Fedora business cards, take three

July 3rd, 2008

Máirín and I were talking about using the Fedora business card design, and how it should theoretically match whatever visual identity we do have right now, instead of creating a new one.

She and I agreed on this design.

What are everybody’s thoughts on this?

July 1st, 2008

Here goes the next design I came up with after all the wonderful feedback I got.

List of changes:

2. Added “fedoraproject.org” to front
3. Removed GPG key fingerprint
4. Moved Fedora logo to top and inverse on blue bar
5. Created blue bars at top and bottom
6. Removed back

Once again: all feedback is required! Please comment :)

Fedora business cards

June 30th, 2008

I decided that we need a new business card design. Our current one just isn’t cutting it. Plus, I don’t think you need to be an ambassador to be allowed to have one.

I’ve printed a sheet off and I’ve taken pictures. Here they are:

I’m going to fix the templates slightly and make them available soon, along with a Python script that’ll make it even easier to make your own.

Edit: There was a concern that allowing anyone to have a Fedora business card could cause trademark dilution. I didn’t make it clear enough that by “anyone”, I meant anyone who has cla_done in FAS.

Thanks again for all the comments. :)
