Hello!

What about a logo renovation?

I have some skills on graphic design and image edition.
The reno would include the logo itself, icons, etc. For the
web, for the client itself, for anything imagination thinks of!

I saw here on the mailing lists that around 2008 there were
some proposals to change the logo, but it seems nothing stuck.

I have compiled a list of things/ideas for the logo, from those
posts around 2008:

     From herehttps://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnumed-devel/2008-05/msg00099.html :

         - a sense of caring friendliness (which, generally, is
           attributed to your GP, hopefully

         - relatively clear imagery

         - no "standard" Red Cross because of copyright issues

         - one in-your-face item of the logo shall clearly say "this
           is about healthcare given by doctors to patients in the
           community" (as opposed to at the hospital)

         - no hospital-related imagery

     From herehttps://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnumed-devel/2008-05/msg00122.html :

         It should be easy to understand and crisp. No color preference.
         No hospital related artwork please and no red cross.

     From herehttps://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnumed-devel/2008-05/msg00103.html :
         
         It should function as a better icon for window frames and
         desktop shortcut.
         Give a more updated, professional look.

     From herehttps://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnumed-devel/2009-03/msg00129.html :

         Putting it in a banner to announce releases with a template
         would be nice.
         As well as for buttons/etc on the web.

Now, I've been drafting some options already, and have some questions:

- gnu + snake redesign?
     I could try to update the drawing of the gnu + snake,
     although I think to keep in line of a more "modern" image
     we would have to make the drawing quite minimalistic
     (think open suse's chameleon).

- go without snake + gnu?
     I could also try for an even more minimalistic, sleek
     look (think codeberg's logo).

- one health?
     Obviously being a vet myself I would like to somehow maybe
     incorporate the "One health" mentality into the logo, as I
     consider it is the future of healthcare in general.
     Although I can see how incorporating this could be a bit
     ambitious... (shoot fo the moon, I say!)

- any inspo pics? any other ideas? preferences?
     I am open to anything, as long as it's not realistic human or
     animals paintings ;) If it's a bit complicated, it'll just take
     me a bit more time.

What do you think?

María
