The globe isn't actually too small, I think it just _looks_ that way because: 1) the new logo has more space in it, in particular at the top 2) the new logo is typically viewed with Vector, which has more space around the logo than monobook did. Take a look at the new logo with ?useskin=monobook and I think you'll find it looks "larger". In fact, monobook crowded the logo a bit uncomfortably. For use in Vector, I think the logo could be made larger, as it currently does not fill the space set aside for it. Vector handles the spacing; the logo doesn't need to have padding in the image as well. - --Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkvsO2gACgkQst0AR/DaKHuIIgCeP6lzijRS3ErIJJrCQoYZM0gE j4wAnA6taeIa8Jew9L33axW83K8yQZgl =BrDs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
