Re: [OSM-talk] OSM New Logo Proposal

Like it. As the current trends in graphic design go it fits right in. Less clutter, flat, clear. Colours are nice, but would probably need more discussion. A specific font for the word OpenStreetMap also makes sense in terms of CI considerations. I cannot comment on whether OSM needs a new logo

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM New Logo Proposal

Most of what I agree with has already been said. If any media, such as lo-fi print or t-shirts calls for a simplified design, there's no problem going with it. This has been done. The good thing about the general concept of our logo (lens+map) is that it will be recognizable in either case. These

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM New Logo Proposal

IMO The current logo works in large scale and 16x16 as well. I don’t know of use cases where smaller is needed. Also the colours in the current logo is pleasant to me, and represents a map. The 0’s and 1’s is a clear reference to the digital database. I think if we need to simplify the current

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM New Logo Proposal

Normal practise is for the "marketing department" to have the logo available in a selection of forms, for different purposes. Think of different formats (square, 16:9, full-width banner etc), different resolutions, different colour depths, perhaps a monochrome version etc. In order to protect the

blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } Im not a designer, but standard wisdom on logos is something that works at multiple scale with few substantial differences is

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM New Logo Proposal

Sure there is no need or no urge to change a logo, no timeline neither, but this proposal triggers a discussion, so let's see where it goes. The image of the project is something that people can care of, why not? I personally find the 'negative magnifier' elegant, and the disappearance of

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM New Logo Proposal

I think it is too early to redesign the logo itself, but I like the idea of the wordmark. Incorporating the wordmark with the existing logo is much more preferred. Aun Johnsen > On Oct 14, 2016, at 19:35, talk-requ...@openstreetmap.org wrote: > > What do you think of it?

I suspect that was exactly the kind of thing Elio was trying to avoid . That said, I'm not convinced that yet another iteration of the magnifying glass logo makes a lot of sense. Logos with the basic theme are a dime a dozen and ours employs memes that are not obvious at all today on top of

I like it a lot, although it's a pity the zeros and ones are missing, maybe you could give it a try and integrate something? Cheers, Martin sent from a phone > Il giorno 14 ott 2016, alle ore 16:36, Elio Qoshi ha > scritto: > > What do you think of it?

[OSM-talk] OSM New Logo Proposal

Hi there, Elio here, Designer and Open Source contributor from Albania. Based on the new Donation Initiative Logo, I thought it would be a good time to discuss around adapting a new logo which is more suitable for print, smaller displays and generally a broader variety of backgrounds. Having
