the parade of autumn begins today

The Drupal redesign is continuing, and an interesting concept for the “Drupal Planet” has been released.  Called Drupal Digest, this new site created by Wim Mostrey uses a digg-style of article presentation.  

Wim also made a great article recently called “Five resources to score a Drupal freelance job”.  It’s a great read, and was apparently inspired by my prior blog post “Looking for Work“.

Drupal wordmark

Ought-o.  This can’t be good.

Drupal is getting a wordmark, and it looks very web 2.0.  It’s still going through it’s finial stages of development, but, I have some quick concerns about it.

  1. “This will not be a design by committee process – the Designer will have the final word”, that’s worrisome.
  2. Drupal is many things, but, it still doesn’t have the power to change the laws of physics (that’s coming in Drupal 8 ;) ).  The “droplets” shouldn’t be coming out of the u for no reason.  I mean, no one wants a logo that looks like it’s sweating.
  3. Why is the d a different color?  Please tell me you don’t plan on using that seporate from the rest of the word mark?
  4. the space between the d and l feels awkward, as does the shape of the letter p and a, it looks like they are they, watching you :)
  5. Learn from others mistakes.
I can’t wait to see the next draft!
