OSII Logo? #2

Closed mikaelbr closed 5 years ago

mikaelbr commented 5 years ago

Should we have an OSII logo to use on avatars and such?

One idea I had was to use the OSI (Open Source Initiative) logo (which is CC licensed) to create a light bulb.

Any thoughts, @open-source-ideas/osii-maintainers ?

(Based on the Open Source Initiative logo, not affiliated or endorsed by OSI in any way.)

Well, I'm no designer, but I would vote for option one or two.

I think we can tweak the colours some, and maybe increase the sizing some. And it could do in a pinch until something better comes along?

Something like this?

Reading more it maaay be that this is not OK alterations/use of the logo: https://opensource.org/logo-usage-guidelines and https://opensource.org/logo-usage-guidelines. Will check out some more.

It looks like my idea is ruined. I was originally thinking the page and it's content was CC, but didn't see the trademark. So using the "Open Source icon" is a no-go. Shame, I kind of liked the idea. Not as pretty, but what about something like?

Well, that's a bummer.

Regardless, the last suggestion looks good to me, we good O for open source, light bulb for idea, and it's easy to understand.
