Fedora logo is B/W? Why? #1

Greetings.

Thanks a lot for your distro logos icons set.

I wonder why Fedora is one of the distros which is B/W while others are colored. Can it be fixed?

Thanks!

Hello, and thank you! Actually I couldn't really remember why. But the included .xcf file actually includes the original color version of the logo. Now I tried to generate from that version as well. And now I remember that it gave quite subpar results. For some reason the colors began to invert too, and when I increased the saturation, it just got worse. See: https://i.imgur.com/tUQUwF6.png In the end I couldn't figure it out back then, so I thought I'd just include a grayscale version.

Ohm. Interesting. Thank you for your fast answer @emoryy

But, included where exactly? I can't find any fedora source XCF files in your repo. Also, in the official logo webpage, I see only png versions, sadly: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines#The_Fedora_Logos (they are telling you need to get some approval by mail to get the SVG logos, lol). I think currently most distros are distributing the logos as SVG and PNG, but not the XCF...

It was just so convenient to use the logos from this except that fedora problem :)

@sxiii Almost all things are in the hi.xcf. It was simpler to do like this, because the background and frame is common for all of the logos.

xcf is the file format of Gimp, so it wouldn't really make sense for distros to distribute their single graphics in this format, especially if they weren't made in Gimp to begin with.

In the case of my repo I thought it would make sense to include it, because I worked with raster graphics, and in case someone wanted to make adjustments, for example change the background slightly, etc, it would be much easier to work with the source.

I was able to find a logo in svg format for Fedora just by googling its name plus svg: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fedora_logo.svg

I also was able to find this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Stickers It's not a single log, but all kind of stickers where the logo was used in different forms. You could extract the single logo from here too.

Hi @emoryy :) I know what XCF is, I work with gimp mostly every day. :)

I got your point; I was just curious of your sources of where did you gathered all logos in XCF, as the conversion from/to any format is usually having the quality loss issues, except for the vector format as SVG, of course.

Ahh, so you found the logo on the wiki. Kinda not official source of the distro but fine for sure.

Yeah I already used a color logo I just loved your repos and the point that I could use the same link & structure in my scripts. And I take 75% of the logos from your script except for the Fedora one which make this inconsistent. But I can live with that :)

Anyways, thank you for your answer and links. :)
