New badge for Yumi?
-
I have come to this rather tardily I fear, but here are my suggestions if it is not too late.
I am not very artistic on a computer screen but in this case, I thought it might come out better for the symmetry if I used a gimp.
I really liked the idea of the 3 "semi-circles above" but think it is still too similar to Ubuntu. I thought also that 4 U-people might represent Coders, Translators, Testers, &Users which is the community of UBports. By having the heads half in, half out of the containing circle, I think it represents that we look to each other as well as to the rest of the world at large.A major improvement to the design would be edging to the characters and circle, particularly on the last (Yumi badge) design so that it could be just the white parts and the edging without the background red.
-
My favourite so far is the one on the right, just needs to the right colour
I also like this one, but I think this is asking for legal issues honestly.
-
@PhoenixLandPirat I'm not good at drawing, but I like something like that...
-
Why does Yumi need this sort of "badge" at all?
If you want to design a new OS logo for UT, that's fine, but let's not waste time conflating multiple different pieces of branding, trying to shove them all together into the same thing, and having too much in too little space. We already have enough of that.
And no, I don't think we should just tweak the Ubuntu circle of friends logo into some odd distortion of things. IMO, there should be no such "badge" on the Yumi mascot.
-
I know the topic is old and I'm a little bit late to the party, but maybe, when will be the time to look for another logo other than Ubuntu, have a look here....
Thanks!

@C0n57an71n Ok I'm being very slow so please explain.
@Lakotaubp The reason for doing a logo or the reason of doing a feather as a logo? What's your question?
-
@C0n57an71n The feather
-
@Lakotaubp
My bet (or interpretation) is light weight and soft touch.
Or maybe because the feather is stronger than the sword... -
@AppLee You are right about the two, I didn't knew the one with the sword
-
@Lakotaubp Well..., I came up with the feather since I didn't want to recycle the Ubuntu logo and, to be honest, we might want to step out from it's shadow in the future, as Manjaro doesn't carry Arch in it's name, and this is just an example. Yumi it's nice, but I see it as a mascot, not as an OS logo, and is just an adaptation between Android logo and Eve from Wall-E. So..., giving this, I just played around the word "Touch".
-
@C0n57an71n Problem being "feather "features in a lot of other branding one way or another. It certainly might be something for the future for all the reasons you mention.Short term think the Ubuntu one will be be here for a while. Good to see you thinking about it though might be worth a chat with @Kaizen or @CiberSheep for the long term.
-
@Lakotaubp Just because one thing appears in a logo somewhere doesn't mean you can't use it. Nobody has a copyright to nature. @Kaizen and @CiberSheep are more than welcome to debate and come with their own ideas, and not only them.

@Keneda Yeah, I've read about it, but that's 'merica.

@C0n57an71n I liked the feather!
I see it as a mascot, not as an OS logo.
Yumi has plenty to offer as a character. There are many ways to improve him to a really memorable logo, but he is already taken the mascot position. The bottom line it's all come down to the process.
And the process is sometimes full of many stressful decisions. Since I do it for my living, I can say behind every pixel hiding many stakeholders' decisions, expectations, and argues.
Nobody has copyright to nature.
Some companies even claim colors.
giving this, I just played around the word "Touch".
Yes, and that is where process start from. I like your styles, you are definitely a thinker.

@Kaizen Thanks for the words
