What about keeping the colour scheme, but using one of the logos…

exempli gratia (keeping in mind my horrible, horrible photoshop skills):

Logo 1 is also rather reminiscent of http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?p=419, though…

I like Logo 1 best, but agree with the others about the colour– there are too many other ‘blue’ companies, logos and distros out there.

Heh, not sure how I missed that link.

Anyways, the one with all the bubbles is my favourite of the bunch ( I agree with Arthur about the Ubuntu looking people one ), but again… colour scheme.

And maybe if the bubbles were rearranged a little bit to look more like a thought bubble ( not exactly a thought bubble, but slightly more suggestive of it than just the mess of bubbles that are there )

Of the three, I prefer the S thing shown above, but only in as much as it reminds me the Solaris ‘S’ thing which I think is superb. I hate the other two on the examples, they’re just extremely generic and look like clipart.

The blue one is the nicest looking of the three, except for that blurry highlight at the upper edge - but it just has nothing to do with Solaris in any way -> bad.

The one with the small people looks like a Ubuntu inspired design, i dont like it at all - especially the colors are ugly. The third one makes no sense at all and still has the ugly colors.

An additional small Logo as an adition to the full-text Name would be nice. Color wise i’d prefer the orange/blue theme. The style & font of the text should stay as they are …

JohnS: Make sure you check out the other designs, http://www.gnome.org/~gman/opensolaris-logos/logos.html

We could just pick a logo from one of the existing UGs.. I’m sure they’d be ok with.
For instance, here’s our dog http://opensolaris.org/os/project/poaosug/logo-poaosug.jpg ,
and Bangalore’s lion http://opensolaris.org/os/project/bosug/bosug.small.png

I kinna like the logo, except that I still am a fan of the Sun-Open-source orange & blue ( openjdk, opensparc, opensolaris colour scheme )
