Ahh yes, I meant to mention that - I don't really care about the typeface much (well I care, but the existing one looks fine to me). But I don't have it installed. According to the current logo svg, it's "Myriad Web", which comes with various Adobe products (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc). Since I'm using Linux/Inkscape, I don't have access to it, and haven't seen any legal way of getting / using it outside of purchasing Adobe CS. It apparently comes with acrobat reader, but that license does _not_ cover use outside of reader. Or so I read on the internet somewhere ;) So it may be legally OK for someone who has bought Adobe CS to render out the logo with the "Myriad Pro" font. But I can't do it, and being an open-source project, it's probably a better idea to opt for a more openly available font. So, yeah.. I don't have any motivation to change the font for aesthetic reasons, only for practical reasons. > On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 10:14 AM, Tim Cuthbertson <t...@gfxmonk.net> wrote: >> >> I've now updated this form with the remaining options, so I think it >> is nearly ready to go. >> >> I'll let it stew for a few days in case anyone has suggestions for >> improvement before we start collecting results, but does anyone know >> who we'd talk to to get a link somewhere official (twitter / planet / >> etc)? >> >> On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 9:03 PM, Oliver Charles <ol...@ocharles.org.uk> >> wrote: >> > On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 1:35 PM Tim Cuthbertson <t...@gfxmonk.net> wrote: >> >> >> >> If nobody authoritative wants to set up a poll, I can certainly do one >> >> :) >> >> I'm a little bit busy at the moment, but as long as we're not in a >> >> hurry... >> >> >> >> To prevent overwhelming people with options, and after letting these >> >> stew for a little while, I'd be happy to limit choices to: >> >> >> >> * shapes: just circle and hex.
