Artwork ideas for Frugalware by Léo

I. Introducing the new Frugalware !

1. Why ?

Just because, I found the current identity of Frugalware doesn't match with what actually is Frugalware. Moreover, this artwork doesn't always look good.

2. How ?

I decided the only possible way to have Frugalware looked good is taking the problem on the basements, it means designing a new identity. Including, Logo, Font, colours and so on… However, we do not forget that this new logo mustn't be “too new”. It means that people have to recognize that the new logo is related with the former one and of course with Frugalware.

3. When ?

Well, just right now ! It’d great if this artwork could be entirely finished for Frugalware 1.1…

4. What exactly ?

As I said the rethinking of Frugalware Artwork includes logos, colours, fonts and of course each element of the OS itself. It means (I should have forgotten a few things) X11 cursor, GDM , KDM, SLIM, Splashy, Wallpaper, Emerald, GTK, KDE window manager, Splashscreens, frugalware-related logos (such as GFPM, Gnetconfig or Gservice for example)…

II. Get ready !

1. Colours

The aim is to make Frugalware Artwork more professional so I've chosen 2 grays and a crude blue : Those colours look modern and confident. They are great for a technological product such as Frugalware Linux. For example, Ubuntu Studio uses a quite similar colour theme.

Some explainations about this. A circle, because Frugalware dev never stops and a circle obviously has no end. Then, the little “ying/yang” figure, to show that Frugalware is a well balanced OS and that's based on sharing. The gradients make the logo lighter, such as Frugalware which is actually lightweight. And at last, the “F” for “Frugalware”.

3. The Font

I've tried to make a quite serious font, but not too much…

4. Environement

The rest of the artwork…

5. What about Getorin ?

I'm not a fan of Isaac Asimov (too young for that ;p ) but I've read that Getorin is a quite enjoyable and pretty planet. So maybe that we should make the Getorin default wallpaper “sweet”… that's just an idea ok ? don't hit me !
