/352/logo-draft-suchakra-2.png

http://piratepad.net/FUDConPunePlanning Minutes will be blogged soon.

Now we can start processing on other tickets pending for LOGO. CFP flyer.

Do we need any polishing for finalized DRAFT? is yes please do it soon :)

Just woke up. Cool. Please file other tickets for posters/banners/buttons etc. I'll take some. Big thanks to Yogi for awesome help in this!

Do we need any polishing for finalized DRAFT? is yes please do it soon :)

Yes, I can make multiple sized versions as PNG and SVG for website and for sticker sheets. Will do it within a day.

Thank you Suchakra and Prima Yogi!

Yeah no problem, it's a great things to work with you guys especially Suchakra again for this year. :)
Finally both Shaniwarwada and Pataleshwar will be used for the logo.

[https://jurankdankkal.fedorapeople.org/FUDCon/FUDConPune2015/final/ Here], please check for the final SVG and some PNG size, include with the badges design.

great work! closing.
