Your point that the logo should not look too much like an existing one is important. I submitted a last minute design (actually I had 3 minutes left) in which I tried to incorporate a cleaner and more professional look like many devs believe is needed [0], while at the same time paying homage to the old logo and it's funky green arrow. Instead of an arrow I used only a green arrowhead and styled it with a hint of a modern location icon seen on many mobile devices. I think it is my best and most straightforward work on the logo. Hopefully, it doesn't look like anything else out there. :^) [0] https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/qgis-needs-logo-210397/entries/419 Regards, Larry > Sorry again. > Radim > > > A simple "it looks too much like Chrome's icon" would have sufficed. > > > > Larry > > > > > >> > >> Radim > >> > >> > Regards, > >> > > >> > Larry > >> > > >> >> > >> >> Radim > >> >> > >> >> [1] http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassermann_(Mythologie) > >> >> [2] > http://www.zivli.cz/wp-content/gallery/2009/11/Vodnik-300x193.jpg > >> >> > >> >> > I also like the idea that money goes to one of our devs. > >> >> > I agre that some refinement to #338 and #336 would help to look > more > >> >> > professional. > >> >> > All the best, and thanks a lot for having taken the lead on this. > >> >> > - -- > >> >> > Paolo Cavallini - Faunalia > >> >> > www.faunalia.eu > >> >> > Full contact details at www.faunalia.eu/pc > >> >> > Nuovi corsi QGIS e PostGIS: http://www.faunalia.it/calendario > >> >> > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > >> >> > Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) > >> >> > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > >> >> > > >> >> > iEYEARECAAYFAlF/qgwACgkQ/NedwLUzIr4K+gCeLg/xSwnDfj4LIuKyf7aiD3Dz > >> >> > UvIAninKkhExlvlhWCNXd/Unl4/Tu6Nf > >> >> > =tTpj > >> >> > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > >> >> > _______________________________________________ > >> >> > Qgis-developer mailing list > >> >> > [email protected] > >> >> > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > >> >> _______________________________________________ > >> >> Qgis-developer mailing list > >> >> [email protected] > >> >> http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > >> > > >> > > > > > >
