Time to have some fun! As discussed in a previous blog post, as part of a set of launch activities being planned to help provide a marketing splash for Drupal 8 when it launches, we’re developing a brand identity for the release. Today we’re excited to show some concepts and ask for feedback.
I'm Soonreal (Michael) from Minsk, Belarus. In this two part series I will tell you how our group “The Drupal Club” took part in Drupal Days and helped build a community in Belarus during 2011-2013 years, step by step.

The response to the call for designers for the Drupal 8 logo has been outstanding! More than 20 designers or firms have expressed interest and we’re still going through portfolios and conducting interviews. That part of the process should be complete by early next week. As mentioned in the design brief, the Drupal 8 branding will be an important element of the marketing of Drupal 8 and the goal is to have it complete in time for DrupalCon Prague.
I'm Soonreal (Michael) from Minsk, Belarus. I'm social. My values and principles are very closely aligned to the Drupal community's principles. I've been involved in Drupal closely for 3 years. I work with frontend and create modules in web-development too. But my main interest is the community. I like to take part in building new social movements, structures, groups and to develop them in my country.
Update: Part of our charter at the Drupal Association is promoting Drupal and the great community behind the project. As such, we are developing a launch plan along with the Branding and Marketing Committee for Drupal 8 to help make sure there is a marketing splash when it is released. That includes media coverage, social media buzz, release parties, sales enablement and other elements that will give Drupal 8 the attention it richly deserves.
The Drupal community is a large, vibrant group made up of contributors all over the world. It is a community working toward the common goal of moving the Drupal project forward and enjoying the benefits of that work. But it doesn’t end there. Drupal is part of something bigger: the idea that open source has an important role in today's and tomorrow's technology ecosystem.
