[GRASS-dev] GRASS flyer for the new osgeo branding

[Vincent Bain]

Hello Luca and Vaclav,
thank you for forwarding me this thread.

[I'm not sure how pertinent is my comment on this, given I don't know
much of the OSGeo context where this flyer is meant to be published --
soory if I misunderstand]

I would just recommend (just my 2 c., not any kind of claim) to take
into account the effort we made some time ago to enhance the graphical
identity of GRASS, esp. concerning fonts, colors, usage of GRASS GIS
logo. It is probably not that easy to clearly distinguish between OSGeo
and GRASS identity clues (all is more or less green and black and
white...), but I suggest that:
* we keep using the original GRASS "green" definition on this paper, I
mean for the logo only (not titles, I understand they belong to OSGeo
guidelines), or alternatively decline the logo in greyscale;
* GRASS GIS wording (and possibly the slogan) be consistent with our
identity (esp. font).

Besides this, as you said, a horizontal version of the logo is probably
lacking. We could recycle the startup banner layout ?


Yours,
Vincent.
