[GRASS-PSC] [Motion] Adopt new logo and branding

[Michael Barton]

Although I'm no longer on the PSC, I'm still getting emails. So I can also say great job on this. It is a really nice refresh and update of the GRASS brand.

I like it very much! The logo is simple and impactful, especially the gradient version looks really nice.

Předmět: [GRASS-PSC] [Motion] Adopt new logo and branding
Dear GRASS PSC Members,

As discussed in the 2025-02-14 meeting, our team at NC State University—led by myself, with Sarah White as lead designer, Corey White as front-end developer, and Anna providing critical review and feedback—has been working on a new logo and overall branding update. We have now reached the next step planned in the meeting: a PR for updating the website. The new branding is detailed on the Brand page in the PR. Please review the Brand page screenshot in the PR (or a locally compiled version) and cast your vote on the new branding in this motion.

https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/506<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/pull/506__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!fYOCssB5OElI2uFh0rkxLqULivhQbXV9NtmVf8t97UsFwlaqsIaBNydNWFAco_hGzDs_--bos8PVYtd4KI2br1fWzh0I5A$>

Since branding implementation is complex, here’s what this motion is approving: During the PSC meeting, we agreed on the general direction, specific colors, and overall look of the logo. This motion is to formally adopt the new branding as described on the Brand page.

For practical reasons, the PR updates the entire website. However, approval of the PR itself and specific website design choices are not part of this motion. The web theme visualized on and linked from the page is only a possible application of the branding. That said, you can explore the full website to see how the new branding plays out in practice. You may review the PR independently or in relation to this motion. Additionally, any technical issues discovered later with the logo or the branding are also not subject of the motion such as vector graphics issues with the logo files, their raster versions, or need for additional green color for buttons. This is just to say that PSC does not need to review and approve every vertex in the vector file or foresee all color needs.

Once approved, the NC State team is ready to begin applying the new branding alongside the transition to the name GRASS.

Let me know if you have any questions,
Vaclav
