Re: Conversation: Pick A Logo
Just to clarify my point, I agree that any logo should be designed with print in my mind, if it is to be used for print. The logo must be at least available as a vector and designed in CMYK. But regarding the actual choice of logo, the priority should not be to look for the logo that works best for print, because that is hardly relevant. They should all work well for print. If we do have a poll, would it be best to let all users vote or just active volunteers? I must admit I can't imagine many users being confused by a new logo, but maybe others can judge that better.

There is no reason to prioritize things if the goal is to support both. At the very least we know that we will need banners at conferences, for booths, etc. We also know that there are parts of the ecosystem that distribute CDs and they want something that can work for cover art. -Rob > > Regards > -- > Ariel Constenla-Haile > La Plata, Argentina >

But OpenOffice is a desktop application. For me, this means the main focus should be in a logo that looks good everywhere where it is mainly used, in the user's desktop (even in the window title bar) and the website (even in the website favicon). Thus, IMHO, printing has the lowest priority. Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina pgp_c_iuzrfOx.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Conversation: Pick A Logo
Hi guys, just a quick comment and clarification regarding printing and logos. Print-friendly version (vector, CMYK) is crucial to be prepared during logo design process. This includes color and black&white version (on light and dark background). I must disagree with the comments on that printing is rarely used anymore - few examples include billboards, fair stands, business cards, letterheads and other stationery, and so on. I'm not sure what is the conversation about "flattened" as that may mean perspective, color or position in design terms, so I won't get into that - just wanted to explain that print is crucial part of the logo design :) Best, Milos On 4/11/2013 6:25 PM, janI wrote: On Apr 11, 2013 10:01 AM, "Andrea Pescetti" wrote: On 08/04/2013 Robin Fowler wrote: I think it's important to get the priorities right here.
