[FOSS4G2016] Sharing marketing materials

Fri Oct 2 09:29:48 PDT 2015

Hi Anton, 

Thanks for updating the style guide.

Regarding the logo on a non-white background: in your examples [1] the white
outline on "FOSS4G" in the wide banners (1-6) seems to have disappeared in
the 5 slogan examples (or perhaps the outline was "same as background or
"transparent" and thus sort of disappearing in the slogan examples.
Could you give it a try with a forced white outline in the 5 slogan examples

Regards, 

GJ

Sorry for coming back so late on this - my time was very limited in the last
few weeks (and still is). But if I remember correctly there is a marketing
meeting of some sort today(?) between other LOCs - so some of the following
may come in handy.

As for the style guide Gert-Jan pointed out here [1], it's been updated with
links and color/font information.

Fixed URLs:
[2] uses fixed URLs, but they are not available anymore. We could either
link directly to the SVN or the Wiki-media-files (once/if they are there).
Having URLs like in [2] would look nicer though, I think =) In order to
create a 2016 marketing page [3], I'd like to know how to proceed here. Will
static images survive on [4]?

Inspired by [2] I've put together a few banners here [5] and a preview page
there [6], where you can change the background color to simulate the visual
effect.
I did *not* create a 2016 Marketing page [3] (yet) because 1) of the
URL-issue and 2) I'd like some feedback if possible. The more I work with
the logo the more I hate it for being so difficult to put on non-white
background (or anywhere for that matter). I'm kinda frustrated with this
right now...

So if anyone has ideas on how to integrate the FOSS4G-Logo in a better way
or if anyone knows a designer who can spare a few thoughts on that or even
creates a few images/concepts him/herself, I would be very grateful! (I know
that nobody wants to do design stuff because nobody wants to be responsible
for a horrorible look, so I'm even willing to take the blame ;)

Regards
Anton
