The GNOME Women project is still in the process of coming up with a logo. At a bare minimum, some guidelines for incorporating the GNOME logo with other text for GNOME project logos (e.g. GNOME Love, GNOME Marketing, GNOME Women, etc) would be good; e.g. my old university's style guidelines [1] has a specification for using the university logo for creating a logo for each of the different schools (School of Engineering, School of Science, etc.) Specifications like that would make coming up with a GNOME project logo simpler, and the projects' logos would have a unified look. One other guideline I'd like to see - is it ok to just say Gnome, or does it always have to be GNOME? ;-) ~m [1] http://www.rpi.edu/dept/NewsComm/graphics/guidelines.html#Anchor-2.5-3800 -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
