------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-09-13 11:20 ------- Subject: Re: [review] pick a project logo Reply from Christian: ------- start of cut text -------------- Hello Daniel, Another round of iterations. I feel we are getting closer to a final version. I played with the colorings a lot but am sending only a small set which I felt worked better. Sometimes, you think such a color would be better but once you put it in it looks terrible. I also thing these are more towards what people seem to like. I also added some two a little more wild ones in the middle just to see how people react. Because line thickness and integrated or not was somewhat tied last time, I preserved those option to see if we can come up with some decision on these options looking at different colors. What I would like you guys to do: 1 - Pick out the final envelope thickness. There are some with the medium thickness and some with the fat thickness. I think there are enough variety to make the decision at this point. We need to decide that this iteration. 2 - We need to define integrated or not integrated too. This was a hard thing for me because it is almost impossible to have the same color scheme when the logo is integrated and when it is not. Also, integrated is much harder to choose the colors, it gets very hard to manage a scheme where all the contrast works and the colors look good. Anyway, we got to decide now and the new integrated color scheme that I created aims to give it a better chance. I felt that the original integrated color schemes were a little unfavorable to the integration. One warning however, if integrated is chosen and another color scheme is chosen there is no guarantee that it will work. But we'll try. 3 - Define 1 (ONE) color scheme from the ones I created. Then, once that is decided, I would like that people give a brief explanation of what they like or dislike about it, and what they feel would make it better. Now, some people would have NOT have chosen the final color scheme, but those are the ones who need to voice why they did not like it. At this point everything starts becoming very subjective and it will be impossible to satisfy everyone. Colors are the hardest to select with a group, too personal. But the more input I get on the colors the better I can do another iteration only on colors based on variations of the one color scheme chosen now. 4 - I worked my ass out to try to created an apache feather with the same drawing style than the apache logo (which is a wonderfull rendering by the way) and simply could not do it. It is too far away from my own drawing style. So, what I did was get the apache feather gif from the apache's homepage, cut and use it as a feather in one of the new logo versions. See if you can spot it. I am divided on whether I personally like it or not. Actually, I do, but I am worried about scaling and stuff like that. Now, from the looks of it, that feather comes from a vector drawing. If you I could get a hand on that then I can integrate it with the logo better and be able to scale it better. As you must have noted the output of this iteration will be: 1 color scheme 1 envelope thickness 1 choice between integrated or not 1 choice between apache gif feather or not Loren's point about the different scales is right. There is always tweaking for different sizes of the logo and line thickness is usually what changes. We need then to first define the thickness that we want in the standard size logo (which is this one we are choosing). This will be the one reference. Then as we scale down or up I'll have to make changes in thickness to maintain the same look and feel. Usually, only on extreme size changes that matters, like the web page buttons, for example. Another thing, I don't know what is the timeline for you guys. I am thinking that we'll need another iteration to get the final version. And then start working on the different formats. Alright, so let's see if we get closer to the end of this selection process. Yours, Christian PS: Some friends have tried to open PNGs in their internet explorer browsers and get garbled stuff or the resizing issue that Loren mentioned. Could you double check to make sure everyone is opening the file correctly? ------- end ---------------------------- ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
