Re: [CinCV] Idea for logo try 2

2008-03-16 Thread Leandro Ribeiro
 A contest usually means that everyone feels the need to submit already
 refined work (because others do ...). But starting with sketches and
 going through several iterations with feedback is more efficient.

I've been thinking about this and I got myself agreeing with you before I read 
your email. I decided to abandon the contest idea and embrace the brainstorm 
one. That's why I decided to work on a set of logos I got in my mind, and 
send them so that others can see and send theirs or use mine to create new 
ones.

But I don't think that we should just try to work on the first logo concept 
that appears. A logo is something that either clicks or it doesn't, so we 
should have alot of people just submiting different shapes, typesets, etc, 
until one of those... clicks :)

 A contest often leads to a decision between different designs where more
 variation of one design might yield a better result.

I agree. When a friend of mine, who is a designer, is hired to work on a 
company logo he thinks of many shapes and works on many variations of the 
same shape: a dot here instead of there, many colors, etc. He isn't the one 
who picks the final product: he presents everything to the client and then 
the client chooses.

Here, the client and the designer are the community.

 How about anyone who likes submits proposals and we discuss them. Once
 something satisfies enough of the right people, it is adopted. It still
 can be replaced if something better comes up, especially as the project
 will not need or have broad public exposure for quite a while.

Agree.

 I wonder if you have any idea of what you are asking for here. One step
 at a time, you just can't jump to the top of a mountain. A good logo
 will be a nice starting point for the rest, but there's no need to
 define all that in advance. Submit several months worth of work or
 don't bother at all is nothing you should ask from volunteers in
 open-source projects.

I didn't explained myself here. My fault :)

I don't want people submiting websites, of course. My idea was: please think 
of the usability of your proposals before you submit them. For example: you 
can have a great image, with a lot of detail, but will that work as an icon? 
The idea is not to have a compatible website ready, but to ask yourself: will 
this work in a given website?

Sorry for the mess in going into this subject :)

[CinCV] Bug 371542 - Cinelerra frozen on openSUSE 10.3

2008-03-16 Thread Terje J. Hanssen
To let you know, I have reported a bug (Bug 371542 - Cinelerra frozen on 
openSUSE 10.3) on the Novell/openSUSE Bugzilla list:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=371542

It's too long for me to wait on that Cinelerra possibly will run ok on 
the next openSUSE 11 release, and it is high time to solve this blocker 
on openSUSE 10.3 the sooner the better. (I've previous also been in 
touch with Packman's packager, without solving this problem so far).


Therefore by joining forces, I hope other on this list may contribute by 
adding experience and comments on this bug, and with more knowledge than 
I have about the Cinelerra program itself.


To add comments, one has to register a login account (up to the right) 
on the lin above.



Cheers,
Terje J. Hanssen

Wow! especially liked this one
Has a touch of old cinema projector, or like a moviola.
It also reminds me of a musical score...

really inspiring!

yes, I like that too, the best one so far, great work.

Some suggestions (dunno how it looks, just ideas):
 * make the 'l' in the logo little bit smaller (or the box biggier) so
   that the red color flows around it.
 * experiment with different sizes of the dot in the logo (biggier)
 * correct the kerning between the m and the i, move them little closer
   together.
 * is the font designed by you? make it little less strong, the holes in
   the 'a' are quite small and it looks blurred together, also the
   serifs on the l,m,r,a. the rolling dot might be more distinct like in
   the logo. (well this are already suggestions about fine tuning if we
   decide on this logo, we are not that far yet, aren't we?)
 * in a huge (poster version) the logo 'l' might contain transport/
   perforation marks, like a film. maybe not just interested how that
   would look like.
 * generally tryout diffrent sizes, screenful, splashscreen size, a size
   2-4 times biggier than the screen font (logo on help screens etc),
   screenfont size (10 point), just the 'l' logo from poster to 16x16
   favicon sizes.
