I very much like the proposal, thanks for doing that. The goal to achieve more awareness is great, let's act to achieve that goal. Several things have been said about the mark. I think having text like osm.org/c there is a + 1. Intel Inside has text. FairTrade has text. Maybe for the mark (next to the text) also a tweak of the present OSM logo (left top of osm.org) could do the job.
For the process: please make adjustments and send in the next draft. Putting it on osm.org seems like a must: if our page doesn't have it, why should others use it? About the text: *OSM is built by a community of local mappers that keeps data about roads, cafés, subway stations, and much more up to date every day.* It might create false expectations, Last Sunday I drove on a quite important primary road. My OSM navigation let me down. Later I found out that it was due to a turn restriction error which was already there for 1,5 year..... The message in my opinion should invite people more to act themselves instead of relying on others to create a map. I'm not a communication expert, but maybe something like this: 'Openstreetmap is built by a growing community that wants to create the best map in the world. Take a look at your neighbourhood and join in to experience the fun of adding data about roads, shops and so on. (and this of course preferrably in the correct language version) Cheers, Johan 2013/1/11 Cartinus <carti...@xs4all.nl> > +1 > > On 01/11/2013 08:27 PM, Michal Migurski wrote: > > I like the spirit of this, and I think it's a necessary and welcome > idea.
