That is a 300x150px PNG file. So I believe that is only a copy of our official logo.

So as you point out, what we have today is a mess ;-) I'd recommend that we aim for a single location for the image source files. So, we have a place where we can keep the original source files for any important logos. This would include our current "official" logos, our accessory logos like the "Get it here!" logo, as well as source for the legacy logos. Why bother with legacy logos? Because they may have graphical elements that we want to reuse in future logos. If we can't find source for a particular logo, then we store the highest resolution, least compressed version of the bitmap image that we can find. If we have the original source collected in some consistent way then I think we can be less concerned about the rasterized versions. There might be several places where these are stored. (And they are not so much "stored" as "used".) For example, one might be on the website (ooo-site in Subversion) while another copy might be in a product directory because it is used in the UI. Another version might be on the wiki, or on the blog's media library. There may be some advantages to trying to clean this all up and say here is the single one place where the raster images are stored, but that sounds like a lot of work. And in some cases this might not be possible, since the image may need slight tweaking. For example, one use might need an alpha transparency channel, while another use needs an explicit white background. -Rob > > Thanks. > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > MzK > > "There's no crying in baseball!" > -- Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), "A League of Their Own"
