Gary - many thanks, I was unaware the assets were publicly available as SVGs, this will be helpful when we set up merchandise ("swag")
I don't have a vector package handy but for my needs imagemagick (although a raster engine and ill-suited to serious vector manipulation) offers a simple way to convert the raw blobs into transparent-background PNGs on the command line: <snip> $ convert +antialias -density 300 -background none -resize 44x44 computer-xo.svg computer-xo.png </snip> For different colors I'll try editing the SVG blob directly. thanks Sean On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 3:50 AM, Gary C Martin <g...@garycmartin.com> wrote: > Hi Sean, > > On 30 May 2009, at 00:58, Sean DALY wrote: > >> Christian, Eben >> >> I'm not sure if you are on sugar-devel but this is I think an >> outstanding opportunity for Sugar branding, "celebrating" Sugar >> interface.iconography and greeting children. >> >> I know nothing about the plymouth boot animator, but i deduce that >> consecutively named files will do the trick >> >> I'm willing to attack this but before I try scraping screenshots, do >> you guys have any interface assets i could grab? > > The logo vector SVG's at: > > http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Logo > > ...are a good start. > > All of Sugar's UI icon art work is also in SVG format, good place to have a > poke about is: > > > http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar-artwork/repos/mainline/trees/master/icons/scalable > > For example, you'd find an XO child icon in device, called computer-xo.svg > > FWIW, on a Mac here, you need to save an svg (the raw blob) to your local > machine and then view it (Quick Look or open again in Browse will do (Browse > will let you cmd + to render an svg larger)).
