[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo symbols set

[Vicky Vergara]

Hello all,

I know the time it takes to do a design, as I do the release tweets designs
for pgRouting.

Maybe I don't understand the difference with the words symbols and logo.
Can you explain your understanding?

>From my perspective:
The majority of the projects symbol/logos look like their original design
but they lost their color and they "look" gray (or is the gray green in the
guidelines).

if a project has its own logo/symbol, like, pgRouting, baby elephant
playing with a compass, full with colors, is there a reason for us to have
a design change, a gray elephant head with two triangles in the ear?

Do the projects PSC need to vote for their logo/symbol change or is the
marketing committee, from now on be in charge of the logo/symbol designs of
projects and the projects PSC have no vote on that?


As SAC member:
Website:
Can you explain where in the website the projects's  symbol/logo would be
used
If applicable: where the original logos would be used?
Where/how would the OSGeo foundation symbols set would be used.
Where/how would the initiatives symbols set would be used.

Wiki:
In the wiki page we have badges for example:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/File:OSGeo_PSC.png
We are still using the old logo badges, because there is no specification
on the guidelines of how a badge should look like.


Regards
Vicky
