<center><big>'''Logo Design Concepts and Direction'''</big></center>
# Clean and simple preferred over complex.
# Logo is to represent a linux server system that is simple to manage yet powerful and scalable.
# Try to capture the essence of the name of our project, Koozali, which means re-birth or re-born (not critical).
# 1-3 colors; - try to avoid gradient shading - 2 is better than 3 for monchrome conversion. Would favor a logo where we could change the color depending on the version of the software we release: For example one color for the free version and another color for the professional version, etc.
# Try to make it look good in both monochrome and color; be wary of when it is produced on differing backgrounds - some designs are odd when changing background from light to dark.
# Looks good when scaling (small and large sizes); Best to keep vaguely within a square or circle -- neither too wide or too high.
# Look at examples of our competition to get an idea of the direction we want to go with the project logo, but don’t necessarily emulate:
#: * ClearOS: http://www.clearfoundation.com/Software/overview.html
#: * Zentyal: http://www.zentyal.com/
# K.I.S.S ;-)
# Fonts ??? Something easily available / open source - possibly one main, and a sub font.
# If fonts are part of the logo, would be nice to have the ability to separate the two for flexibility.
# Simple style guide we can all use/adhere to - colour refs for CMYK/Pantone/web etc.
# List of words to sum up Koozali SME Server:
#* Linux
#* Server
#* Easy
#* Simple
#* Powerful
#* Manageable
#* Small
#* Medium
#* Enterprise
#* Scalable
#* Secure
#* Flexible
#* You could also add double or triples
#** Easy but Powerful
#** Small and Medium
#** Linux Server
#** Powerful but Manageable
#** Simple and Scalable
