But your proposal would look great too. So I can<BR>> definitely do that change. What do you guys prefer : the current text or do<BR>> you want me to change the text to match the above? Either way, I
like it.<BR>><BR>> Cheers,<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> 2013/11/11 Regie Alam <<A href="mailto:regie.alam@gmail.com" ymailto="mailto:regie.alam@gmail.com">regie.alam@gmail.com</A>><BR>><BR>>> Hello Fabien,<BR>>><BR>>> Great work!<BR>>><BR>>> I personally like the logo with Parliament Hill and no shading on the<BR>>> outline of Ottawa.<BR>>><BR>>> One thing I'd like to comment though is that there seems to be<BR>>> redundant in putting in "OSGEO-Ottawa" and then "Ottawa Chapter"<BR>>> underneath. I suggest that we drop one of the two. My personal preference<BR>>> is to keep "OSGEO-Ottawa" but then again it be too long horizontally. The<BR>>> one with "Ottawa Chapter" underneath OSGEO is more compact.... what about<BR>>> "OSGEO" on top and then "Ottawa" in the bottom?<BR>>><BR>>> Cheers,<BR>>>
Regie<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> On Sun, Nov 10, 2013 at 10:58 AM, Fabien Ancelin <<BR>>> <A href="mailto:fabien.ancelin@gmail.com" ymailto="mailto:fabien.ancelin@gmail.com">fabien.ancelin@gmail.com</A>> wrote:<BR>>><BR>>>> Hello folks,<BR>>>><BR>>>> A long of email that comes with something I put quite a bot of time into.<BR>>>><BR>>>> I already mentioned that to a couple of you, but I think we really need<BR>>>> a logo to identify the Ottawa Chapter as an entity. It will become even<BR>>>> more important if we plan to have a banner for the GIS-Day. So the below<BR>>>> are proposals, and now, I would like to know what you people think about<BR>>>> it. I welcome *any* comment, or *any* proposal.<BR>>>><BR>>>> All the proposals were created using Inkscape, an Open Source Software.<BR>>>> You
will find one directory that contains the original svg files created<BR>>>> with Inkscape and a bunch of pdf that should be readable with all devices.<BR>>>> (the reason for that is that mobile phone don't always do well with svg<BR>>>> files.)<BR>>>><BR>>>> Note that the representation of the Parliament is not finished. It<BR>>>> requires an additional hour of work. I will polish it only if you like it<BR>>>> and will integrate all your potential comments at the same time. Also keep<BR>>>> in mind that the reason, there is so much detail on the Parliament is that<BR>>>> is we use the logo with a big size, I don't want the Parliament to look<BR>>>> empty.<BR>>>><BR>>>> I have also attached a proposal for a couple of effects that I can use<BR>>>> on the boundaries of Ottawa. I would like to use the drop shadow effect.<BR>>>>
Please, let me know what you think!<BR>>>><BR>>>> I also got the following proposals, which I am not really keen on for<BR>>>> reasons explained below, but I want to know what you folks think. In the<BR>>>> end, I want the decisions we take to meet the will of the majority of the<BR>>>> members. And again, even though I don't share the same ideas, I really<BR>>>> appreciated and value the feedback that has already been given to me :<BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>> - *Adding a link to our local Chapter's webpage close to the logo*.<BR>>>> I am usually not in favor of adding to much text to a logo because that<BR>>>> defeats the purpose of a logo as a simple picture that easily identify a<BR>>>> mark/product.<BR>>>> - *Having the co-chair names next to the logo*. Co-chairs
may<BR>>>> change, the logo shouldn't. And I see OSGeo as group of individual. We<BR>>>> co-chairs, work hard ;), but we are here to serve the community, nothing<BR>>>> more. I don't think we deserve to be on the logo.<BR>>>> - *Giving credits to Inkscape (the piece of software I used in order<BR>>>> to create this logo)*. I am still quite uncertain about it. I love<BR>>>> the idea of promoting an Open Source Software that is really useful and I<BR>>>> was thinking about mentioning Inkscape on our wiki page. But again, to me<BR>>>> this information defeats the purpose of a logo. Furthermore, as far as I<BR>>>> know, it is not a common practice to see the software used for the design<BR>>>> of logo mentioned in the
logo.<BR>>>><BR>>>> Keep in mind that when doing a poster of a banner, the logo is just one<BR>>>> part of it. We can add a lot of information next to it. We should have all<BR>>>> of the above on a banner, I simply don't believe it should be part of the<BR>>>> logo.<BR>>>><BR>>>> I am looking forward to hearing all your comments and proposition about<BR>>>> that. Also I am really good at making paper map, I am not a graphic<BR>>>> designer so there is probably a lot of new ideas you can bring. So don't be<BR>>>> shy!<BR>>>><BR>>>> Cheers<BR>>>><BR>>>> _______________________________________________<BR>>>> Ottawa_users mailing list<BR>>>> <A href="mailto:Ottawa_users@lists.osgeo.org" ymailto="mailto:Ottawa_users@lists.osgeo.org">Ottawa_users@lists.osgeo.org</A><BR>>>> <A
