Glad to see hobbit got a new name.  
But there is still one thing important missing.
Do we want to tackle the design logo icon at this time also ?

Such a shame something like this couldnt be used - seems like a
perfect choice, albeit an infringment on another copyright:

No, it looks too much like the MS Window's logo...

:D
 
How about something similar, but instead of an X, make it a Y 
with green, yellow and red buttons?

I have these mad(/awful) ideas sometimes so I might as well air my
insanity

 
We have the red/amber/green traffic light colours for display

 
So some sort of traffic light logo with

 
X imposed on the red light - we don't want that 

Y imposed on the amber light - we need to know why its amber

And MON with the O as the green light.

 
Someone with some artistic sensibilities could come up with the actual
look.

 
Right I'll crawl back under my stone now

I agree.
Let's not rush into this.
Remember, we live in a world where lawyers prowl, and they will sue you, simply because your logo looks a little bit like theirs, or uses the same colours as theirs, or makes people crap the same colour as their logo does.
Hobbit worked fine for years without a logo, as did Linux, and many other products out there.

I am not saying we need to wait years before we come up with a logo, I just don't believe we need to rush into this.
Sometimes, when something doesn't need to be done, it is important that it isn't done.

Agree, no rush but I hope this task should be going on at lesser priority.
 
see xym.jpg in this attached email(it is only 16KB) so I think it is ok to be sent via this email.
I don't know engough about GIMP yet. I hope the "X" has four hobbit colors in the devided four sections.
let me know if you want the xym.xcf gimp file to continue the work.
 
I think logo design should be designed by the icon professional designer.
I am willing to pitch in money for this cost also.

That's always been one of the things I've never understood about companies...they don't think they are getting worthwhile software unless they pay through the nose for it.  Trust you admins and let them decide if it's worthwhile.  They're the ones that will be using it day to day.  I'll be the first to admit that there are some FOSS projects that aren't worth what you pay or them but they either get forked by people who care to make it better or they disappear altogether.

We have the red/amber/green traffic light colours for display

So some sort of traffic light logo with

X imposed on the red light - we don't want that

Y imposed on the amber light - we need to know why its amber

And MON with the O as the green light.

Someone with some artistic sensibilities could come up with the actual

If a solution is useful, regardless of whether it is commercial or free (or "better than free"), the knowledge base is available...if anything, it's better since we know what the code looks like and (if so inclined) are able to fix the shortcomings ourselves.

I believe at the time of our need for commercial support, VM Assite Inc.'s service was not available at that time.
I now add you company in at 
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/User_Guide#Commercial_Support
Please provide more detail of your Xymon support service.
 
We went with TWW for their  software packaging service but the technical support part
was dropped and it is hard to get the budget back given current economic situation
 that every company is facing.

Hey, I'll give people their money back if they're not satisfied! All

The funny thing about this argument is

a) all software licenses I've seen have enough disclaimers in them that
   any lawyer would have no problem fending off a lawsuit. So the
   "we'll sue you if this doesn't get fixed" threat is meaningless.
   (Can anyone point to a succesful lawsuit where a software vendor
   had to pay for deficiencies in their product? I don't know of any).

b) the free software either pays off immediately, or it is junked. If
   it pays off you win; if not, you've lost nothing but a couple of 
   days work by your techs - no big loss.


The economics seem simple enough to me. Maybe that's why I'm a techie, not
a manager :-)

I can tell you that I read a story about someone reading a EULA, AUP, etc
agreement with a clause that read "If you are the first to call xxx-xxx-xxxx
you will get a free $300 since you took the time to read this".  Turns out
the company honestly gave out $300.

Since then I anticipate it hasn't been done, though =)

$0.00 of it!


The funny thing about this argument is

a) all software licenses I've seen have enough disclaimers in them that
  any lawyer would have no problem fending off a lawsuit. So the
  "we'll sue you if this doesn't get fixed" threat is meaningless.
  (Can anyone point to a succesful lawsuit where a software vendor
  had to pay for deficiencies in their product? I don't know of any).

b) the free software either pays off immediately, or it is junked. If
  it pays off you win; if not, you've lost nothing but a couple of
  days work by your techs - no big loss.


The economics seem simple enough to me. Maybe that's why I'm a techie, not
a manager :-)

Hi,

I'd like to add a basic logo design in to the mix.  I feel that something simple would be best, and I'm not sure that having the name as part of the logo always looks good.  I think a graphical logo, which can have the name next to it if you want, could offer more flexibility.

It depends, for a horizontal menu -> horizontal logo.  For favicon -> square, 
and sometimes vertical is beter.
I think it is better to have different versions of the same logo so you can 
choose the logo that's suites best.

You know, a few weeks ago someone showed a reskinned Hobbit that looked nice.  I am more interested in "skins" than I am in a new logo (we have managed to get by without one for years).  Of course, the grand unification strategy might be to use the new logo as part of the default "skin."

I am even thinking the "MON" in the horizontal one should be all green
background. So you have red background "X", yellow background "Y" and green
background "MON".

It is more green than yellow or red because it works better :)

Attached are little concept sketches (poorly drawn in Windows Paint,
I'm not an artist) integrating the M/N letters with the design.
"xymonb" has all letters black, "xymonn" is an attempt at neon.
(I don't know what fonts have a "y" that looks like a rotated "h".)

Just throwing the idea out there...

Perhaps, with the lights horizontal, applying color-blindness shaping
would be better (assuming that isn't patented/trademarked and might
soon [haha] become a standard).

I like the second (not so big). It try to put it on the right corner (on the

It will be nice put it near a traffic lights gifs ( attacched).

For example this is my header:


<!-- The favicon image -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="&BBSKIN/favicon-&BBBACKGROUND.ico">

</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="&BBBACKGROUND" BACKGROUND="&BBSKIN/bkg-&BBBACKGROUND.gif" 
TEXT="#D8D8BF" LINK="#00FFAA" VLINK="#FFFF44">

<TABLE SUMMARY="Topline" WIDTH="100%">
<TR><TD HEIGHT=16>&nbsp;</TD></TR>  <!-- For the menu bar -->
<TR>
<td>
  <div align=left><img SRC="/gifs/logo_regione.gif" align=ABSCENTER>

That one is good as well, xymon10.png by John Turner. A couple of things
though:

1. Probably should have a black background and white lettering
2. The colours on the diamond, could be more in-line with Hobbit colours
(green, yellow, red, blue, purple...)

I was just going to comment that myself.  The black lettering will not work
with a transparent background as the background of (most) Xymon pages are
black.
