Less is More concept of the maemo.org logo. By adapting the letter "a" into the "e" we are suggesting the versatility and adaptiveness of the maemo platform

Some thoughts behind the design posted at Internet Tablet Talk. The "M" in the first logo, the "g" in the latter can be tweaked to satisfy everyone. Enjoy! Roger

Re-using Karoliina's original color scheme	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.
Boxed alternative.	Alternative to a previously removed image (due to a resemblance to another company's logo. More info in the Discussion.)
Modern typeface with alternate underlines.

Bitmap with negative space, narrow. Minimalist pixel theater.

Variations on a theme, using different fonts. The "ae" in "maemo" seems to stand out, so I wanted to incorporate that into the design. I also wanted to incorporate something about what the platform is, hence the globe and wifi signal bars. These logos can be used with the full "maemo.org" spelled out, or just the globe and "ae" portion for when something narrower is needed. In the variations you can see what the logo looks like in monochrome, and how it looks as a 16x16 favicon. This logo uses only four colors (blue, green, orange, and black) with no gradients or dithering, which makes it easy to silk-screen onto a t-shirt.

jussi

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.	T-shirt examples

I hope you like this ^^.

Helvetica is used on all logos, my favorite font. All logos use orange-red as the background but can be anything. I hope you enjoy them. --Reggie 13:45, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

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

furrball

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 :)

Geometric shapes that scale well and Tango colors for a robotic look.	Similar to the previous one, but with fancy gradients.
A geometric and old school look.	Some gradients and reflections for the web.

Hello. I had some troubles with "Maemo.org" name so I used "Maemo-org" instead. Sorry for that.
Logo symbolizes I think all of the community aspects. A not childish but not too old (as our community is) human (as a main part of the community) spread his hands to all the people (we are welcome to everyone) and same time he breaks the borders and reaches the outer perspectives (same thing that we do in our open source world without any limitations) By the way "open source" is nicely integrated here too. His head shines bright with ideas in all ways like the sun. And if you'll place two logos near, people will look like they shaking hands. Logo can be anycoloured, but I prefer blue cause it's very calm for website design :) Whew, I'm done :)

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. :)

Really appreciated. Pruning is a well known method to get better flowers and fruits.--qgil 15:41, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Submission #1g - The word intertwines to form a symbol of the path (and process) that our community travels.	Submission #1f (favicon)
Submission #9b - Think of it this way: "Maemo Period."	Submission #9b (favicon)
Submission #8 - A simplified tablet containing a hand-drawn (finger-drawn?) phrase.	Submission #8 (favicon) - Likewise, the "m" within the tablet looks like a flying bird.

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.

7: Small versions of 1, 2, 3 (for stickers, pins, etc.)	8: Small versions of 4, 5, 6	9: Alternative small versions

Two versions of each image were submitted in case there was an issue using the Nokia stylus in the logo. I substituted a generic stylus into the second image. Hopefully this wont cause any complications. :) *I have the images available without gradients as well, if that becomes an issue.

The ideas is cool and personaly I like the little man drawing. However, an issue to consider here is that Maemo-the-software is moving towards thumb/finger use as default, being a stylus a secondary case. In my opinion this concept wouldn't survive the next Maemo releases...--qgil 06:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

The person drawing the Maemo.org logo shows that members of the community can make contributions to Maemo. M can be used as a favicon.	With generic stylus.
Emphasizes the use of a stylus in Maemo linux. The touchscreen feature is the most important feature to me.	With generic stylus.
This is a variation of entries 3 and 4. It's a bit more complex, but I think it looks nicer. If the judges are leaning towards a simpler look to the logo, then 3 or 4 would be better.	With generic stylus.

This is a possible favicon for entries 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The purpose was to emphasize strong and happy colors and humane factors. Bright color was selected to gain more visibility, and orange contains legacy from maemo perspective. Fingerprint is driven by the presence of touch, as well as the font face which looks like that it is hand drawn. Tried to remove everything that can be considered "technical".

Maemo.org This name and logo is created keeping in the mind that now maemo can handles more and more complex apllcation and processes, e of maemo articulates that complexity of it and the integrity amoung the cmmunity and developer with fresh illusive look. I hope you will like it.
