Hi!

I'm trying to become more of a contributor to the wonderful world of
FLOSS, and Fedora in particular. To that end, I've started learning how
to package fonts, but I think I can help out here a little too.

In spite of their time consumption, I enjoy trying to create animations
and visual effects, which have given me some experience in Blender, the
GIMP, and Inkscape that could be useful.

Last week I noticed the Amateur Radio SIG logo request, and worked up a
few quick variations on some ideas I had.

The feedback on the mailing list has been positive so I've claimed the
ticket.

I know the spacing is a little off, but any other criticisms/suggestions
for improvement would be appreciated.

Marc

Nice design, I like the Morse code and radio waves, it's a clear and simple idea
of what the SIG is about.

The only suggestion I would make would be to simplify the fonts, making
everything one case and the same height.

If this leaves too much space you could maybe make the radio wave ellipse longer
to the left to complensate or wider and allow the right to be cut off to convey
the power of radio to communicate over long distances, reaching beyond are
normal horizon.

Good work!

Al

Your original designs for the logo were fine, but the latest designs I
saw on Planet Fedora today
(http://9w2pju.hamradio.my/2010/08/update-fedora-amateur-radio-sig-logo.html) are problematic. You can't separate out elements of the logo like that, unfortunately, it is against our branding guidelines.

Can you update the logo to include the full logomark in the middle of
the radio waves or revert to one of the older designs?

Thanks,
