<div class="">I think it's fine if ironic and tripleo want to stick with their current animals (luckily they are using logos that meet the new criteria proposed by the foundation), but I don't think it's unreasonable if the foundation proposes a re-design of
existing logos that is more consistent with the rest of the new ones. </div>

<div class="">The logos we use today are too different from each other, i don't think anyone would disagree with that. If each project goes off and does their own thing it comes off as inconsistent. </div>

<div>Just a little strange for a community-driven open source project to be replacing community-created mascots with top-down designs. I'm not terribly opposed to it, but would have definitely preferred if this had come across as a request instead of a mandate.
I think it's cool and unique that the Ironic mascot was designed/drawn by one of our more prolific contributors (Lucas), and we'll lose some of that shine with a less-unique logo.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>I think we could all be easily bribed if the foundation provided copious amounts of stickers to contributors with the new mascot designs on them. :P</div>

TripleO has had some discussion already around a project mascot, and we've<br class="">
settled on the owl logo displayed on <a href="http://tripleo.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">
tripleo.org</a> and our launchpad org:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="http://tripleo.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://tripleo.org/</a><br class="">
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/</a><br class="">
<br class="">
(There is also a hi-res version or SVG around, I just can't find it atm)<br class="">
<br class="">
This was discussed in the community and accepted here:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-March/089043.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-March/089043.html</a><br class="">
<br class="">
Which was in turn based on a previous design discussed here:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/075649.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-September/075649.html</a><br class="">
<br class="">
So, I think it's likely (unless anyone objects) we'll stick with that<br class="">
current owl theme for our official mascot.<br class="">
<br class="">
Overall I like the idea of encouraging official mascots/logos for projects,<br class="">
quite a few have done so informally and I think it's a fun way to reinforce<br class="">
project/team identity within the OpenStack community.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks!<br class="">
