I'm with Jay on this but look forward to reading what the Skyline team thinks.

Subject: [Skyline] Project mascot to review

To: openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org Greetings everyone,

I’m James, a designer with the OpenInfra Foundation. We have a been working on a new project mascot for Skyline and wanted to share a couple of options with you.

The reference we were provided alluded to a nine-color-deer, so we created a deer illustration in the style of the other project mascots. The two options are essentially the same, but one is white with spots and the other is yellow with spots. Let me know if you like one or the other—or if we’re totally off on the theme—and we will add the text to the logo and finalize the assets.

James,

I am partial to the white one, especially if it is supposed to be a deer. The yellow one looks more like a giraffe to me.

Thanks!

Jay

Yes, I forgot to mention that it is a beautiful design!  Very graceful!

Wow! First of all, it's beautiful! Great job!

Like all the others so far, I also strongly prefer the white one.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the additional feedback over the weekend. I wanted to show you the white option both with overlapping spots (option 1) and without overlapping spots (option 2). Is there a clear winner between these two? PDF attached and viewable via Dropbox here https://www.dropbox.com/s/n6og0jb7lx1feri/20220131_Mascots%20Project-r2.pdf?dl=0.

Thanks!

Hi again everyone,

Thank you for all the feedback on this! The white background version has a definitive lead at the moment, but I will leave the discussion open over the weekend in case anyone else wants to chime in.

@Sean Moony mentioned a preference for the triangle pattern on the yellow version since they aren’t overlapping. I’m curious if anyone else shares a preference for that triangle pattern button on the white background.

Thank you again!

Hello James

Skyline dev team prefer option 2, no overlapping one looks concise. Simplicity is better than complexity.

Thanks for your great working!

Thanks

I pick non-overlap because it is less busy. Also, it gives a feeling that the different colour bits, while different in size and colour, are all equally important in their contribution to what makes the mascot the mascot.

Hi James,

Both are awesome but option 2 is more awesome (GMail suggested "aesthetically pleasing" and I agree). Non-overlapping variant feels more "in order", i.e., there is some structure to what is offered and the pieces fit together (as opposed to being randomly scattered).

ack that was partly how i felt intially too when i orginally provided that feedback. the overlaping ones were just a little busy and my eyey were draw to the noise it added.

with the non overlapping version i find my self looking at the mascot as a whole rather then lookign at the colours primarlay

both are pleaseing to see but i think its clear my prefernce lies with option 2 :) james thanks for providign that for consideration.

Hi again everyone,

I wanted to share final files with you so you can begin using them. These are available in different formats and also have text added in the same style as all the other project logos. We are also working to get the files up on https://www.openstack.org/project-mascots/ https://www.openstack.org/project-mascots/ but they aren’t there quite yet.

Thanks for all your feedback on this project!

Tough choice and we want to pick one then let’s go with white because other colors looks good on white.
