Hi!

After taking a look at the guidance https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_movement_affiliates/Logos_best_pra... Gaurav kindly shared, I've drafted up some potential logos. Here are some links if you'd like to check them out in advance. Please feel free to send me feedback directly, especially if you catch something I might be able to fix before we decide on Tuesday. Or express your preferences to the mailing list, if you can't make the meeting.

It looks like our closest peers, in DC and NYC, go with fairly basic logos based on the foundation logo. Personally I like the community logo a lot better, so I went with variations on that. It also has the advantage that there is apparently a little more flexibility with the visual identity standards. That said, most of these could switch to the foundation logo pretty easily if people prefer that one.

Use this link to view the drafts https://design.penpot.app/#/view?file-id=ff0898e1-835b-80ff-8007-adf83aeef0c.... You may need to click in the upper left where it says Basic 1 to view all of them. * The first few are basic versions of the community logo. * The next few are variations introducing the blue and red from the North Carolina flag in various ways. (Esthetics aside, this may not be a great idea. The guidelines say avoid map outlines because they can be seen as political. The same probably goes for flag references. Had to satisfy my own curiosity, though.) * The last few got a little more creative. Yours,

Jennifer
