[VisCom] The logos have arrived!

[Michael P. Gerlek]

Tyler, Jason, others:

We can assume he won't get the cards done in time for AU.  I'd like to hold off on making any cards beyond what you need right now for AU, though, so that we can maintain a common look/feel...  I fear now that the logos are ready, they're going to be storming the gates and we're going to quickly lose control :-)

John Close (Push Design) has now completed Phase 1 (logo design/refinement) and Phase 2 (delivery of multiple version & file formats).  [If we need additional file formats, we can ask him or do it ourselves.]  He still owes Phase 3 (ad template, powerpoint template, business cards) and Phase 4 (formal branding guide).  I've asked him for a date on Phase 3, and hinted politely that the business cards are most important.

I think we're okay for Tyler and Jason to start rolling out the new logos -- although I do worry so about people starting to mash up their own variantions w/o VisCom input...  Perhaps if everyone were to send me a list of what spins are needed ("Supporter of", etc) I can keep things sane...  (Didn't I already start a list like that on the wiki?  Hmm.)

I will pass the supersecret ftp info to Jason so he can unpack them for us somewhere nice.

This is great!  Just in time for me to try to push out some business  
cards for a conference next week :)  Refresh my memory, what is still  
outstanding from him?  Did we already talk about special logos for  
sponsors and members?

I also passed them by Aaron (who made the original version) and he  
thought the logo changes were good.

Is there any reason to not start pushing them out to our various web  
sites?  Might as well start using them.  I'd like to see how it looks  
on the osgeo.org and in the wiki.  I mocked up what it might look  
like on the current site (attached), but obviously the grey gradient  
background isn't going to help any logo stand out  So it's not really  
a fair comparison since it really needs a lighter outline to make it  
work on that background, like the old one did.  Looks sharp on some  
plain white pages I threw it on.

Now that I've seen it in context, it doesn't seem so shockingly  
different.  I bet if we just change it, few people will notice... we  
could place out bets.
