[FOSS4G2016] Logo adjustments

Sun Oct 11 06:07:46 PDT 2015

Hi Anton, 

I came across the 2013 style page at http://2013.foss4g.org/Style/
Apparently they had also a problem with the transparent background and
decided to use the logo in 4 styles.
Not my preference, but it's an escape route ;-)

regards, 

GJ

Hi Gert-Jan,

thanks for clarifying! =)
I think we should give all elements (including the "FO" and the river) a
halo, though. I can do that to the fully transparent versions.

Unfortually I wont have internet access the next few days, so please be
patient =)

Regards
Anton
