  • If this is for an icon, please indicate if you need desktop icons or web application icons.

  • Other notes

I was thinking that a basic design could be something like a jar of green pickle relish, since "ELN puts the RHEL-ish on the Beefy Miracle".

I like the pickle jar, even though Stephen's pun makes me squirm. :)

I wasn't initially thinking of it matching the Editions, but I like that a lot!

@mattdm how do you feel about ELN being positioned in the same sort of "brand space" as the editions? do you think that is where it belongs or would you rather more (or less) distance?

ELN isn't supposed to have any user-level artifacts -- the output is supposed to be just for testing, right? So while I like how it looks, I think conceptually it needs more distance.

Right, anyone who deploys ELN in production deserves what they get :)

How about a hat shaped silhouette (doesn't have to be redhat fedora, but some hat) inside the fedora logo? Representing its subset of Fedora packages which are built with an enterprise build configuration.

@mohanboddu it is my long-running understanding it would be better to not use hats as a meaningful symbol in community branding regardless of the style of hat.

@mattdm @sgallagh Is the audience for this such that it really needs a deeply thought-out, very public facing symbol? I get for EPEL that this is important and end users are using it (I mention this because we have another ticket going for that logo design.) ELN seems to have quite a bit more of a niche, development-oriented audience so I am not sure if a deep engagement / time investment on branding here is going to be worthwhile (please correct me if I am reading this wrong.)

@duffy You have that correct. ELN is not a product, Edition or end-user-facing project. The request for a logo is mostly for use within the Fedora Project (such as in presentations and design documents).

Also, yep, it's true about the hats.

@sgallagh how are you feeling about the condiment-based logo?

I like it, personally! I'll bounce it off some of the other ELN SIG members.

I absolutely love the idea. @duffy, you rock :)

I'll close this as complete then :) Let me know if you need in other formats.

Could we get an SVG version of this logo?
