We're after a logo!

If you're a designer with a bit of spare time, we're after a simple logo for Joomlday 2008.

It's needed for website, print media and multimedia.

Got questions? Post them here.

I put some thought into this and tried to come up with something that fit the Joomla theme.

Let me know what you think.

Here are a couple other options for discussion.

Wow. I know it's none of my business, but I really like those!

Nice.

Will keep this thread in mind as a portfolio of examples of work!

Unfortunately all the designs thus far fail the brand manual guidelines as they stand.

(Unless they revised the spacing, font and colour rules).

I've made the required changes to meet the style guidelines for Joomla.

The typeface has been changes and he clear space requirements have been corrected. There are no colour issue.

Great artwork, gents!!

Thanks for the reminder, absolom. Logos need approval from OSM anyway, and I will get in touch with Alex Kempens.

Will get back to you all shortly.

Cheers,

Ok Its time to choose!
Its hard as they are both great but that means we need your help even more! We need to pick a logo now to get the website started and send letters to sponsors etc.

Please spare a moment right now and visit the not yet live website at
http://melbourne.joomladay.org.au/
and vote for which logo we should use for MelbJoomla Day 09. All votes most welcome.

Voting closes at the end of the next Melbourne User group meeting on Wed 26 Nov 08.

Thanks again to Brenden - Mediart Solutions and Matthew - Meehan Design for the great and creative designs. Its actually good to have such a tough choice!

How cool! things have been really happening in here. Seriously though guys. I did not realise you were going to commit those designs as a formal submission. I just wanted to spend a couple of hours putting down a logo hybrid of the Joomla "links" icon that I had in my head. That banner was just a throw together to show intergration.

I was hoping that people might then run with it and do more to it or make it a bit more official. I would be happy to standardise fonts etc but I must admit, I have not have not had a good read over usage guidelines. Just let me know if you still want to get any more formal updates off me.
