Wells" To: FreeBSD-advocacy Subject: Status of Branding Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG It seems the branding discussion was getting settled when the Halloween thingy struck. I guess I will have to see what all the ruckus is about. As I lurked from afar I saw TWO brands develop: "Works with" and "Designed for". I proposed several different names but that thread died an early death. Subliminal Hint: I like "100% FreeBSD Compatible" for the top honor. It is very assertive. I like "Works with FreeBSD" as it means what it says. I also saw some discussion about "up and coming" software distinction to be provided on a local level but not distributed to the world at large. What became of this? Have the names been set? If not, then let's pick them. Has anyone committed to committing our current _plan_ into a less morphable HTML format? I could do that this weekend if no one else has stepped up. The one thing I can actually do is write. :) I did read just about everything that came out of that thread so I think I could meld all of the ideas forwarded into a reasonably close document. Do we have an artist working on logo's yet? Have we seen any nice logo's yet? Eventually, we have to move from pure brainstorming to Rev. 1.
