Okay I have an idea that I may regret sharing - because I am not enough of a cartographer to make it happen. <br><br>What if we went for a line work map (no fills or very saturated fills) and people could zoom into an appropriate area for their biz card or presentation subject matter? We would need a consistent palette to go well with the logo and general branding - but I love the metaphor of every member, local chapter, event having their own location driven background.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 5:56 PM Vicky Vergara <<a href="mailto:vicky@georepublic.de">vicky@georepublic.de</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I like the sophisticated.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">But the green on the name cards etc ... its too much green, maybe more transparent.

<div>I like the proposed logo sophisticated.</div>
<div>About topography, I agree with Jody. </div>
<div>I would prefere as background a stylized map of the galaxy or the universe. </div>

<div>
<div dir="ltr">My feedback:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- The topo background graphic proposed is a strong visual, but comes across as vintage / retro / dated to my eyes (steampunk!). It does evolve from our current branding (see
<a href="https://www.slideshare.net/DirkFrigne/osgeo-think-global-act-local?qid=22fda894-eda8-4161-acca-1be6d1a323ce&v=&b=&from_search=8" target="_blank">
slide 2 here</a>), but I am not sure it reflects modern mapping technologies. Wonder if we could go for a blueprint vector+note visualization of the data behind mapping....</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Tempted to use the current light-green as one of the colors for logo3, because <a href="https://osgeo.nl" target="_blank">many</a> local
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Aust-NZ" target="_blank">chapters</a> have taken the color rather than the visual elements as a base, others look
<a href="http://www.gfoss.it" target="_blank">amazing</a> doing there own thing.</div>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
We can share the initial cut of the branding process. It is available<br>
as a PDF here.<br>

Feel free to comment here or on the marketing list. We will go through<br>
a few sets of revisions with the vendor.<br>
