That’s why every project that had an existing community-illustrated logo had first option to keep that mascot in the revised logo, and in most cases they chose to do this. So Oslo’s moose, Senlin’s forest, Tacker’s squid, and Cloudkitty’s cat (among others) will still be the prominent feature in their logo.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><i class="">Steve Hardy wrote:</i><div class=""><i class="">“In cases where a new logo is produced I'm sure community enthusiasm and acceptance will be greater if team members have played a part in the logo design process or at least provided some feedback prior to the designs being declared final?”</i></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">HJ: Absolutely. That’s why we encouraged project teams to work together to select their mascot. I received dozens of team etherpads and Condorcet polls from PTLs to show how the team decided their mascot candidates. The PTLs confirmed their winners for the list you see on <a href="http://www.openstack.org/project-mascots" class="">http://www.openstack.org/project-mascots</a>. You can also see an example of an illustration style there, and we expect to have the first five logos (with the final illustration style) in hand shortly. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It’s going to be a major effort to complete 50 illustrations x 3 logo variations prior to Barcelona, but I think we can make it. That said, it’s not possible to do several rounds of revisions with each project team and the illustrators. What I’ve been doing instead is listening carefully to project team requests and pulling photos to share with the illustrators that best show what the teams intend. I’m happy to share that with anyone who asks.</div><div class=""> </div><div class="">Heidi Joy<div class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class="">______</div><div class="">Heidi Joy Tretheway</div><div class="">Senior Marketing Manager, OpenStack Foundation</div><div class="">503 816 9769 | skype: heidi.tretheway</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
