Logo renovation...?

[Maria Scappini]

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 here https://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 here https://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 here https://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 here https://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?
