Hello again,[[BR]]
due to the priority level for this ticket let my show you a first quick
mockup I made after a little bit of brainstorming.
I'm new to Fedora, in fact I just joined today. So after doing some
extensive research on the Fedora fonts, the logo guidelines as well as the
origin of the Fedora logo etc. I tried to merge your interests for Fedora
oriented versions of typical pod- & videocast icons with the philosophy of
the Fedora identiy itself.[[BR]]

Yes, there is a podcast (audio) and a videocast (video) version of the
logo/banner.
First of all I based all typo on the fonts Comfortaa and Cantarell. The
character is being developed from the Fedora logo font, regular text is
emphasized by caps, bolding and different sizing.[[BR]]
There is a basic grid underneath although nothing too exciting. However, I
did follow the spacing guidelines as mentioned in the usage guidelines.
I tried to keep Fedoras clean design approach and base my creation on
that. The Fedora colors outlined above have been used, being white, dark
blue and blue.
The emphasis on the Fedora logo type as well as the intoduction of the
buzz words pod- & videocast will hopefully let the viewer make a direct
connection with the icon.[[BR]]
I used the Fedora logo shape as the foundation as this rounded shape is
supposed to represent "Voice". I figured that this would connect nicely to
the meaning of the logo itself, thus giving the viewer an immersive
impression that the pod- & videocast is about Fedora content.
I then used a rather typical approach for the loudspeaker and the camera.
To connect to the "RSS" or "casting" theme I used iconized radio
waves.
These waves have been alligned to the outline of the shape to round out
the icon.
Overall I avoided gradients to stay compatible with the contrast and color
regulations as mentioned in the usage guidelines. The logo/banner is still
scalable. It can be decreased in size for about 50% although I'd recommend
not less than 70% for better readability. If it has to be much bigger in
size I'd probably introduce some texturing.
If you feel that you need something drastically different and that my
approach does not convey your message well I would not mind to create
another, completely different, version with gloss and gradient if needed
and if possible. In fact I'd like to play with it a bit more myself but I
want to make sure that it's actually filling your request first and that
in a timely manner. I was surprised that this ticket is open since
2009.[[BR]]
Other than that I'd be tempted to re-work and finalize these versions as
SVGs after some input within the next days and weeks, depending on your as
well as the teams overall feedback and the urgency for these buttons.
