I also prefer [1] over [2], but I would like to see something better
than both...
Regarding incubation, I think it would be really easy to graduate at
this point, so lets make this a priority after 11.0 release.
Cheers,
Angelos

Re new OSGeo-Live Logo:
* I feel strongly that the OSGeo-Live logo should be derived from the
OSGeo logo, but not be the same as the OSGeo logo.
* I feel it is important to say we are proud of our OSGeo roots and
associations, but also acknowledge and celebrate our added uniqueness.
We are a family within a larger community.
* I suspect you will find all OSGeo sub-projects feel similarly, and
hence will want sub-brands.
* Hence I think [1] (proposal logo with heart) is better than [2].
* However, I think we can do better than [1]. With our shot timelines
I would reluctantly accept [1] for next release, with intent to
revisit later.
I'd be interested to see if Brian Hamlin puts something together. He
has an artistic flair and I've really liked artwork he has created
for prior OSGeo-Live releases.
Re OSGeo Incubation:
* I've answered on the incubation list, but in short, I suggest we
revisit the question after OSGeo-Live 11.0 release.

Okay reporting back with ... a conversation. The graphics designer is
now off on holiday (actually honeymoon) but we got a lot done in the
last two weeks since I have spoken with you. The priority was
obviously the website and stuff for printing.
For my last updated I tried to adapt the new branding elements and
keep the heart shape:

I did however manage to force the issue of subbrands; but doing up
printing materials including the geoforall and osgeo-live logo. You
can check the meeting notes for the result ....
o Review of OSGeo Live branding history

Discussion on relationship between projects and osgeo

We have an answer about “Live” - it is a live
demonstration of software, rather than a static demo.

We have a strong relationship and we could ask OSGeo Live
to use the OSGeo logo unaltered, however that does not
answer the general problem (of how to work with sub brands)
You may remember me asking what 'live" was meaning for osgeo live,
judging from early art assets in github (the svn banner had hidden
early prototypes of the logo). The thinking was "pulse" with hearts
and heart rate monitors tracking which projects were actually alive.
The other meaning I could come up with was a live demo, rather than a
static demo.
Both Marc (strong marketing background) and the graphics designer
(really proud of the new logo and visuals). They wanted to ask if
OSGeo Live would be willing to use the following:
[2] https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B08AjQ2hqLipZjJsSG12a19HcWM
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B08AjQ2hqLipZjJsSG12a19HcWM>
This is an interesting tradeoff:
- because no other software project is being asked to update their
logo (only include an OSGeo project logo on their website).
- the tight relationship with OSGeo foundation is causing this
request, so a mark at how central osgeo-live is to our foundation
- I will support whatever direction the project chooses to take
(hesitate to offer my own opinion since I can see advantages both ways).
I have also had this question come up recently - why is OSGeo-Live
not an OSGeo project. The answer is simply that you have not asked
and acquired a mentor.
- You are of course welcome to apply as an OSGeo Community project
(and get approval right away - summer voting habits permitting)
- Entering incubation can also be done, but we need to line up a
mentor first.

Wanted to provide a small update, I got some public and private
feedback on the branding which I took into this weeks meeting.
Many of the direct "osgeo foundation" activities just use the
normal OSGeo Mark, we have the examples of "OSGeo Project", "OSGeo
Community" as used by projects ready to go.
A few sub brands (GeoForAll, OSGeo Live, local chapters) are
expected to work with the design elements and create their own
mark. We have asked the designer to use OSGeo Live as an example,
this was the best I could do without stepping out of contract :)
I checked the EOI and we have not paid for a sphinx theme. We will
have to wait for the website to take shape and adapt later in the
year. Colors, logos and fonts we can do earlier.
