Yes, the Columbus monument at the end of the Rambla is typical BCN.

Based on Quim's feedback, here is a variation of the first one..



That weird rounded rectangle should be a N900, and it probably needs some love from a designer

Ok. here's basic concept from me.
As the main theme of this weekend would be "UX meets Code" - I decided to visualize it as a cocktail, made in "maemo.org community glass" (maemo merchandise, nudge-nudge ). It's sunny, means something, bright, represents spain and barcelona colors. Poke me if you'll be fine with it, I'll try to come up with something else meanwhile.

I have an idea... I'll work on it tomorrow.

I like the Columbus with some fine tuning.

UX meets Code turned out to be one of several activities in the Long Weekend

Playing with flag shapes and colors is not easy in Barcelona.....

I came up with this idea yesterday...it need a bit of retouch but I remember in Amsterdam the XXX as been used, now I think that Gaudì's masterpiece is one of the symbol of the city. Cheers

It was 1.30 am yesterday so I hadn't the time to do the rest, a couple of more ideas will arrive soon

Wow Samantha, welcome! This is a big start.

I think both your Sagrada Familia and Colom have the good balance of BCN global stereotype plus local respect.

Finger friendly Colom is more specific and funny, perhaps more memorable for a shirt. But of course this is all about tastes. I will take the option preferred by the community on Monday, Tuesday if there is an exceptional reason. There is no more time than that!

Thanks for the reply, I will put together also an alternative with Columbus. I first decided for the Sagrada because I have been there 10 years ago and it is something that never left my heart (well Gaudì in general) see you later with new designs

Hello, here it is the Sagrada logo with a dark background and a Colom logo, in both dark and white background, let me know what do you think. Cheers
