The FODEM logo banner has been ordered by developers without involving the Design Team. This might have caused Branding issues I didn't know about before I looked at the photo: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9MZR46ZEuS8/TU1xqu34pxI/AAAAAAAAAuk/nuJEHLD_Aq4/s1600/P1040877.JPG It seems that the white space rules are disregarded and the color has has turned to a more yellow tone during print processing... > > Good.

In my eyes it's a bad thing. :-( Even if someone could argue that there is plenty of empty space around a banner, the visual impression depends on the white area around the logo. A logo with too less white space doesn't look professional to me, it "can't breath". The white space recommendations in the Branding Guidelines are *minimum* sizes - it is no problem to leave much more space around the logo. I don't think that this last enlargement provides any improvement over the smaller version (as I can't imagine any situation on a fair, where these differences become relevant for readability). > > BRB > > Standing by. > > How do we make sure that Bernhard is in the loop? Quite easily: Keep posting on this list. At least once in 24h I try to read all the LibO mails I got. I thought I would be quite fast at the moment: I've been online until 00:50h last night before I went to bed, got up 4 1/2 hours later and took my chance to have a look at my mails right after 08:00 here at work. If you decide to discuss and order your banner in this short timeframe, nobody here in Europe can react (perhaps except someone being even more a night-owl than myself).
