<div> </div><div> One thing I'd like to comment though is that there seems to be redundant in putting in "OSGEO-Ottawa" and then "Ottawa Chapter" underneath. I suggest that we drop one of the two. My personal preference is to keep "OSGEO-Ottawa" but then again it be too long horizontally. The one with "Ottawa Chapter" underneath OSGEO is more compact.... what about "OSGEO" on top and then "Ottawa" in the bottom?</div>

<br>I already mentioned that to a couple of you, but I think we really need a logo to identify the Ottawa Chapter as an entity. It will become even more important if we plan to have a banner for the GIS-Day. So the below are proposals, and now, I would like to know what you people think about it. I welcome <i><u><b>any</b></u></i> comment, or <i><u><b>any</b></u></i> proposal. <br>
<br>All the proposals were created using Inkscape, an Open Source Software. You will find one directory that contains the original svg files created with Inkscape and a bunch of pdf that should be readable with all devices. (the reason for that is that mobile phone don't always do well with svg files.)<br>
</div><div><br>Note that the representation of the Parliament is not finished. It requires an additional hour of work. I will polish it only if you like it and will integrate all your potential comments at the same time. Also keep in mind that the reason, there is so much detail on the Parliament is that is we use the logo with a big size, I don't want the Parliament to look empty.<br>
<br>I have also attached a proposal for a couple of effects that I can use on the boundaries of Ottawa. I would like to use the drop shadow effect. Please, let me know what you think!<br><br></div><div>I also got the following proposals, which I am not really keen on for reasons explained below, but I want to know what you folks think. In the end, I want the decisions we take to meet the will of the majority of the members. And again, even though I don't share the same ideas, I really appreciated and value the feedback that has already been given to me :<br>
</div><div><br></div><div><ul><li><b>Adding a link to our local Chapter's webpage close to the logo</b>. I am usually not in favor of adding to much text to a logo because that defeats the purpose of a logo as a simple picture that easily identify a mark/product. </li>
<li><b>Having the co-chair names next to the logo</b>. Co-chairs may change, the logo shouldn't. And I see OSGeo as group of individual. We co-chairs, work hard ;), but we are here to serve the community, nothing more. I don't think we deserve to be on the logo.</li>
<li><b>Giving credits to Inkscape (the piece of software I used in order to create this logo)</b>. I am still quite uncertain about it. I love the idea of promoting an Open Source Software that is really useful and I was thinking about mentioning Inkscape on our wiki page. But again, to me this information defeats the purpose of a logo. Furthermore, as far as I know, it is not a common practice to see the software used for the design of logo mentioned in the logo.<br>
</li></ul></div><div>Keep in mind that when doing a poster of a banner, the logo is just one part of it. We can add a lot of information next to it. We should have all of the above on a banner, I simply don't believe it should be part of the logo.<br>
<br></div><div>I am looking forward to hearing all your comments and proposition about that. Also I am really good at making paper map, I am not a graphic designer so there is probably a lot of new ideas you can bring. So don't be shy!<br>
<br></div><div>Cheers<br></div></div>
