> Other Changes/Notes:
>
>    - Year has been updated to 2014
>     - Font is from Presentation#2, Logo#1 (winner of vote)
>     - Ribbon is from Presentation #2, Logo#2 (winner of vote)
>     - "10th Anniversary" text was added to the ribbon; "2004-2014" is
>    more difficult to read/interpret, also don't want 2004 to be a point of
>    discussion; "10 years of open geospatial" is too long
>     - Page #1 has a green ribbon (winner of vote); color has been changed
>    to match OSGEO logo highlight color; green must be lighter than original
>    green in order from brown text to be legible
>     - Page #2, has a yellow ribbon and a bird; yellow was chosen because
>    it is again light in color to help with legibility, and also can be used as
>    a natural color for the feet and beak of the bird and keep the overall
>    color count low (this can be a three or four color logo depending on
>    whether or not the log background is used).
>     - Interior of the log has been given a stronger color, similar to
>    that used in Presentation #1
>
> Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. If there are
> substantial change requests from the group at this point we can talk.
