[foss4g2014] Fwd: FOSS4G Logo Presentation 3

[Dana, Randy]

I agree with comments on both the bird and ribbon: blue and green, respectively, are preferable to me.  Perhaps a slightly smaller bird.

any reason to not have a blue bird?
seems more natural to this region...

Last chance to comment on our logo. We're in the home stretch.

I'm not going to go the form route this time. Please send your preferences for #1 or #2 to me directly. There are only very small changes allowed this time. Think: color, text, bird/no bird.

Personally, I didn't think I'd like the return of the bird, but I kind of do.  I miss the dark green ribbon, but she makes a good point about contrast.

A final thought I'd like to add is that I do like the addition of the bird. I think it plays to the "cute", "crafty" charm of Portland and visually speaking it helps strengthen the vertical alignment of the logo something that is weakened when one side of the ribbon is bulkier than the other.

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? http://audubonportland.org/trips-classes-camps/kids-guide/backyard-birds/house-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,
