Sustainable visual identity design is a design that recycles
as many elements as possible with every new piece of
communication. Not only is a brand strengthened every time the
logo and any other identity forming visual element is used, a
lot of work is also saved as well. Every logo variant is a
weakening of the brand, not a strengthening.

Of course design improvements can be made - always, all year
'round - preferably not right up to the next conference.

I consider it a waste of time to create a sublogo for a
minidebconf. The Debian logo is perfectly suitable as logo for a
Debian conference.

In the particular case of the Barcelona MiniDebConf 2014, I think
the Debian Women logo is the proper logo to use, though, since it
is a Debian Women project, contradictionary as it may sound.

The same principle of recycling typography and grids. I'd like as
much identity matter - and work - to be reused, as possible. There
is no need to reinvent the wheel every time.

A visual theme created with illustration and colour schemes is
enough as identity indicator for smaller events like MiniDebConfs.
