[VisCom] FW: OSGeo proposal?

[Jason Birch]

That's awesome Michael,

the only item that I see a problem with is that the deliverables do not
appear to be very web-friendly.  I would like to see some critical
portions of the brand manual as plain text, as well as various sizes and
implementations of the logo available in web format like PNG as well as
EPS downloads.  

In essence, I want to be able do duplicate this page for OSGeo from the
deliverables, without too much effort:

For your consideration and discussion, attached is a proposal for the
"logo and branding" work I've been on about lately.  It came in at $7K,
spread over four different phases; I think it is reasonable, but in any
case Lisa is scouting for a couple competing proposals so we'll get a
good idea of things.

Does VisCom as a group feel this effort is worth pursuing?

If so, I'm thinking that when the Board has their face-to-face it might
be nice to get them to give their approval (or disapproval) for the
expenditure.  We need not commit to a vendor at this point, but we could
request they approve VisCom to spend $X on the project which would free
us to move as we saw fit.

Michael 

Here is the proposal. I have included everything we discussed, including
brand guidelines.
