Hi
I like Bogdan's first one, and the one called Slanted-O On Wed, 2006-06-21 at 00:25 +0300, Bogdan Susala wrote: > Hi there > > In the true spirit of community work, I have prepared some variants of > the new OfBiz logo, based on the Power Tag version. > > I tried to "formalize" a little bit the feeling, using clean, serious, > corporate lines and fonts.

Appreciate the deadline just a shame we didn't get more time to open it
up as a project the designers out there could have a go at. Maybe that can be done for the website? My vote: 1) Hybrid - I don't like the font though 2) Slanted 3) To The Point 4) Power Tag Also passed it on to our designer who's initial comment was "not that keen on any!" I'll take as being upset that she didn't have a chance to contribute. When pushed though she choose: 1) Hybrid with a comment that it needs a darker colour for the font (I agree with this as the Slanted text stands out much more on the sample page) Ray David E.

Perhaps we can have another go at it when OFBiz becomes an official Apache project (fingers crossed, but things are going well so far!), and the project management may want to consider incorporating 'Apache' into the name and or logo in some way. Up to them to decide, though. -- David N.

Ok,
The verdict from our design guy is, he "prefers the old one". Hybrid is the least unpopular. It's definitely good to see an effort in this direction though. - Andrew On Wed, 2006-06-21 at 21:58 +1200, Scott Gray wrote: > Hi > > 1. Bogdan's first one > 2. Slanted-O > 3.

Hi all
Ok. If the final decision for the event was made, let me know if I can further create some identity proposals, for community approval, and if yes, please provide a deadline for that. As a designer opinion, our logo should clearly enter a new era, and, separately, same for the website design. I can be involved in this with all our resources. Just say "go".

Bogdan, we couldn't be more in tune on this as well. After the final
logo decision has been made - we are going to start putting our creative resources towards helping out with a new site design. We're looking forward to working with everyone in the community and figuring out the process by which we can all help this amazing project continue onward and upward.

Re: Dev - New Web Site (was: New OFBiz Logo!)

We might as well start discussing a new web site. So far it's pretty much the effort of an army of one, and that one would really like some help... especially now that we want to do more public marketing significantly more expertise and experience is needed! (as is demonstrated by the current site...) I may be wrong about this, but it seems the first order of business is: 1. design the flow of the site There has been some discussion about creating separate areas oriented to existing users and prospective users, and in each of those to technical and business oriented folks. The site design can be simplified and some things removed. While I still want to have information resources links, most of the docs are going to the docs.ofbiz.org site (and the eventual ASF equivalent if there ever is an official ASF Confluence server). So, I guess the first thing to discuss would be things along these lines: - list of pages to go on the site, with short description of each - header content, links for the header - footer content, links for the footer - any side bars? if so links, etc to go there Perhaps we should get an open page going on the docs.ofbiz.org wiki? -David Tim Ruppert wrote: > Bogdan, we couldn't be more in tune on this as well.

David: agree with you, I think a Wiki-page is better, productivity-wise.
Tim & others: Ok, let's start. During this summer I can be heavily involved in this project. What I & my team can provide to the project: - creative work - graphics design - template layout production for any media - slogan / copy creation & advisory [BTW, Vinay broke the ice with a good saying: "visionary technology tools for global businesses" !] - the webdesign development itself On a separate track, it would be interesting enough to develop the new website with some "static" Ajax work. I mean, not necessarily a true Ajax framework (though I strongly believe that the border between application <> webapplication <> website is now clearly obsolete, given the array of synergic technologies available). This could be a good start for us into diving in the Ajax world, to better understand & share the know-how with the Ajax Group inside OfBiz. Re: organising things 1. David could oversee the restructuring the information of the site. Since the site I think is pretty old, we may revamp the structure by dumping the unnecessary information, grouping the items etc., usability-wise. My first impression of the site was that is very technical, very "engineer". No life in it. My first to-do in this respect would be simplifying the "very" long left menu. By contrast, the sister project run by Si Chen is more usable, more clean, better to understand by anyone. Especially, the central modules-matrix, yet very simple, is making thousands words (just an example). 2. We could elect Tim as a "Graphic Identity Coordinator". But since I am new to OfBiz community, I may not know exactly the rules. Anyways, as somewhere heard - "Don't speak up a good idea if you are not ready to take responsibility for it", I am eager to take any responsibility given from you, older members of the community. As mentioned earlier, just say. Regards, Bogdan Susala [hidden email] _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/dev |

Ean, I think that this is really starting to get some momentum. David
has a new page up on the Wiki to facilitate all of the designers getting together to update the look and feel. http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz.org+New+Site+Plan I'm going to start digging into the organizational aspects so that we can have a better idea of how much info we'll be trying to cram into each page.
