= Call for PSF Logos =

== Intro ==

''This is an intro adapted from the initial email sent to the members list and the follow-ups to the email.''

Dear members,

the board is looking for volunteers to draw up logos that we would
like to make available to supporters and members of the PSF.

If anyone feels inspired, please step forward :-)

Here's the list of logos we'd need from the lowest support level 
to the highest:

 * Supporter of the Python Software Foundation
 * Honorary Associate Member of the Python Software Foundation (HAMs)

 * Sponsor Member of the Python Software Foundation
 * Principal Sponsor of the Python Software Foundation
 * Patron Sponsor of the Python Software Foundation
 * Benefactor Sponsor of the Python Software Foundation

 * Member of the Python Software Foundation

We also need a logo for the PSF itself:

 * Python Software Foundation

For Python 2 and 3 marketing, logos to identify whether a software
works with one or both of these version would be great as well:

 * Supports Python 2
 * Supports Python 2 and 3
 * Supports Python 3

I also think we should consider creating a logo for Python 3,
that doesn't use the Flux Regular digit 3 (which looks a bit
strange):

 * Python 3 logo

Ideally, all these logos should be provided in both a wide and tall
variant (like the "Python powered" logos we have on the website):

http://www.python.org/community/logos/

Another often requested logo use is that of an icon for mobile
phone apps. Ideally, we should have a standard for these, e.g.
a square format version with one line of text below the Python
logo:

 * standard Python logo for (mobile) apps

Since we (the trademark committee) often get requests for use
of modified logos for black or dark backgrounds, it would be great
if we could have the logos for dark backgrounds as well,
including a variant of the standard Python logo with dark
background:

 * standard Python logo with dark background

To summarize the variants:

 * logo on white background
 * logo on dark background
 * logo using a wide format
 * logo using a tall format

Submissions would have to be licensed to the PSF with option to
relicense, i.e. basically the submitters would have to sign a
contributor agreement. There may be additional legal requirement
- we'd have to check with Van about these.

Quite a list indeed, but that's what's needed if the logos are
to be used widely and matches the logo pages of other projects
such as Mozilla or Plone:

http://plone.org/foundation/logo

If you need the font files, we can send them to you for the purpose
of using them in the logo.

Thanks,

John Pinner has received these from Stephen. here is the general idea:

"""
The community is made up of its component members (from what I can remember from EuroPython) so we've taken that concept and visualised it to form the badges.

We wanted to convey the different levels of membership, with each feeling equally pythonic.

To that end we've come up with a rather simple mark for the PSF main logo. simple typography with the introduction of the community grid symbol to the right.

Members would be represented with different variations with more or less of the pythons being visible. (The PSF logo could be animated as a sequence of these levels finishing with a fade to the blue grid.) We've laid out sample badges, with vertical and horizontal variations.

We have a ton of design rationalisation info on how we arrived at this concept, but often it's best to let the work speak for itself.
