Το λογότυπο του Fedora

These logos are used for many purposes across many different designs, including software applications, web sites, T-shirts, event booth tablecloths and banners, and other printed material.

While it may seem as if your change to the logo is minor, the impact of such changes is much more widespread than you might initially think. We seek to have a consistent and recognizable logo that is taken seriously in order to help us fulfil Fedora’s mission of leading the advancement of free and open source software and content.

Fedora Remix

In order to protect and grow the Fedora brand, we have a distinguishable Fedora Remix design that can be used without permission to mark content that is derived in part from Fedora. There are guidelines for the design’s appearance and usage, outlined here.

These templates help bring unity across the expanse of the project between different applications on our infrastructure and between different groups within the project.

If you require a logo for your application or group, please log a ticket on the Design team’s GitLab.

Don’t search for the logos on a search engine and use whatever you find there. There are many unofficial variations on the Fedora logos that are not authorized, are unofficial, and do not respect these guidelines. Please do not use them or spread them further!

Here are some guidelines you should avoid if you would like to use some of our logos:

Do not adjust any of the logos Do not adjust any of the logos

Do not switch the colors Do not switch the colors

Do not use the logo on a similarly-colored backgrounds Do not use the logo on a similarly-colored backgrounds

Do not rearrange elements of the logo Do not rearrange elements of the logo

Do not stray from the color palette Do not stray from the color palette

Do not stretch or distort the logo Do not stretch or distort the logo

Χρώματα

We keep a single color palette to keep our artwork consistent, whether it is different Fedora materials, Fedora materials on screen, on the web, or on printed materials. Past mistakes have included Fedora DVDs coming out purple (true story!) so please pay attention to these colors, and please always use CMYK colors for professionally-printed collateral and objects such as printed banners, T-shirts, hats, and stickers. Otherwise, your design may well come out purple instead of blue!

Τυπογραφία

We recommend the following complementary fonts to use along with the logos. Both recommended fonts are openly licensed and freely distributable.

We recommend using Open Sans as a body text / copy font. It comes in a wide range of weights.

We recommend using Montserrat as a titling / headline font. Montserrat is also used in the Fedora Editions logos.

Χαρακτήρες

Most of these characters were created as part of the Fedora Characters Revamp Project. These mascots can be used in different projects.

Θα σας παρουσιάσουμε τους χαρακτήρες Badger, Beefy, Panda και Colúr, την ιστορία τους στην κοινότητα του Fedora, καθώς και το τμήμα στο οποίο ανήκουν.

Panda

Panda is a happy go-lucky panda with glowing ears and a glowing nuclear symbol on her stomach and was originally created as a helper. You were able to find her on on the 404 and 500 pages and also was in the Fedora Docs pointing out tips and tricks. Panda is female and is a general mascot for the Fedora community. In 2021, intern Lauryn Dake redesigned the Panda during the Fedora Character Revamp Project.

Badger

Badger is the Fedora Badges mascot and has been featured on a lot of different badges throughout the years. Badger was fist inspired by a popular early 2000’s internet meme involving badgers and snakes. Badger is non-binary. In 2021, intern Lauryn Dake brought them to life by creating a new style for the Badger to fit in to the Fedora style.

Beefy

Beefy is a general mascot for the Fedora Community. He was the release name for Fedora 17 and has been a popular character even before Fedora Linux! He became a meme between Linux users. Beefy is male and on his belly, the mustard indicates progress. He was also a bootup screen for Fedora in past years and as it was loading, the mustard on his belly grew. In 2021, intern Lauryn Dake revamped the style of Beefy and created him in many poses. If you would like to know more about the origins of the Beefy Miracle, please visit: https://beefymiracle.org/

Colúr

Colúr is our newest character that was created as a mascot for our Flock events. In 2022, Jess Chitas created him to go along with the Flock events and to also bring a new Fedora character to the table! He is based on the Pink-Necked Green Pigeon and his name came from the Irish meaning Pigeon but also sounds like the word 'Color'.
