Hi Frederico, Here's my thoughts on the 3 logos.
velocity-project.png: - I love it! I like the book, the proportions, the prominence of "DocBook", the colors, and the font. The only possible improvement would be to put the "D" and "B" in Docbook and the "F" in framework in the color of that the "W" in framework currently is and turn the "W" back to black. This would emphasize the "DBF" initials which we sometimes use as an acronym for the project. (though i think we should go with the first one, i'll give feedback on the rest anyway) velocity-project2.png - The dimensions and proportion are problematic here. We'd have trouble fitting it at the top right of Docbook Framework's web pages. - The font is ok, but not that eye catching. - Again, i like the emphasis (this time via color) on "DocBook". - I don't understand the dots around the diamond. Snapshot-1.png - The dimensions are still a bit awkward, but much better than velocity-project2.png - I really like the blue striping with the word "VELOCITY". It gives a sense of "velocity" or momentum better (in my opinion) than our current logo for Velocity Engine. Perhaps you could help us redesign that logo? :) - I also like the font for "DocBook", but i really don't like the wavy glyph or the script font used for "Framework". It doesn't fit the rest of the logo or really even the meaning of the word. Seriously, i could see us turning Snapshot-1.png into a new, better logo for Velocity Engine. Just increase the size of "Velocity", drop the wavy glyph and "framework", then change "DocBook" to "Engine" (keep the font) and decrease it's size a bit so that "Velocity" dominates the logo. We might even be able to work in the rotational velocity image from the current logo, to keep things familiar. It wouldn't be part of the GHOP contest since i believe it is too late to add it as an additional task, but if you're interested in continuing to help out when the contest is done, let us know. I think this has some real potential! :) On Nov 29, 2007 10:41 PM, Frederico Gonzalez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Okay Here's My 3 Logo's for DocBook Project > > http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-asf/issues/detail?id=32&colspec=ID%20Status%20Owner%20Summary > > > > > Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:45:58 -0800> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: > > dev@velocity.apache.org> Subject: Re: DocBook Project - [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Hi Frederico,> > Thanks for participating in this!
