Hi Jody, Thank you for your constructive feedbacks.
I am a bit confused on this one - part of the point of having our mark was > to use it everywhere on all the OSGeo things. > Our mark is our beloved compass, and these variations on the compass are meant to represent all the OSGeo things :) I get your point here, but i think these symbols could be great to help differenciate the many facets of OSGeo. Imagine a new comer that could for example identify each of our activity very clearly. I think that symbols might help him to understand the foundation and find his way, with always the compass shape in mind of course :) The symbol set for "board" and "local chapter" go against this direction of > our style guide. > I quite disagree here, these symbols are on the contrary designed to strengthen our compass-based identity. I imagine they would always be used along with the official mark (for example on the Board or Local chapter pages, as subtitles :) We went through one round of compromise for our style guide, for local > chapters providing guidance on the creation of subbrands. I see no reason > to encourage the use sub brands within our organization? > It would be interesting that the other Marketing Committee members express their opinion on this one. I would of course remove every symbol that may be considered as non compliant to our guidelines. > I am really enjoying the osgeo project and community project symbols :) > Thanks, my pleasure ! > A couple notes: > - The osgeo-postgis is based on boundless branding for postgis (as part of > it including it in the old osgeo suite product). The dimond shape used is > not part of that community's branding (they have an elephant named "Slonik" > holding the world cheerfully). > You are right, and i think Boundless did a great elephant design on the old OpenGeo Suite, so i got inspired :) Slonik is a lovely but very detailed SVG, so difficult to integrate in such a symbol set. That's why i decided to use a simpler one. I will try to modify it before the PostGIS folks complain :) That is also true for the PgRouting elephant btw, beautiful but does not scale well when used within a webfont. > - get-it just added themselves to the website wrong and have not yet asked > to be a community project? I am trying to confirm now ... > Whoa, my bad, sorry ! i didn't know one could become a Community Project so easily :) Yes, please confirm with the Incubation Committee about their application. I see you already removed it from the website so i will remove it from the set. - Loader is being added (it is approved but still has a draft web page) > Good point, will plan to integrate the Loader logo, but i can't find it by now :( - GC2/Vidi was just added yesterday > Yes, and the Mapcentia logo is already in the set. I understand both GC2 and Vidi use the same logotype right ? Thanks again and talk soon Best, Nicolas -- > Jody Garnett > > > On Mon, 19 Nov 2018 at 12:28, nicolas bozon <nicolas.bo...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hello all, >> >> I have finally been able to put together and publish a first version of >> the OSGeo symbols set. >> >> This is a visual representation of the OSGeo projects and activities >> aimed at supplementing the Foundation branding material. >> >> A preview of the OSGeo symbols set is available here: >> https://nbozon.github.io/OSGeo/symbols-set/ >> >> The 48 symbols fall into four categories: >> - Foundation (OSGeo fundamentals represented by 'Variations on the >> Compass') >> - Initiatives (mostly based on the compass shape too) >> - Projects (derived OSGeo project logos) >> - Community (derived Community projects logos) >> >> The set is made of two parts, both copyrighted OSGeo: >> - The source SVG documents, licensed under CC-BY-SA >> (see >> https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/svg >> ) >> - A cross-browser webfont, licensed under OFL. >> (see >> https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/font >> ) >> >> Important notes: >> - Some projects do not have a logotype, only logotext, and cannot be >> included in the set at this stage (namely PROJ, GEOS, OSSIM and Degree). >> - Some projects logos were heavily modified or redrawn, in order to >> ensure constistency and scalability.
