We should ship default graphics that emphasise Bugzilla's indentity as distinct from Mozilla's and mozilla.org's. These would appear in the default header. We need a mascot.

Please draw Buggy the bug, our new mascot!

We must have buggy!
Comment 3•23 years ago

I need details of this "buggy" character. :-) Does he look like a spider? Or a praying mantis? Or models for RAID in his spare time?

Buggy is a bug. Buggy is not under existing copyrights. That is all we yet know about Buggy.

OK, the question is whether the mascot should be named "Bugzilla", "Buggy" or something else. Some projects have the mascot take their name (eg Mozilla) whereas some don't (eg Tux for Linux). Bugzilla would seem to be the obvious choice but I think Buggy would be better as it would distinguish between the product and the mascot in conversation. Terry has indicated our mascot is female. That idea seems to have consensus on IRC.

So do we call it bugerina (female) then?

I envisioned a stinkbug with contrasted lines (orange-red, white, and black), to keep with the mozilla.org design scheme. I rather like continuity, since I don't think neon lime and pink go well with the overall site design. I've got some sketches for a mascot. I, personally, would rather keep the (mozilla.org-font) bugzilla logo, as I mentioned in my reason above. As for male/female, I'd say this bug's a hermaphrodite. And its name is "buggy v.2.0," No need to change what the world already knows about :-)

Let's keep discussion in here, I don't see any reason to fill the newsgroup (which should have technical details) with this stuff.

wasn't dawn going to paste in some of meep's sketches?
Comment 24•23 years ago

dawn needs to digicam it - or could someone else, with a scanner?
Comment 25•23 years ago
|
||
I have the scanner, but no drawings, maybe someone can stick them in front of the fishcam for a little while so we can see ;)
Comment 26•23 years ago

Why not just use a Volkswagen Beetle? ;)
Comment 27•23 years ago
|

I saw the entry called "photoish icon ... want to mod" and thought the graphic looked great. So I grabbed the existing mozilla.org header graphic, took out everything except the 'saur head piece, put a variation on the above graphic on the opposite side, and slapped Bugzilla's name on top of it all. Okay, it probably looks horrible :) But it might inspire something better or serve as a starting point. .xcf available if needed.
Comment 28•23 years ago
|
||
Pretty much the same as the first variation; instead of alpha-blended text on top of the background graphic, every other line of the text is erased to reveal contents underneath. Same font though. Hope it helps.
Comment 29•23 years ago
|
||
William, these look very cool (and justdave said so too) - want to elaborate on them? Maybe not cut the bug on the right, and perhaps do some colour variations so MattyT doesn't complain so much?

Comment 30•23 years ago

Complain? I have no problem with these drawings artistically. What I didn't like was firstly that there isn't really a concept of a 'bugzilla mascot', I think there has to be a face for that. I also didn't really like using the Mozilla mascot here. I presume mozilla.org will continue to use it for their bugzilla (in addition to Buggy), but I don't think we want it for the standard header. Part of this is about establishing a separate identity for the project (the other part is about giving us something to put on a Bugzilla t-shirt).
Comment 31•23 years ago

A brand new, from scratch, first-run image. Say hello to Bagujira. I have a few concepts left I might pursue.... The only real problem with this particular concept, IMHO, is the "hollywood effect".... some people may be as unfomortable with this image as hollywood is with putting explosions in the current batch of movies. Either way, I love zilla movies, and this is my first contribution to bugzilla outside of expanding the user base.

Comment 33•22 years ago

I worked on another attempt last night that might be better appreciated. I'm not sure where we want to go with this so I'm basically randomly designing here.
Comment 34•22 years ago
|

Hi, I just came across Bugzilla. I'm a graphic designer and a tech friend of mine recommended this software. I saw you are looking at a logo and couldn't help myself! I tried to get the idea of many bugs, targetting them with the circles coz its tracking software and a friendly central bug in strong black line style to work okay with Mozilla. If you like this, let me know - I can get a print quality one for you. Mike

I really like bugz logo (attachment 72343 [details])

Comment 37•22 years ago

This last logo is awesome; I vote we use it (and move on to solving this bug permanently).
Comment 38•22 years ago
|
||
We'll need a longer, thinner, more banner-like version, but yes. That last is great. (We'll also need the original vector/layered version.) Gerv
Reporter | ||
Comment 39•22 years ago
|
||
The above looks good and certainly worth using, however I would like to at least see meep's mascot before deciding. Dawn? Also we would need to get the appropriate licensing issues dealt with before using it. I know they are having problems with licensing issues over the Mozilla mascot, I don't know whether that is because the mascot was in use before the licensing issues were brought up, or whether it is something different entirely that doesn't really apply to us.
Comment 40•22 years ago
|
||
Absolutely. If the person were to grant the Bugzilla Team an irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, blah blah to the image, that would probably do. I don't think it really matters that the team isn't a legal entity. (Actually, some of the Mozilla issues, with the company who owns the Godzilla trademark, affect Bugzilla as well, and Bugzilla had to be included in the deal which fixed it. So I hear.) Gerv
Comment 41•22 years ago
|
||
Hi, I'm happy to grant any license/copyright in the image I have produced. Just let me know the wording you'd like me to use... If someone has the pixel size of the banner you need, let me know and I can knock up one that size for review. Also - I'd rather wait for a final decision before producing a 'proper' logo - ie a tidied, vector version for all applications as this is a bit more work. Finally a question: (forgive me for being a novice at this) how is a decision actually reached? :) Mike

justdave@syndicomm.com, the Bugzilla Benevolent Dictator and this bug's assignee, has final say. Dave? :-) Gerv
Comment 43•22 years ago

I would also really like to see meep's artwork before making a decision. Dawn, if you are having trouble getting it scanned, snail them to me, I can scan them.
Comment 44•22 years ago

So, lets do this. Did we ever get meep's artwork?

Yeah, you got my artwork, but I'm thinking of even better ones! Sigh. I'll try and send a digital version this week.

Unless Mozilla's broken, that doesn't look animated...
Comment 53•21 years ago

> Unless Mozilla's broken, that doesn't look animated...
It animates at the 15 sec and 20 sec marks, then returns to the 0 sec mark. The
goal was to create a simple design using (not so) subtle colours (mozilla's
black/orange/red) and a animation that *only* enhances the perception of
"buggishness." I prefer longer delays to help cut the distraction animated gifs
cause.
This was more of a personal exercise and may very well be inappropriate for the
needs of buzilla.org. However, I've shared it here and I'm more than willing to
make any required changes if buzilla.org wishes to use it.
Comment 54•21 years ago

Can we hold off further discussion until mlum has attached her logo? :-) Gerv

ahhh... that's subtle, I was just impatient :)
Comment 56•20 years ago

Enhancements which don't currently have patches on them which are targetted at 2.18 are being retargetted to 2.20 because we're about to freeze for 2.18. Consideration will be taken for moving items back to 2.18 on a case-by-case basis (but is unlikely for enhancements)
Target Milestone: Bugzilla 2.18 → Bugzilla 2.20
Comment 57•20 years ago
|
||
Bugzilla 2.20 feature set is now frozen as of 15 Sept 2004. Anything flagged enhancement that hasn't already landed is being pushed out. If this bug is otherwise ready to land, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis, please set the blocking2.20 flag to '?' if you think it qualifies.

If this bug is > otherwise ready to land, we'll handle it on a case-by-case basis, please set the > blocking2.20 flag to '?' if you think it qualifies. What does this mean? And are we ever going to see 'meeps designs'? I think they were mentioned only THREE YEARS AGO!!! Mike

oh, my mistake i see there is already a bugzilla logo that has nothing to do with this bug, hey ho...
Comment 60•20 years ago
|
||
sorry. life decisions and personal crises kept meep from presenting her design. however, now that I have a handy-dandy canon scanner, and the memory chip that contains the damn art I drew in 2003, I can finally work on this (also after quitting my job and finding the time!). Anyway, while there's someting on the website already, I'm still going to submit something, whether you like it or not!
