[foss4g2014] Fwd: FOSS4G Logo Presentation 3

Fri Dec 20 23:07:17 PST 2013

I love the bird!

But when I go back and forth between the two designs, in the one without
the bird FOSS4G jumps out at me, whereas when looking at the one with the
bird my eye goes *to* the bird. maybe it's because it's a bird, and I like
birds, maybe it's because it's red, or maybe it's because the FOSS4G is so
far down in the image that I don't know it's there at first.

This makes me like the first one, without the bird, as the WWW
representation, since we are in promotional mode. However, it *really*
makes me want to put a bird on the t-shirt!!!

Cheers,
Percy

>> Hi Darrell,
>>
>> You can find the revised and final presentation here:
>> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0pyan4s00buozce/FOSS4GLogoPresentation%233.pdf
>>
>> The goal here is for the group to pick a single logo as their final logo.
>> Page 1 has a green ribbon and page two a yellow ribbon with red bird. The
>> bird's shape is inspired by the Junco you sent, however, thought a
>> highlight color might look better than just brown; red was chosen because
>> it seemed to be a highlight color that the group liked and worked well with
>> yellow which was chosen for legibility reasons and so that it could be used
>> as a natural color for the feet and beak of the bird and keep the overall
>> color count low. If someone asks, perhaps we could say its a red finch?

>> 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.
>>
>> Best,
