Good to see more mockups, that was quick! Agreed, "Simply powerful" is a better slogan. This is the new default candidate. If you can beat it, beat it. In any case, new candidates for the slogan should refer to the concept of "more things, better integrated". So, sorry for the "Your way home" slogan because it goes too off the way of what we want to explain for the 2.16 release. This doesn't mean you can't work on a promotional GNOME banner, the idea is not bad and the first drafts you send are interesting, worth working. Once the concept is clear and we have a stronger slogan, let's concentrate on the design. From Pano's work I like the floating icons as shown in http://panos.solhost.org/mockups/gnome-banner-02.png . It looks a bit... conservative though. If we want to express "simply powerful" why don't having stronger differences of size (I insist: have you tried playing with oversized logos as you have never seen them in your desktop), and not any linear position. (I have just received http://www.rootshell.be/~loopback/gnomebanner/ - I'll ad some comments while Luca introduces it to the list) I like the selection of icons, they express things to any user. The grouping effect is also interesting. The problem I see is the Creative, Funny... Too many words, too many concepts for a single banner. Could be a descriptive GNOME banner, but we need something sharper for the 2.16 release. We are in the good way and only in 24h we have got very interesting stuff. If you guys can keep the collaboration I'm sure we will get a memorable splash banner. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
