ideas

The icon for Sugarlabs should have the following qualities in order to appeal to children

I think this may be both "appeal to children" and "call up childlike images in the minds of adults" - just saying that most of us are not exactly in our target user base. ;) Mchua 03:00, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Simple
  • bright colors
  • not overly polished

Here is a suggestion: Sugar-icon-v1.png

I like the sun logo because:

  • The sun represents knowledge in many cultures
  • It looks a little bit like a child
Inspired by Greg, Caroline, and "The Starfish and the Spider." Also somewhat boring and generic.
The starfish learns to spin a web, the starfish surfs the web, the starfish has a network... unfortunately, this could also be read as "the starfish got stuck in the web."
Somewhat boring and generic, but acorns are often a symbol for youth, trees a symbol of knowledge.
Dandelions sprout just about everywhere. Their flowers and seeds are often played with (and spread by) young children. They are also native to temperate areas of the northern hemisphere.
A dandelion seed in flight, one of billions off to explore the world and find a place to grow...
A dandelion head ready to be picked up and blown on by a child.
