Hi all, I have updated the OSGeo symbols set according to your feedbacks.
Updated Preview: https://nbozon.github.io/OSGeo/symbols-set/ Updated material: https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/pull/206/commits/d4cf2ebc76e34293333953980a38dd047d3003a7 Basic changelog: - Removed every symbols considered as non-compliant to our brand guidelines - Removed the Get-It project logo which is not a community project at all - Corrected PostGIS and PgRouting elephant logos (so a bit less scalable now) - Corrected mapfish and pywps logos (added missing text) - Renamed live to osgeolive As nothing that may considered as non compliant to our guidelines remains, and that the first batch of community feedbacks have been taken into account, may i suggest that the OSGeo symbols set could now be pulled into the branding repo ? Thanks in advance for any comment Best, Nick Le mer. 21 nov. 2018 à 00:30, Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com> a écrit : > 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.
