Hi I find the proposed logo quite appealing. Well done. Nevertheless, I argue against the magnifying glass On 14/10/16 21:56, Frederik Ramm wrote: > The magnifying glass is hard to explain when there's nothing > under it but I think we have reached an age where it is ok to simply > hold on to som

Normal practise is for the "marketing department" to have the logo available in a selection of forms, for different purposes. Think of different formats (square, 16:9, full-width banner etc), different resolutions, different colour depths, perhaps a monochrome version etc. In order to protect the "

IMO The current logo works in large scale and 16x16 as well. I don’t know of use cases where smaller is needed. Also the colours in the current logo is pleasant to me, and represents a map. The 0’s and 1’s is a clear reference to the digital database. I think if we need to simplify the current l

Most of what I agree with has already been said. If any media, such as lo-fi print or t-shirts calls for a simplified design, there's no problem going with it. This has been done. The good thing about the general concept of our logo (lens+map) is that it will be recognizable in either case. These c
