I think there's a misunderstanding here: I wasn't proposing to replace Yusdi's idea with a huge logo, only to add the logo to the poster. You might also want to look at this design for some inspiration: http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-money-with-free-software.html BTW: We don't have to use a white background for the poster. You're free to use whatever you see fit ;-) Some examples: http://flosspols.org/conf/poster.pdf http://www.embeddedlinuxconference.com/elc_europe08/images/Nluug_A3%20Poster.pdf http://acqol.deakin.edu.au/Conferences/ACQOL_Conference/2008/qol_poster.pdf http://www.envirosecurity.org/activities/diplomacy/gfsp/documents/Poster.pdf http://www.crin.org/docs/FINAL%20Conference%20Poster%20(2)%20(2).pdf more available on Google: http://www.google.de/search?num=100&hl=en&as_qdr=all&q=conference+poster+software+-session+filetype%3Apdf&btnG=Search > Anyways, just my 2 cents. > > - Atul > > On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 3:45 AM, Yusdi Santoso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> http://europython.org/euro/img/europython.png >> Does anyone have the original source for the image?
