Open Stack

Heidi,

The Trove team came up with several logo options. The result of a vote was decisive:


1.  Stingray [1]

2.  A Clam with a Pearl in it. [2]

I have heard of no one else wanting to use the Stingray so I would like to request that the foundation consider that our preference.

Among the options suggested was “Salmonella”. One person (nameless) explained it to me as “A small female fish”. The community will be happy to know that in the voting, Salmonella received zero votes. If any other team would like to take the idea of salmonella after reading this email, I’d request that they please credit the Trove team for this suggestion ☺ We promise that we won’t use that logo and there will be no conflict. Here’s a picture of “salmonella” [3].

Other options which did not garner enough support included a whale, a koala bear, and a sea dragon.

Thanks,

-amrith

Subject: [openstack-dev] Mascot/logo for your project

The Foundation would like to help promote OpenStack projects in the big tent with branding and marketing services. The idea is to create a family of logos for OpenStack projects that are unique, yet immediately identifiable as part of OpenStack. We’ll be using these logos to promote your project on the OpenStack website, at the Summit and in marketing materials.


We’re asking project teams to choose a mascot to represent as their logo. Your team can select your own mascot, and then we’ll have an illustrator create the logo for you (and we also plan to print some special collateral for your team in Barcelona).


If your team already has a logo based on a mascot from nature, you’ll have first priority to keep that mascot, and the illustrator will restyle it to be consistent with the other projects. If you have a logo that doesn’t have a mascot from nature, we encourage your team to choose a mascot.


Here’s an FAQ and examples of what the logos can look like: http://www.openstack.org/project-mascots
We’ve also recorded a quick video with an overview of the project: https://youtu.be/LOdsuNr2T-o


You can get in touch with your PTL to participate in the logo choice discussion. If you have more questions, I’m happy to help. :-)


Cheers,
Heidi Joy
