[Aust-NZ] Re: FOSS4G Conference Logo

[Cameron Shorter]

Aust-NZ,
Anyone have ideas re the FOSS4G conference logo?
The key messages that would be good to show graphically are:
1. Australian (or Sydney)
  * Kangaroo
  * Opera House
  * Harbour Bridge
  * Surfing (noting our beaches)
2. Geospatial
  * OSGeo logo at http://www.osgeo.org/logos/
Full colour logo
  * Compass
  * Globe
  * Map of Australia
  * Map with pin on Sydney
3. Open Source
  * Tux Penguin

Maybe we could base the logo on the Australian Coat of Arms, which 
includes a Kangaroo and Emu around a shield.

We could replace the emu with a penguin, put the OSGeo logo in the 
shield, and simplify some of the other graphics.

I'd like to have all comments in by Friday morning, so that we can make 
a decision on Friday.
