Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap font
Hi, From what I see, after the new logo has been introduced in 2011, no specific font has beed defined as a standard for OpenStreetMap logo, or at least it is pretty impossible to find in current wiki. On the site the header is spelled with d with font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif ; so Helvetica could be modern standard, if we write it down somewhere. As for the old logo from the link, it's writeen with a vertically-stretched Verdana (You can check svg source file here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Osm_button-path.svg). I've managed to achieve almost same result with bold italic Verdana stretched vertically by 180% as well as with bold italic 180%-stretched Bitstream Vera Sans. I do not like the old logo at all though. On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 10:45 PM, sabas88 saba...@gmail.com wrote: Hello list, are there some style/brand guidelines for the creation of OSM materials?

It would however require someone (with enough design credibility* to quieten the bikeshedders) to sit down and do one. I've also always wanted a blessed colour scheme. Historically, people used Bitstream Vera or Helvetica quite a lot, but I've recently been using Cabin (SIL License). robert. * Here, imagine me coughing a lot in the direction of certain DC/SF organizations. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
