Hi Bernard, Drew: Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I /really/ appreciate your help! I've tried to answer your questions inline below. I still have a few of my own.

Hi Bernard: Is that the image here? http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors_Guidelines_Valid1.png If not, where do I find it? I can scale it via Gimp. The printer is named "VistaPrint" It looks like the best resolution I can get with them is 75 dpi (see below) > Especially with posters and banners please remember to include the > necessary white space area around the logo in your design.

Full Bleed Size (starting document size) 71.80" x 30.20" 1824mm x 767mm 5385 x 2265 pixels yield: Document Trim Size (final size after being cut) 71.53" x 30.00" 1817mm x 762mm 5365 x 2250 pixels I realize the DPI is not what I spoke to originally. This is actually fewer dpi (75) I was under the impression that VistaPrint could produce a high-res banner. Apparently that's not the case. I do have a printer in Tucson that can do hi res, but it will be about 3 or 4 times the VistaPrint cost. I'd like some feedback from you folks: do you want a 75 dpi banner, or should we go for higher resolution (but more $) Personally, I think the "LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors_Guidelines_Valid1.png" (if that's the logo) will be OK at 75 dpi: graphic edges are straight, sans-serif font. At a distance (> 6 feet), I think we can get by for a trade show. If we buy by 10-Feb, we get a free banner which has the following dimensions: Full Bleed Size (starting document size) 35.70" x 20.20" 907mm x 513mm 2678 x 1515 pixels Document Trim Size (final size after being cut) 35.50" x 20.00" 902mm x 508mm 2662 x 1500 pixels Again, 75 dpi, but up close (< 3 ft) it should be OK. > Cor used a enlarged version of the installer image for FOSDEM, but there > have been some other proposals in the past...
