For about a year now we have been using a temporary logo (attached).

With joomla.org.au up and running, it's high time that we had a better logo.

Some principles of the design:-

1. Must use the Joomla colours, green, orange,blue, red as in the Joomla logo (attached).
2. Must conform with Joomla requirements eg at www.joomla.org/about-joomla/the-project/...onal-use-logos.html.
3. Should convey an image of getting together and cooperating.

Does anyone have any contributions to the design principles and, even better . . .

. . . Can anyone contribute a design?

My (admittedly pathetic) idea would be a logo loosely based on the JomSocial default group avatar (attached).

Hi Pete,

Here are some mock ups.
Not fantastic, but I am a bit flat out at the moment, so cant spend too much time on it.
If anything is of interest let me know and I will do some more work on it.
I havent included the by line i.e. "melbourne joomla user group", but this can be added in.

The variations are subtle. I like the 2A most. I have also added in grey scale versions, this is handy if you are printing in black and white. The logos still work in this format.

Anyways just an idea. If anyone wants the illustrator files to change around just let me know.
If its too crappy I am happy to toss it in the bin.

cheers,

Anthony S.

I am imagining it? Has this been done before?

(Please forgive my lack of artistry!)

Version 2 rejigged and version 3.
Sorry for the last post, the images dont seem to want to upload.
Thats it for me design wise. Happy to rejig them more, but dont have more time to create new designs at the present.

trying to upload these images again.




good it worked.

Okay, there are my last versions.
I will leave it up to others to get some other different designs happening.

All the best.

So as to emphasise that skill need not be a barrier to get involved in this thread, here's another idea that combines two previous concepts. Maybe it should be rotated 45 deg.

Hi All

I would have thought the way to work this forum would have had this logo as a separate thread with a link out of notices to the logo thread/ topic------- that way the emails are reduced

thats my 2c

Ooh that's nice Ant. Like the orange one. Not that it's any of my business!

Thanks Dex.
I like minimal designs mostly.


cheers,

ant.

I like this one.. and like Dex said, not any of my business

Hi Guys

Here is an additional design option with for branding discussion. There are two options.

For what my 2 cents is worth Ants last version hits all the requirements.

Cheers

In my humble, Matthew's 2nd option is the best so far. Just a minor point - I'd centre justify it.

Thanks, Matthew!

My vote's for Matt's first design .. in fact Matt didn't you do the MJUG logo a few yrs back ?

Hi Martin

I did the Melbourne Joomla Day 2010 Website and Branding.

Just to give everyone a little bit more information on the design I created.

I felt it was important to maintain elements of the main Joomla logo. Obviously colour, but also the use of figures and the feeling of community that is portrayed in the graphic element.

I've used arrows to help represent both the Joomla community figure, but also a forward movement while enclosed within a circle which represents our group. The movement with the arrows/figures into the centre helps represent the group coming together each month. While the final element of the black circle/head represents the brains trust of the Melbourne Joomla User Group.

I hope thats not to much woffle.
