think this one has a good composition and is nicely laid out. I'm not a
fan of the font at all. Maybe a more narrow one would tie better to the
lines of the contours. And could even use actual contours from one of
the volcanoes. Just because it's a log doesn't mean it has to be brown!
Logos can break the rules! I say make it bright. It speaks well to Portland and could improve
on the geospatial side of things... but I like it.<br><br></div><div>Logo 2<br></div><div>Although
I find logo 2 way less creative and I am not a fan out it's layout, in
particular the text layout, font and ribbon placement, I do think that a
map could potentially be able to bridge the representation of how
awesome Portland is with the artistic and innovative world of geospatial
technology. <br>
<br></div><div>To vamp it up...if it's an option...i would suggest
playing with line styles and colours using dots, lines, dashes etc. (as
in route maps but keeping the colours to a minimum) and if the text
wiill be over-layed on the 'map' as it currently is, to keep the map
more subtle (currently the lines are pretty heavy feeling) and let the
name/text be more the focus. I would have liked to see a better map/grid
design in the end. <br>
<br></div><div>Logo3<br></div><div>Definitely too many colours used.
It's nice but I find it pretty touristy feeling and not at all speaking
to the geospatial tech conference side of things. Though past logos have done the same (Victoria's legislature building...)<br><br></div><div>Someone
mentioned too many colours as an issue and that is definitely a
concern. Keeping them to a minimum would be best for sure.<br>
<br></div><div>And someone else mentioned possible issues with having
too many letters and numbers mixed and the use of PDX or Portland. I
think FOSS4G 2014 PDX could have a lot of artistic opportunity and not
end up visually confusing depending on the layout (Logo 1 worked well i
thought)<br>

Here are my thoughts on the logos<br>
<br>
<br>
1 (Stumptown):<br>
I like the 'organic-ness'. Not sure that I like the green. Might want<br>
to go some bright color to accent off the nature colors. Or maybe a<br>
darker green like a dark green forest.<br>
<br>
I have questions about the flexibility of this logo, i.e. will it work<br>
on many colors and backgrounds?<br>
<br>
<br>
2 (Path/Grid):<br>
I like this a lot too but street focused and perhaps too rectilinear.<br>
Perhaps further 'river' development could improve this. Perhaps no<br>
outline on the river where it flows out of the rectilinear area,<br>
leaving it free flowing and bounding. Perhaps a larger more complete<br>
river (connecting with Columbia and upriver Columbia) with the ribbon<br>
just a portion of the river network in a slightly different blue or<br>
outlined... Perhaps flip the ribbon so that there can be more down<br>
river flowing? This could be less street centric by removing the<br>
streets and just using bike paths/routes, not sure that would be<br>
recognizable.<br>
<br>
This could be an awesome OSM logo as is...<br>
<br>
<br>
3 (Bridgetown):<br>
I like this a lot too. Not sure on the red.<br>
<br>
I second Elizabeth and Percy's number of colors/total printed area<br>
concerns. If Elizabeth thinks it is not feasible for use, we should<br>
ask that it be redesigned or eliminated. If we outline the sign, then<br>
we could remove one of those large colors by making the shirt that<br>
color. We don't want a great but infeasible logo.<br>
<br>
Really the problem is that I like all of these. Initially 2<br>
(Path/Grid) popped out at me most.<br>

FWIW, I think this could be one of those that the monitor makes a big difference. The color on my iPad is noticeably lighter than the color on my screen. (my screen is calibrated, although I haven't re-calibrated in a while).<br>
<br>
I'm not a fan of the ribbon placement myself, but that's certainly the sort of thing that can be tweaked...<br>
<br>
I was also thinking that it might be cool to have the topo actually be the topo of Mt Hood. Not sure how feasible that is, though.<br>

<br>
I think it's possible to have a more colorful print/digital version and a simpler version for screen printing..<br>
<br>
Even though the Forest Service motif was my idea, I do kind of worry that for the logo itself it's a bit derivative.<br>
<br>
I still like the idea of using FS themed signage at the conference itself, though?<br>
