[rb-general] Logo Voting: Wordmark & Color

[Elio Qoshi]

No logo works without Wordmark by default indeed. Every brand in the past has established itselves first before they had the privilege to let go of their wordmark (Nike, McDonalds, Adidas etc)

Overpass is indeed a good choice, it's the type face used by Red Hat. Also we at Ura use Overpass. Montserrat is the typeface used by Fedora.

I'd personally suggest option 1 or 2 as they are more recongizable. It also offers more flexibility with a color palette later on when there are 2 colors instead of one.

Should we open a voting on these 4 logos or would people be happy to go with #1 or #2?
