[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo symbols set

[nicolas bozon]

Hello all,

I have finally been able to put together and publish a first version of the
OSGeo symbols set.

This is a visual representation of the OSGeo projects and activities aimed
at supplementing the Foundation branding material.

A preview of the OSGeo symbols set is available here:
https://nbozon.github.io/OSGeo/symbols-set/

The 48 symbols fall into four categories:
- Foundation (OSGeo fundamentals represented by 'Variations on the Compass')
- Initiatives (mostly based on the compass shape too)
- Projects (derived OSGeo project logos)
- Community (derived Community projects logos)

The set is made of two parts, both copyrighted OSGeo:
- The source SVG documents, licensed under CC-BY-SA
 (see
https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/svg
)
- A cross-browser webfont, licensed under OFL.
(see
https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/font
)

Important notes:
- Some projects do not have a logotype, only logotext, and cannot be
included in the set at this stage (namely PROJ, GEOS, OSSIM and Degree).
- Some projects logos were heavily modified or redrawn, in order to ensure
constistency and scalability. I'm listening to project owners feedbacks and
will be glad to work towards better solutions if needed.
- All 48 symbols are made available as black SVG. The 16 Foundation and
Initiatives icons are also available in color, based on our brand
guidelines.
- This work may not be exhaustive and is subject to change.

Hope you will like it !
