Logo
●
Sharing logo with SUSE is not a great way
for openSUSE to stand out (let’s ignore the
name topic for now)
●
I can’t modify the logo on Wikipedia page,
which has white background in the eye, so
let’s change the entire logo for this reason

Distribution logos
●
Don’t fit too well next to each other, look at
main site and software-o-o
●
Are in wildly different visual styles
●
Tumbleweed in particular doesn’t fit basic
shapes (like circle and square) without being
too small

Colours
●
openSUSE Green and Cyan are not great
background colours for white text (2.39 and 2.41
contrast ratios respectively)
●
Distribution logos shouldn’t have the same colour
as the main logo, it would indicate default (looking
at you Leap)
●
Very limited palette

Feedback and suggestions wanted in
branding repo issue #93

Branding too modern
●
openSUSE branding that was universally
liked was focused around nature
●
Recent branding started including
architecture and human made objects like
lightbulbs
Slide 14

Merchandise
●
Current designs focus mainly around the
logo
●
Nothing particularly stylish, that could be
a daily wear outside of being an ad

Software usability discussions
●
YaST needs some serious help
●
Installation is not that clear
●
Partitioner is in a sorrow state

This starts off tough

So let’s not start here
Community consists of people that know
what they want, let’s mock everything up,
decide what widgets we need and then
start implementing stuff properly when
we know what and where we need stuff
exactly

Issues with the second view
●
Duplication of and differences in
information between main page and wikis
●
Very limited subset of projects openSUSE
actively maintains
Slide 25

Let’s do news
It’s a good addition to the site, makes it
way more informative about current state
of the openSUSE Project
Slide 26

Expanding the ideas

●
More focus on developed projects
●
More mores
Slide 27

explained, there are no screenshots, no
descriptions, nothing
