Re: [gNewSense-art] artwork proposal

Hi all guys...

i'm very glad for the feedback we are receiving here in the list, this 
indicates we are working in the right direction, i think gNS is evolving 
to a new stage, in this process is absolutly necessary start to redefine 
the gNS identity, ain't telling gNS has no identity, i mean it's 
identity must to follow this evolution, this is a personal aprecciation 
but i feel the original logo do not represents the spirit of gNS.

Eus, said in past messages the logo has three elements, a tree, gnu and 
a human head, we can think in a tree like a "ad factum" element in the 
logo, and that's acceptable, but the gnu and the human head/face are 
elements that not offer nothing to the identity, in the meaning this are 
common elements to the major distributions, i have not to explain 
why...all we know what represents the gnu,  and the human face...well,  
we can think in that like the conceptualization of the final 
users...anyway, these graphical elements are representatives but aren't 
distinctive and when we talk about identity we have to think in a 
graphical identification, and that should be unique, representative by 
itself and mainly must contain the meaning of the spirit of the project, 
and i think the main concept we must to remark is the freedom, 
technically talking (and this is an absolutly personal opinion) a tree 
doesn't the better option to represent the freedom, it's an element that 
is stuck to its environment, that is opposed to the freedom 
(conceptually talking), but being objective, i think we should found a 
way to refresh the logo...

At this point, surely we'll find some resistance, first at all i don't 
know if the project leaders are agree with that, i sent a message to 
Paul O'Malley a few days ago about this matter, i had no answer yet, i 
think the actual logo it's not a mature graphic element, it's hard to 
work with it, would be important we can discuss about the "gNS concept" 
to define a graphical identity that can reach the evolution process of 
the project...I feel identity it was left in the path...
