We have numerous threads scattered throughout the forum on this subject so I wanted to create a "central clearing house", especially for high-level approaches to the topic of graphics.

I'll kick it off by reiterating that I think we could use some core iconic elements to represent Maemo and/or maemo.org, other than name branding.

The UX + code event in Barcelona made this clear as we debated the artwork for tee-shirts, et al. Samantha came up with a great final design but I'd like to go step further for future events.

So I'm proposing first an icon to symbolize UX + code. My first effort (with variants) is below:



The icon respresents:

- "C" for code (also an opened copyright symbol )
- the word "code" spelled out in Morse code as a visual pun
- the zoom out gesture for the N900

Different icon color schemes will of course be necessary for different background colors.

This is not necessarily the final and I am hoping for feedback. I will also be working up other ideas as they occur and encourage contributions from the community.

And of course we will need other icons as well so by all means suggest or create them!
