And beside that, do you realize the difference in objectives between ooo-site/images/ ooo-site/marketing/art/images/ and ooo-site/branding/images. I dont see any reason why those issues should impact the web works of ooo-site/images/. That folder is for website-design related work. It has, or shouldnt hold any porpouse to archieve past work, nor to hold description of any kind. I think website should be as lean and easy to follow since we expect these conventions be followed by a rotating community. So again K.I.S.S.

The only porpouse of having a source file, is for users to be able to modify it on the first place.

Again, if this was code, this would be totally unacceptable approach. If new logos are introduced then they should replace the current logo, and the old will live in anals of the svn logs. > > 2) New logo then is checked in as a new revision of logo-master.svg. > People are free to disagree with me, but I think this is a messy way to work, and for a webdev folder is completely useless, specially when there is a whole different project specialized on archiving, developing, and multiplying artwork inside marketing, and a whole different project devoted to specifying the guideliness of the brand (aka logo). > Regards, > > -Rob > > > > > > > >> or something clean like that.
