Unfortunately, I’m not good at finding fonts. Could you perhaps send several examples with a sample of sans-sérif that you have? :-) >> Not sure about the colors too. > > I'm not sure either.

Oh, funny. :-) It first made me think of an evocation of additive colors, which reminded of TV-related things, such as this French TV broadcasting company: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:TDF_1975.png > I think that each profile should have its own color.

Perhaps I’d use more pastel colors. >> Dual-license GPLv3+/GFDLv3+, so it can be used both in documentation and >> on-line (splash screen!). > > Are you sure?

GPL + GFDL (but I’m the one who made that choice) : http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/graphics/ I think it covers all our practical use cases, and there’s not much at stake anyway. WDYT? Anyway, I think it’d be good to converge quickly, so could you come up with just a few variants of this design, so we can choose from there and be happy? :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
