<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/fedora-logo-redesign.png" width="1958" height="1116" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>The current Fedora Logo has been used by Fedora and the Fedora Community since 2005. However, over the past few months, <a href="https://blog.linuxgrrl.com/">Máirín Duffy </a>and the <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design">Fedora Design team</a>, along with the wider Fedora community have been working on redesigning the Fedora logo.</p>
<p> <span id="more-25014"></span> </p>
<p>Far from being just an arbitrary logo change, this process is being undertaken to solve a number of issues encountered with the current logo. Some of the issues with the current logo include the lack of a single colour variant, and, consequently the logo not working well on dark backgrounds. Other challenges with the current logo is confusion with other well-known brands, and the use of a proprietary font.</p>
<h3>The new Fedora Logo design process</h3>
<p>Last month, <a href="https://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2019/01/09/which-new-fedora-logo-design-do-you-prefer/">Máirín posted an amazing article</a> about the history of the Fedora logo, a detailed analysis of the challenges with the current logo, and a proposal of two candidates. A wide ranging discussion with the Fedora community followed, <a href="https://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2019/01/09/which-new-fedora-logo-design-do-you-prefer/#comment-8113">including input from Matt Muñoz</a>, the designer of the current Fedora logo. After the discussions, the following candidate was chosen for further iteration:</p>

<p>In a <a href="https://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2019/02/06/fedora-logo-redesign-update/">follow-up post this week</a>, Máirín summarizes the discussions and critiques that took place around the initial proposal, and details the iterations that took place as a result.</p>
<p>After all the discussions and iterations, the following 3 candidates are where the team is currently at:</p>
