[FOSS4G2016] Logo adjustments

Thu Oct 15 01:40:17 PDT 2015

Hi Gert-Jan,

thanks for sharing the link.

I added a halo'ed version of the logo to the SVN [1] and updated the
banners accordingly here [2] (preview there [3]). Is that more like what
you wanted?

Regards,
Anton

PS: I just moved and my ISP is taking its time to enable my internet, so
my answers may take a little time... sorry for that
