 Also It doesn't matter what the problems are, we still need to
 separate the logos and provide them in alternate forms, EPS and a
 hi-res Tiff image. You can't send 10 images in one file to press...
 It's not how the print industry works Like I said in my previous
 post, I'll do the work but only if I get a nod from a commiter with
 access to the website.

That's me, and please do.  Thank you.

 If you do have a browser with native SVG support try viewing the SVG
 logo here: http://www.freebsd.org/logo/logo-basic.svg

I'm not familiar with SVG but could it be that logos are rendered
badly in firefox because SVG 1.1 is not fully supported?

Here's implementation status:

Just a thought. I'm not sure about Opera.

IE6 and Konqueror don't have, native, SVG support... lets recap:

  Opera 9.01 on Windows NT renders it just fine.

 I'm using Opera 9.01 on Windows XP and it does not render well. I can
 see weird colors in the logo, a mix of yellow, orange and red and
 black. If anybody is interested in screenshot, I can capture it :-)

The errors of my ways have been highlighted.  Ignore my  previous
claim please.



After more fiddling I still can't get the SVG logo(s) to display
correctly. It will only display correctly in Adobe products. I've
tried Inkscape, Karbon14, Opera 9, and Firefox 1.5... I even opened up
the original Adobe Illustrator file in Illustrator CS2 and re-exported
it to SVG. no dice! zero! nill! nothing! I even played with all the
Illustrator SVG export settings.

We have a decision to make. Do we keep the bad logo(s) in the SVG file
or pitch them? If we can't view or use the logos on FreeBSD or Linux
why do we keep them only people with Adobe + Windows or Mac can
see them.

Here's what I think we should do:
1. Slice and dice the master logo-basic.ai file so that each logo has
it's own discrete file.
2. Each logo file will then be download-able in different file formats:
 .AI, .EPS, .SVG, .TIF, and/or anything else you can think of.
3. Redesign the logo.html page to accommodate all the new files.

I have Adobe Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS2, etc. and I'm willing to
do this for the group, but only if I get some kind of official nod. I
don't want to waste my time doing all of this work and not have them
put on the website.
