Obsolete ideas
These ideas came out of the original "Greek landscape" artwork. Some are still viable but most of these do not follow the ground rules.
Slogan | Submitter | Notes or reasoning |
---|---|---|
"Rev the Revolution" | coolg5 | With a whole slew of wide changes in the release, the slogan seems apt. |
"Features Reloaded" | RangeenBasuRoyChowdhury | Just like the Matrix Reloaded. Sounds really catchy. Though I am not sure whether we can use the idea as Matrix Reloaded must be patented |

We Fedora folks are also community oriented and freedom combined. The first slogin emphasizes the community aspect a bit more. The second slogan is because of the enormous amount of new features in Fedora |
"Freedom, come and take it." | Pierros Papadeas | "Come and take them" is a famous spartan saying, combined with one of the 4F. Also "Come and take it" should be considered as an viable alternative. |
"Picture perfect." | Ian Weller | haha you think I have reason. ;) Mostly inspired just from the F11 artwork that's being worked on. |
"Freedom and Power" | Ben Lambrechts | Maybe it is better the other way: Power and freedom. |
"Freedom Akademia" | Ewan Luca | Plato's Akademia was a place for informal meetings of free thinkers witch became, by the power of knowledge, a well known and respected institution. Now, an academy holds the pinnacle of achievement in the respective field(s). If the slogan need a verb could be "Grow with Freedom Akademia", "Succeed in Freedom Akademia", "Get endowed by ...", "Empower yourself in ..." - many of the attendants of Plato's Akademia went on to became politicians and leaders using skills and tools acquired there (rethorics, logic, etc) |
"Come get some" | moixs | Ok, this is a reference to Duke Nukem 3D, could be from the movie 300 too. This could also mean come get some Fedora DVDs, this tasty software :) |
"All Paths lead to Fedora" | Binod Chandran | Modified from "All Roads lead to Rome".Changed "roads" to "paths" to relate with web paths |
"A Tradition of Freedom" alternate: "Keep the tradition of Freedom" (or "a tradition") | Nicu Buculei | We are going with some traditional Ancient Greek cultural symbols, Greece was known for its democratic/freedom roots, we have at Fedora a tradition of Freedom. |
"Goes to 11" / "Turn it up to 11." | Michael DeHaan | Spinal Tap. Enough said. Pretend it is about our Feature Knob. We should make a nice graphic for this with the knob of a Marshall-esque amplifier turned to 11 with a Fedora logo on it. electric knobs (cc-by-sa) |
"Fedora 11 : Freedom from heaven." | Kostas Antonakoglou | Well, eleven rhymes with heaven. Also, it is inspired from the theme (green field etc). My suggestion is an example, it could be expressed in many ways... |
"Freedom continues." | Michelle Thompson | Freedom continues over time (comparing ancient times to now), and freedom is one of the key words, and I can imagine that the artwork symbolizes both freedom (open spaces, etc.) and continues (the mountains, sky, etc. don't just end after the artwork; they themselves continue).

Old themes
- If the Greek temple stays in the background, note that it provides some thematic element:
- Greece was the birthplace of democracy.
- Philosophers, great thinkers
- Platonic forms? Socratic dialogue? Euclidean geometry?
- Landscape
- Mountains
- Wide open sky
- Birds -- The birds may disappear, don't rely on them.
