Does the Artwork team think, overall, that using a blue palette for our
desktop theme (background) helps Fedora with its identity and branding?
Do you want to continue that for Fedora 10?

We have a few theme proposals that use blue predominantly along with
some other color.
There is no way we can not continue using blue, in my opinion. But
adding a bit of other color doesn't hurt, IMHO.

In my opinion Blue has become part of the Fedora identity, from the Logo
to the desktop themes and defaults. Sure some other colors blended in
with it are welcome, but I do believe that Blue now has an identity to
Fedora as much as red did for Red Hat back in the day (I mean in the
days of Red Hat Linux as the free version of Red Hat).

As a user I would love to see us break free of the blue prison, it looks dated and should be put down with all manners of mercy possible. I think it hurts us to stick with the blue theme and unlike other competing distros not work towards a unified look over several cycles. Getting a more integrated artwork effort, making sure we get a good vision of where we want to go and working with our programmers to bring the required technology onboard over say 4 releases, making sure our icons, backgrounds and theme look like a whole.

I agree with Gian Mureddu when I think Fedora I remember the Blue as its main characteristic. Just as he said redhat = red and I myself link Orange with Ubuntu. imo color choice is part of branding getting rid of blue in its entirety would be a bad move, however I agree with other statements made about adding more color. Just trying to give input I am a novice at best with art design.

IMHO, definitely blue it's the Fedora's color. I guess that others colors could be used, but alway the blue must to predominate, unless we want change it, however I give a -1 for this changing.

I remember that once, someone propose to use a little of yellow... I think this could be a great colour to use with our blue palette....
What about the mascot issue?? we could start to join the new colour to users with something to associate it. (mascot, wallpaper, banners...) just like happened with F9 brown banner.

If anyone would like to have the mascot discussion again, please use
another thread, this one is taken! :-D Seriously, let's just keep this
discussion focused on the one issue -- the blue palette.
In my opinion Blue has become part of the Fedora identity, from the
Logo to the desktop themes and defaults. Sure some other colors
blended in with it are welcome, but I do believe that Blue now has an
identity to Fedora as much as red did for Red Hat back in the day (I
mean in the days of Red Hat Linux as the free version of Red Hat).
Blue = Fedora. Mix in some other stuff as appropriate, but I believe
that Blue is now "our" color. We shouldn't give that up. Ubuntu has
brown, OpenSuse has green. Red Hat has red. We have blue.
Personally, I like that we maintain that general blue-ish feel. Play
with the shades if you like, mix in some spice and variety if you like,
but I think Fedora should always be identifiable with the color blue.
Just my $.02,
Max
