<p>Also, something weird is happening between NI and Scotland - not sure what the three dots are doing there.
<br></p></div></blockquote><div>The dots are produced by QGIS' point-pattern fill style, so I'll ask it! I suspect there's some islands or something... I did a lot of adjustment of pattern fill offsets to try and get something that resembled last year's logo in terms of resolution etc, so I'll play more and get something that might be a bit less jittery. I could always adjust manually, because... <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>

<p>Are you willing to give it a bit more of a tweak, or share the source files, so I can?</p></div></blockquote><div>...the rest of it is done in Inkscape...<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
<p>I like the names - possibly Bristol need a bit of location tweak. <br></p></div></blockquote><div>...and the names on a circle were a pain to do - which is why the bottom of the circle isn't quite right compared to the top of the circle! But yes, also a bit more spacing around the Bristol text is needed. I whipped this out pretty quick and didn't have time to fine-tune everything, but if we want to go with it I'll hone it! Or pass it on to my "does a bit of graphic design" girlfriend, but that would mean her staying late at work for their Adobe license...<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>

<p>We should also incorporate the event name in there somewhere - FOSS4G:UK Local 2023.
<br></p></div></blockquote><div>I think I was unsure about the name and I'm still worried about calling it "UK" with Ireland in there! Let's not start a war... <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>

<p>The swoop I like, will have to see how it all fits together. <br></p></div></blockquote><div>Yeah, integrating the swoop into the map logo is a bit awkward, will consider...<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>

<div>I had a quick go at incorporating the national flags into the OSGeo swoosh. Note that there's no Northern Ireland flag in this but a) we don't have a location in NI and b) there is no official flag for Northern Ireland - the Ulster Banner and the St Patrick's
Saltire are sometimes used but there's only four spaces in the swoosh...<br>

<div>Hi all, nice chat this morning, sets me thinking about various things...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I like the logo with the dotmap of the UK and the locations coloured in, I assume the plan was to do this again but including Ireland and putting 7 dots in the right place for the seven locations? I'd suggest making the location dots clearer than the background
dots, and giving the location names more prominence? Not sure if embedded images an non-plain text is allowed on this mailing list but (and I've not coloured the dots in...)<br>

<div>makes me think of one of those panorama viewpoint indicator things you get on the tops of hills showing you the places in the distance... which gives me another idea that's probably totally impractical...</div>

<div>and in for a penny, here's a preliminary "ten years after" logo...</div>
