Hi,
With my design team hat on, I have been working on finalizing the
branding
and logos for each of the products, and thought that because we are the only
product that is using the login screen, that to reinforce that to the
user that
it is fedora workstation that is being used, the plain "Fedora" logo on
the GDM
screen should be replaced with the Fedora Workstation branding.
here is a mockup of how this possibly would look with the greyscale
version of the
fedora workstation logo:
https://ryanlerch.fedorapeople.org/workstation-gdm-mockup.jpg I actually like the
look of this a lot better than the fedora logo.
a couple of things i've noticed:
1) fedora text is too small and thin compared to other text on the screen (already brought
up in this thread)
2) Visually, the logo looks slightly lopped to the right. I think this is partly because
it's
not completely centered (maybe because the image has asymmetric padding in it? didn't
check), but also i think
it's a "weight" issue. The text is significantly brighter than the emblem so
my eye kind of ignores the logo when
looking at how it aligned to the to the user list center-line. One idea would be to
brighten the emblem so my
eye more explicitly groups the emblem and the text, the other idea would be
center based on the text only, and left align the emblem to the centered text. The latter
is harder to implement,
and might look lopsided the other direction, not sure.
