Project Rebrand?

But seems you don’t understand my criticism. People of Tumbleweed development decided change the Tumbleweed logo. Even when the community did make a constest to this. So they choose their favorite logo and in some moment someone said: “oh wait, this logo is similar to the Fedora logo!” so they, again, modified it.

So when they were happy with their new logo they decided change it. They do it and publish the announce: “we have changed the logo for a new one”.

I write in the spanish wiki, but even then I found it in a thread here: ¿Hay cambio de apariencia?

Well, spanish wiki goes slowly -I am the only stable contributor there-, but even in the english wiki was the previous logo. Even in the main site.

And this was because they decided do this and notify this after do it. This is not how a community must work.

First, they’d must take the logo of Logocontest. But if it dislikes, they’d must announced it: “we prefer this other logo!”. And then, they’d must announce “in the snapshot [some date] we want to add the new logo” and as a sane community, we’d make the propper changes in the marketing material.

And this is my point: they did not that because there is no guidelines or policies about do this things. We need nor only rebrand, nor only has a different organization: we need a lot of policies about how make things.
