Kay et al.
I can help here. I have the skills and the tools.
Beyond getting the right size, I'd like to propose a few other small tweak
to the rendered logo. My proposed enhancements don't change the voted and
approved concept, rather, they merely some polish to the concept as we move
towards production consumption.
See proposed enhancements:
4. Enhancements to Selected Logo Concept (Kevin Grignon - started

I like the change of "Apache" to gray but am not so sure about its
capitalization. I understand the reason (after you pointed it out to us
non-artists :) though.
The kerning looks more homogeneous but somewhat dense. For example the
i and c in Office seem to almost touch.

Andre
I'll need to access the source files.
Regards,
Kevin

Maybe one of should drop Michael Acevedo a note, see if he already

If not - I don't know of a svg (or any vector based) file for the bug
part of the image - I know how to recreate one properly from the 256px
png image and would be more then willing to do that, and recreate a
likeness of the orb logo design all vector based and a jpg from that.
I could likely have that here pretty quickly - it would be polite
though
to email Michael first however, I suppose.
so - added him on CC to the mail here
Howdy Michael,
Good instincts on your proposal.. wondering if you have any source
type
fies for the jpg file posted t the wiki?

OK, maybe I was a bit confusing, and I hope this elaboration helps.
What I think would be ideal is for someone to take the "cropped" image
I
did that is in svn at--
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/images/AOO_logos/AOO_orb1_cropped.jpg
this is now 217 x 79
re-size it "up" to 275 x 100
with clear lettering instead of the blurring that happens
I have just about NO talent with graphics editing at all.
So thanks for any help with this.
We'll need the original vectors. I think the correct size will have the
Orb be about 70px tall and centered vertically with 15px above, below and
left of it.
If the size is exactly 100 you probably don't need to do anything, but
you
might want to edit css/ooo.css
#ooo-logo {
height: 100px;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-left: 8px;
}
ahhhh! light dawns -- maybe. The graphic height is actually 79 -- I didn't
tract down the css for any of this --but the rendering kept changing it to
100. It looks better alreger actually but then there's teh blrury text.
OK, I'll play some more but it may have to wait until tomorrow.
You may want to remove the height setting.
To adjust the text banner here is the css in css/ooo.css:
#bannercenter {
padding: 31pt 2pt 14pt 2pt;
float: center;
color: #107EC0;
}
Play with the padding until pleased. I like to do this in Google Chrome.
OK, I'll try again...
Regards,
Dave
I also copied Michael...

Folks --
The new logo is rendered on the staging web site right now--
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/
It will not go into the production site, www.openoffice.org until
someone does a "publish" which I have not yet done. I'm not happy
with
the size or positioning of the new logo.
I rendered an alternate version of it -- cropped -- in
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/images/AOO_logos/AOO_orb1_cropped.jpg
This actually looks pretty good *except* the image itself is 217 x
79,
and somehow the web site wants to render it at 275 x 100, which
positioning wise is SUPER, but then the lettering is quite blurry.
screen capture of what happened is at:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Web+Site+with+Proposed+Logos
So, I would LOVE for some creative person out there to take
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/images/AOO_logos/AOO_orb1_cropped.jpg
(cropped version is in svn also)
change it's size to 275 x 100 and make the lettering better.
On the other hand, if you love the staging rendering, I'll go ahead
and
publish it.
