I also took a LinkedIn Learning course to help me with character design. I collaborated with Madeline Peck for the design of Colúr, since I was quite stuck as to what art style to draw the bird in.

I came across a bird called the pink-necked green pigeon and it was perfect! Picture of Pink Necked Green Pigeon, this image was marked with a CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Fedora has the 4 F’s and the colors associated with them, so I wanted to work off of a colorful bird. When looking at the original Nest logo, I saw it used a dove, so doves were on the table. Nest, Flock and Hatch all involve around birds, so we wanted to keep with the existing theme. In creating Colúr (pronounced Co-loor), the main idea was to create a character that was some sort of bird. Over the past couple of months, I have been fortunate enough to work on the new Nest, Flock, and Hatch logos as well as - Colúr - a new Fedora character! In this post, I document my journey from creating Colúr to revamping the Nest, Flock, and Hatch logos! Creation of Colúr My name is Jess Chitas and I am an intern at Red Hat focusing on contributing to the Fedora community.
