Logo Entry by Florent Fougères
I chose to use four symbols, Auckland's sky tower and a Maori motif represented in boat sails. All with a contour line motif from Rangitoto Island just outside Auckland. For the colors, a mix of blue and green to symbolize the link between mountain and sea, and a hint of red, an important color in Maori culture.
Logo Entry by Adam Steer
The key element in this proposal is spiral motif drawn as a Koru, a traditional polynesian design inspired by an unfurling fern frond. Spirals are an important symbol to almost all cultures globally - this specific rendering is local to Oceania and is an integral part of Māori art and culture. The intention is to represent FOSS4G as a gathering of global cultures and recognising the common bonds we share as a heterogeneous network. Because this is the first gathering of the global FOSS4G community in Oceania since 2009, other symbolic meanings of the Koru apply - new growth, connection, the circle of life.
Using OpenStreetMap data from Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland as a decorative element brings an open geospatial data component to the design - which is also created entirely using open source tools. Colours/text/fonts are almost infinitely adaptable.
Should this concept succeed, any awards will be donated to the FOSS4G 2025 travel grant programme.
