More logo-like

Maemo.org isn't a company but a group of people who all contribute toward the same goal. So you don't get "machined" results. But a lot of the vibrancy comes from the non-automaton approach that is the essence of Linux and the FOSS movement.

Version with splashier colors (but any could be used). The handlettering is available as a font so that it can be used for tabs, titles and such in the wiki redesign.

When a horizontal layout is inappropriate, a square form can be used instead.

The square form with splashier colors. Favicon could use "m.o" or just "m" to remain readable, in the color scheme chosen, of course.

Custom typography. The lettering on this logo was created carefully on a grid. The color and outline are examples.

White background alternative.

Focus on wireless.

Alternative typography.

Plain, simple, limitless.

Boxed.

I like having the ".org" as a superscript—that way it's a non-integral part of the logo that could be replaced to create a logo for something besides the website.

Bitmap with negative space, wide. Big, bold, technical, with a soft edge.

Bitmap with negative space, narrow. Minimalist pixel theater.

Bitmap with negative space, narrow and inverse. Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance.

The idea: The a and e ligature formed of dots signifies that the maemo is built on the collaborate effort of the community, and the mœbius loop / strip embedded in the ligature shows that there are infinite possibilities when you work together. Update: Changed the m-s and the thickness of the dots.

Alternative version, dynamic width on the dots to give more 3d-feel.

Alternative version, solid moebius strip. Updated with some feedback from User:thiercito.

Alternative version, solid moebius strip with thicker æ.

Symbol only, to use for instance as favicon or on t-shirt print.

I hope you like this ^^.

Have fun!.

Maemo.org

Morse Code: Simple and sharp. I added the morse code version of 'maemo' at the bottom to signify a classic sense of 'communication.' Click image for a sharper version of the logo.

Zen: maemo is syllabicated and placed inside a Zen Enso symbol. Parts of 'maemo' and '.org' touch the circle. Circle is intentionally broken since "imperfection is an essential and inherent aspect of existence." Click image for a sharper version of the logo.

Syntax 1: maemo.org is represented in a Syntax diagram. It somehow shows that maemo can be open source via the '.org' or can be bypassed, maybe to signify commercial apps. Click image for a sharper version of the logo.

Syntax 2: maemo.org is represented in a Syntax diagram. A playful version to represent an infinite loop -- a never-ending maemo community discussion. Click image for a sharper version of the logo.

Sorry about the amount of gradients also using the old Color scheme

I didn't actually set off to create something that looks so much like the contacts icon. This is just what came to mind when I thought of a collaborative process and these colors are what looked best after trying many combinations.

The blue and orange were my second choice so I included them. I felt the styled "e" should stay as a nod to the past, contrasted by the sharp angled font on the word "maemo" and coming together for something similar but unlike either in the "RG" of org. Perhaps I thought about it a bit too much :)

Alternative experiment on green.

Geometric shapes that scale well and Tango colors for a robotic look.

Similar to the previous one, but with fancy gradients.

Round shapes, dark background, contrast and an old school inspiration.

Community connected

Using different icons for representation of the people (community)

3D look version

Just for fun the logo on the t-shirt. Showing different people come together for maemo :)

OK another version with the icon as a person figure now

3D look version

Full logo

Slightly simplified (maybe better)

Usage example :)

In the first version, the open community acts like a forum/shelter, lifting the maemo up.

In the second version, the open community acts like a foundation, pushing the maemo upwards. :)

keyboard letters! (the .org part could be in alternate colors - I orginally used orange to mimic the WiMax version I am so eagerly awaiting but then decided not to tie it so explicitly to that)

An OK Sign. The code is on your hands anyway... :P The OK sign is the faveicon.

Brick that glow without grads or blurs. Mind-tricky aura. :P The blue AE is the faveicon.
