Re: Logo next steps

[Chris Rot]

Hi and thanks for the congrats. The font "Source Sans Pro" is only
suggested for the
Apache_OpenOffice_Logo_ChrisR_2013-05_comparison_font-text_icon-idea.svg
construction
file. All other SVGs have only paths. The font link is included if some
re-construction or additional usage of the font is needed.

I've checked in Chris's logo source files here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/marketing/art/galleries/logos/aoo-working/

As the name suggests, this is a working folder for now, until we
figure out what we're doing.  Note: you'll need to download and
install the Source Sans Pro font if you have not done that already.

Re: Logo next steps

There also need to be adjusted to the graphic guidelines like pantones
and metrics of the logo similar to this:

 Congratulations to Chris! Good job.

OK on all this. Once we get the svg, I hope we'll be able to do testing re
the light gray text that was a concern.

Logo next steps

[Rob Weir]

Now that the core decision making process is over, what are the next steps?

1) I've sent Chris a note requesting the latest SVG.  Once I receive
it I'll check it in.

2) We should make an inventory of places where this logo should go.
What sizes are needed, formats, background color (or alpha
transparency), border requirements, location in SVN, etc.

The ones I know of, from just a scan of the product and website are:

a) The logo in the splash screen.  This includes the version number,
as well as some copyright text and other material.

b) Image in Help/About dialog.  This also includes version number.

c) Website header

d) Blog side bar

e) http://forum.openoffice.org/ header

f) Wiki header -- but the scale is quite small there so maybe we want
to use only the graphical portion?

g) extensions/templates repositories

h) favicon?

i) Bugzilla?

Note:  Previously it was mentioned that the number "4" had unlucky
connotations in some cultures.  So we need to include the version
number as part of the logo in the splash screen and about box?

3) Hopefully several of us can help create the needed variations once
we have the vector source.  Note that some are website uses and other
are in-product uses.  I think we should prioritize the in-product
uses, so we don't hold up the release.

4) Later, after we ship, we can notify 3rd parties, Amazon, etc., so
they can update their copy.

Regards.

That should be a prerequisite this time. We need the original sources
and of course a svg version would be good as well.

Yes, +1.  We'll also need these to be formally contributed to Apache
if the designer has not already signed the iCLA.

 Some ideas:


 1) I'm hoping we start seeing revisions of logos by Monday so we can
 take it to the next stage.  Post them to the wiki.

 You can add your logo to the wiki here:


 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Stage+2+Logo+Refinement

 2) Let's then discuss on the list and see if we can come to a
 consensus on the single logo to go with.  Aim for a decision within a
 week, if possible.  I'd rather avoid another survey.

 A few ways we could do this.  We could discuss and by process of
 elimination converge on a single logo.  Or maybe we ask each designer
 to vote for one logo, but they can't vote on their own?   (Or would
 that be too dramatic?)

 Or, as a last resort we could ask the PMC to decide.  But it is best
 if we can reach consensus instead of voting.  We all know that we'll
 have only one logo in the end.

 3) When we settle onto a logo, we'll need to get the vector source
 files uploaded.  I can help with that.

 4) We'll then need to make a variety of bitmap "treatments" of the
 logo.  We'll need one for the website.  Different ones for avatars for
 our Twitter, Google+ and Facebook pages. One for the Help/About dialog
 in the product.  Possibly a more elaborate treatment for the splash
 screen, where we can create a larger image that includes the logo.
 We'll also want a much simplified and smaller treatment for the
 favicon.

 We can share these tasks.  We don't need the original designer to do
 it all, once we have picked the main logo.

 We can even start now to collect technical requirements of these
 treatments, such as aspect ratio,

 4) There are other elements of the brand refresh that we should look
 at as well, like updating toolbar icons.  The connection to the logo
 is subtle here.  I think it has more to do with the color palette,
 degree of saturation, lighting effects, etc.  I am not a designer, so
 we really need someone with expertise to step up and make a proposal
 here on what we should do.

I would like to see the sourc, so users can modify it, preferably on
an open source format like XCF or SVG.

Dear Mr.Rob Weir,

I want to view the voting result. Can you send me the link once again? I
have deleted by oversight. I want to know on what basis the short listing
has been done

Logo next steps

[Rob Weir]

Some ideas:


1) I'm hoping we start seeing revisions of logos by Monday so we can
take it to the next stage.  Post them to the wiki.

You can add your logo to the wiki here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Stage+2+Logo+Refinement

2) Let's then discuss on the list and see if we can come to a
consensus on the single logo to go with.  Aim for a decision within a
week, if possible.  I'd rather avoid another survey.

A few ways we could do this.  We could discuss and by process of
elimination converge on a single logo.  Or maybe we ask each designer
to vote for one logo, but they can't vote on their own?   (Or would
that be too dramatic?)

Or, as a last resort we could ask the PMC to decide.  But it is best
if we can reach consensus instead of voting.  We all know that we'll
have only one logo in the end.

3) When we settle onto a logo, we'll need to get the vector source
files uploaded.  I can help with that.

4) We'll then need to make a variety of bitmap "treatments" of the
logo.  We'll need one for the website.  Different ones for avatars for
our Twitter, Google+ and Facebook pages. One for the Help/About dialog
in the product.  Possibly a more elaborate treatment for the splash
screen, where we can create a larger image that includes the logo.
We'll also want a much simplified and smaller treatment for the
favicon.

We can share these tasks.  We don't need the original designer to do
it all, once we have picked the main logo.

We can even start now to collect technical requirements of these
treatments, such as aspect ratio,

4) There are other elements of the brand refresh that we should look
at as well, like updating toolbar icons.  The connection to the logo
is subtle here.  I think it has more to do with the color palette,
degree of saturation, lighting effects, etc.  I am not a designer, so
we really need someone with expertise to step up and make a proposal
here on what we should do.

Regards,

-Rob
