Title: Symbiostock Branding Files + Theme Preview Contest
Post by: Leo Blanchette on July 13, 2013, 16:53

First off, let me give everyone access to the branding files for Symbiostock:

https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/tree/master/symbiostock_branding (https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/tree/master/symbiostock_branding)

You may use these for your own branding projects in theming, plugins, and personal site needs. Basically anything you want.

I need some help perfecting the theme's preview screenshot. So here is something you may enjoy:

Symbiostock Theme Preview Contest

We need a permanent preview graphic for the theme to last a few years.

Basically two versions:

• A large version for use on webpages. Can include extra text, icons,
• A "screenshot" version which is used for the theme's preview. Its what you see in the theme area of wordpress.

These can be used freely among the community in advertising Symbiostock. I totally suggest fun and freedom with these graphics. The fibonacchi dots are also free for your use.

Contest guidelines and details:

Here is what I initially had:

(https://github.com/orangeman555/symbiostock/blob/master/symbiostock_branding/screenshot.png?raw=true)

I chose the fibonacchi network background because the pattern itself represents one of nature's finest engineering methods: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number#In_nature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number#In_nature) . They are connected to denote networking.

I choose green and orange to complement the logo because they are lively, and a nice concept to go with "Symbiosis".

I would appreciate if these basic concepts were included, but if someone comes up with a better way to represent everything, and its voted in, I'm completely in favor of that as well.

So basically its a free for all, but I start this simply by showing the general start and inspiration.

Vote on final graphics

After everyone has submitted their work, we can set up a pole showing a link to each graphic. Perhaps MSG can vote on the "winning" set, and those will be used for the next few years of Symbiostock's branding.
