Some thoughts behind the design posted at Internet Tablet Talk. The "M" in the first logo, the "g" in the latter can be tweaked to satisfy everyone. Enjoy! Roger
 Re-using Karoliina's original color scheme |
 More logo-like |
 Maemo.org isn't a company but a group of people who all contribute toward the same goal. So you don't get "machined" results. But a lot of the vibrancy comes from the non-automaton approach that is the essence of Linux and the FOSS movement. |
 Version with splashier colors (but any could be used). The handlettering is available as a font so that it can be used for tabs, titles and such in the wiki redesign. |
 When a horizontal layout is inappropriate, a square form can be used instead. |
 The square form with splashier colors. Favicon could use "m.o" or just "m" to remain readable, in the color scheme chosen, of course. |

Variations on a theme, using different fonts. The "ae" in "maemo" seems to stand out, so I wanted to incorporate that into the design. I also wanted to incorporate something about what the platform is, hence the globe and wifi signal bars. These logos can be used with the full "maemo.org" spelled out, or just the globe and "ae" portion for when something narrower is needed. In the variations you can see what the logo looks like in monochrome, and how it looks as a 16x16 favicon. This logo uses only four colors (blue, green, orange, and black) with no gradients or dithering, which makes it easy to silk-screen onto a t-shirt.

The basic idea: The dots represent the many parts which make up the community, and together they form the ae-ligature and a moebius strip, to signify the infinite possibilities of collaboration.
I started over a little. After coming back a while later and looking at my submissions, this is what I thought.
- After looking at it again; I felt like the ae-ligature didn't really work as it was. It is not 100% clear, and it doesn't work nicely with the typography; and I don't think it will in the current dot format.
- I still liked the moebius strip formed of dots, though, which I think is a strong idea which works really well in this context, so I decided to keep it.
- I wanted the logo to be "nicer", friendlier, more organic. That is more what a community is like, not something digital, gridded and rough.
- This also applied to the colours. A cooler, smoother colour would be better than an agressive orange.
- The typography was changed to one that has a little more character.

Helvetica is used on all logos, my favorite font. All logos use orange-red as the background but can be anything. I hope you enjoy them. --Reggie 13:45, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 Morse Code: Simple and sharp. I added the morse code version of 'maemo' at the bottom to signify a classic sense of 'communication.' Click image for a sharper version of the logo. |
 Zen: maemo is syllabicated and placed inside a Zen Enso symbol. Parts of 'maemo' and '.org' touch the circle. Circle is intentionally broken since "imperfection is an essential and inherent aspect of existence." Click image for a sharper version of the logo. |
 Syntax 1: maemo.org is represented in a Syntax diagram. It somehow shows that maemo can be open source via the '.org' or can be bypassed, maybe to signify commercial apps. Click image for a sharper version of the logo. |
 Syntax 2: maemo.org is represented in a Syntax diagram. A playful version to represent an infinite loop -- a never-ending maemo community discussion. Click image for a sharper version of the logo. |

 Sorry about the amount of gradients also using the old Color scheme |
furrball
 I didn't actually set off to create something that looks so much like the contacts icon. This is just what came to mind when I thought of a collaborative process and these colors are what looked best after trying many combinations. |
 The blue and orange were my second choice so I included them. I felt the styled "e" should stay as a nod to the past, contrasted by the sharp angled font on the word "maemo" and coming together for something similar but unlike either in the "RG" of org. Perhaps I thought about it a bit too much :) |

Hello. I had some troubles with "Maemo.org" name so I used "Maemo-org" instead. Sorry for that.
Logo symbolizes I think all of the community aspects. A not childish but not too old (as our community is) human (as a main part of the community) spread his hands to all the people (we are welcome to everyone) and same time he breaks the borders and reaches the outer perspectives (same thing that we do in our open source world without any limitations) By the way "open source" is nicely integrated here too. His head shines bright with ideas in all ways like the sun. And if you'll place two logos near, people will look like they shaking hands. Logo can be anycoloured, but I prefer blue cause it's very calm for website design :) Whew, I'm done :)
 Full logo |
 Slightly simplified (maybe better) |
 Usage example :) |
 Slightly improved logo, now Maemo Guy is looking forward into the future. I've removed visual division between maemo and org because community is in close touch with platform. Some fancy senseless gradient also added :) |
 Minimalistic style. This looks like mathematic function that represents unity of Maemo platform and Maemo Community. Some "wireless smell" also added :) |

 In the first version, the open community acts like a forum/shelter, lifting the maemo up. |
 In the second version, the open community acts like a foundation, pushing the maemo upwards. :) |

 Submission #1g - The word intertwines to form a symbol of the path (and process) that our community travels. |
 Submission #9b - Think of it this way: "Maemo Period." |

 keyboard letters! (the .org part could be in alternate colors - I orginally used orange to mimic the WiMax version I am so eagerly awaiting but then decided not to tie it so explicitly to that) |

 5: Same theme as 2 but green |
 6: Same theme as 5 but with bold "ae" |
 7: Small versions of 1, 2, 3 (for stickers, pins, etc.) |
 8: Small versions of 4, 5, 6 |
 9: Alternative small versions |

Two versions of each image were submitted in case there was an issue using the Nokia stylus in the logo. I substituted a generic stylus into the second image. Hopefully this wont cause any complications. :) *I have the images available without gradients as well, if that becomes an issue.
- The ideas is cool and personaly I like the little man drawing. However, an issue to consider here is that Maemo-the-software is moving towards thumb/finger use as default, being a stylus a secondary case. In my opinion this concept wouldn't survive the next Maemo releases...--qgil 06:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 The person drawing the Maemo.org logo shows that members of the community can make contributions to Maemo. M can be used as a favicon. |
 With generic stylus. |
 Emphasizes the use of a stylus in Maemo linux. The touchscreen feature is the most important feature to me. |
 With generic stylus. |
 This is a variation of entries 3 and 4. It's a bit more complex, but I think it looks nicer. If the judges are leaning towards a simpler look to the logo, then 3 or 4 would be better. |
 With generic stylus. |
This is a possible favicon for entries 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The purpose was to emphasize strong and happy colors and humane factors. Bright color was selected to gain more visibility, and orange contains legacy from maemo perspective. Fingerprint is driven by the presence of touch, as well as the font face which looks like that it is hand drawn. Tried to remove everything that can be considered "technical".

This logo focus on transmitting two of the key concepts of maemo.org: team work and freedom. To illustrate these ideas the typography was drawn with characters that varies on rotation and size but at the same time supersedes it other and sharing the same place. --Abraão Affonso @ OpenBossa Design Team (http://www.openbossa.org)

This logo aims to highlight though simple forms the most important characteristics of Maemo.org like the sense of community and spirit of innovation. It also transmits the feeling of continuity, one of the keys to open source success, by using a custom font that mimics the word "maemo" as it would like if written with a single stroke. --Abraão Affonso @ OpenBossa Design Team (http://www.openbossa.org)

This logo emphasizes some of the principals aspects and objectives of the maemo community like sharing/reuse, technology and improvement. It transmits a solid aspect and at the same time illustrates something flexible with parts that can be easily rearranged. Its unique and simple typography aims to look clear in different sizes and resolutions and has also a hidden catch to make "maemo.org" easy to remember, representing some of the fun and joy of being part of this community. --Miguel Peres @ OpenBossa Design Team (http://www.openbossa.org)

 The ae feature symbolizes the interaction of people within the community. The hand has many meanings in this context, the most important being that Maemo is used in hand-held devices, the 'hand-work' of the community and the outreach to future contributors (its a high-five, isn't it... or some sort of greating). |

 Pure typographic submission — avoiding trendy style —; the middle 'm' stem as stylus; strong visual impact; good readability at small sizes. Just one color/ink. Original color and variation. |
 Update: 'maemo' logos without the '.org', and the t-shirt and screen applications deleted. Just symbol, logo and favicon |

 This peculiar design may not seem creative, but hope to add some meaning to maemo. The m2o icon is a isolation of three letters in maemo “mmo” (the number 2 representing two m’s) which stands for maemo | mobile | open source. I know this is debatable and probably will not be used. But hope to spark interest of what maemo is. |
