=== Echo Icons ===
=== More Echo Icons ===


This week the Echo icon theme [1] development was considerable, with new images [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] created and improved in a collaborative way on the Fedora Art mailing list, mostly as work made by Luya Tshimbalanga with feed-back from Martin Sourada.
This week the focus on the Fedora Art list was development for the Echo Icon theme [1] with new icons created by Martin Sourada and Luya Tshimbalanga.


In addition to creating icons, Luya came with with a logo proposal for the icon set [6] in an "identity search", whcih with input from Martin and Nicu Buculei evolved in the same collaborative way, in a good looking logo [7].
Martin also started a debate [2] about the best shape for icons for package install and update [3]: using or not a pagage visual, using an optical disc or just arrow and various kind of colors.

An interesting touch made by Luya was noticed [4]: use a sketch of the release wallpaper in the icons showing a computer display, however, this would require [5] refreshing a number of icons twice a year and may not be that useful for other distros shipping the theme.

Starting with a rude complaint [6] form another contributor, Mark, about some icons which supposedly "have that shit color", Marin proposed [7] a color change in the default palette [8] and after a favourable reaction in even got into use.

=== Artwork for Kids ===


On the Fedora Art list Arnav Kalra offers his contribution [1] for a Fedora spin for kids. He is joined [2] by Sebastian Dziallas who works on the Education SIG [3], the most appropriate consumer for this kind of graphics.

The discussion then goes into specific pieces, namely website banner and desktop wallpaper, Mairin Duffy wonders [5] about the license of the Firefox cartoon and the possibility to use it and Nicu Buculei points [6] to the incompatibility "it is licensed under a CC-NC (non-commercial) licensee, making it unusable by us".

More Echo Icons

This week the focus on the Fedora Art list was development for the Echo Icon theme [1] with new icons created by Martin Sourada and Luya Tshimbalanga.

Martin also started a debate [2] about the best shape for icons for package install and update [3]: using or not a pagage visual, using an optical disc or just arrow and various kind of colors.

An interesting touch made by Luya was noticed [4]: use a sketch of the release wallpaper in the icons showing a computer display, however, this would require [5] refreshing a number of icons twice a year and may not be that useful for other distros shipping the theme.

Starting with a rude complaint [6] form another contributor, Mark, about some icons which supposedly "have that shit color", Marin proposed [7] a color change in the default palette [8] and after a favourable reaction in even got into use.
