Re: [libreoffice-design] designing a logo for the LibreOffice conference
Hi Nik, * I hope you don't mind that I renewed your ZIP file with the original green values from RGB that have changed slightly by converting them to CMYK and back to RGB. I added a whitespace area to the logo to avoid interference with other graphics and text around the logo. This area is larger than the one on the main logo (from half the width to the full width of the symbol), because in the right part the logo is higher (due to the Eiffel tower and the subline). Even if the website needs a logo cut down slightly, I think we should ask for the full size wherever possible. What do you think? Nik: Could you have a look at the ZIP content, if it is still the quality you provided? Could you or somebody else add the whitespace to the EPS files and the greylevel/inverted files too? Do you think we need SVG files in CMYK color space? (As Inkscape doesn't include anything but RGB in it's files, I can't create them - perhaps take Nik's SVG as CMYK? Then they should get the whitespace too and be added back to the ZIP file.)

Re: [libreoffice-design] designing a logo for the LibreOffice conference
Hullo Design! I've whipped up a wallpaper using the Paris Conference logo which I've uploaded here; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:ScatterWallpapers_ParisConf.jpg ... and linked to here (Conf logo proposals page); http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_conference_logo#Proposals ... and here (Marketing Wallpapers page); http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Wallpapers#LibreOffice_Wallpapers Drew was generous enough to shoot me a CC image last night so I've just used that. Admittedly I didn't go hunting around for other images, since Drew did the hard work for me. It features the Louvre and I've incorporated the green-corner and scatter motif in the geometry. Right now it only fits the resolution of my 15inch macbook, but I can resize if I know what it will be used on. I haven't specified a license because I didn't ask Drew about the license particulars of the Louvre image. While this pic is a nice night-time shot, I'd love to get my hands on a good (High quality) day-time shot of Paris if anyone has one buried on their HDD? ... Also, this Design necessitated use of an INVERTED conference logo which wasn't part of the initial zip I uploaded. I've remedied that =) ; http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Conf-logo.zip Let me know what y'all think. -Nik On 5/27/2011 1:43 AM, drew wrote: ---snip 8--- See attached file (CC license is good on this one, but it's a tad small perhaps..) - The Louvre - Anyway, doesn't get more Paris than that for an image, in my mind..but I'm not French..so who knows? -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi Charles, I haven't been able to catch up with the mails in my inbox (still about 100 to read), but this has to be addressed, if nobody repiled in the meantime: Charles Schulz wrote: [...] I 'll use the logo as it is on the conference pages and brochures for the moment.. You're free to use any logo for private usage. But if you want to have an offiicial LibreOffice logo for the conference, you are *not* the entity to decide about it.

Re: [libreoffice-design] designing a logo for the LibreOffice conference
Hi Nik, Paris at night ... just a quick remark concerning the aesthetics and the general idea of the wallpaper - awesome! Great balance, cool idea to use the right upper edge for the motif, and having buildings shaped like the triangle itself! fun Given your great wallpaper, shouldn't we ask Charles to work even harder to reserve the Louvre for the conference? /fun The only littlenitpick (tm) would be the The Document Foundation subline which seems to miss a line of pixels at the bottom - making the text less readable. Personally, I would even get rid of the subline ... although its an official event. But this might only be me.

Re: [libreoffice-design] designing a logo for the LibreOffice conference
I like the way you reused the triangle for the A - and the rest of the line fits very well with the triangle due to the special font you used. Together with the large triangle at the upper right and the tight connection among the lines of text it provides an impression of compact power and strength. I like this kind of logos - but what they convey is different from the feeling I get when looking at the LibreOffice logo and branding. For me LibreOffice is light and open. It wants to be inclusive and really libre. I don't know if you understand what I mean. sorry, but not really :) i guess light means big spacee between objects and maybe light backgrounds or thin fonts, but i don't really understand what you mean with inclusive and really libre. Our branding - the logo with bold green and regular grey letters, the document symbol and icons with rounded corners and small borders as well as the Scatter motif - creates a certain branding language. I'd like to see this language and the look-and-feel it provides be consistent among all the official design being used to represent LibreOffice. Even if you used the colors and the font of our branding, your design doesn't match exactly what I think is important to keep our design consistent. what i don't understand too, is why other proposals for this logo fit the branding better, e.g. nik's proposal doesn't use the same colors the logo uses, and also a different font. concerning the eiffel tower, i think it is really overused. EVERYTIME something takes place in paris or even in france, you can be sure there will be he eiffel tower somewhere. i would like to go for something new instead, such as the libo triangle in the word paris or another idea. it could be an idea for future conferences to always use the triangle instead of one letter. generally, i would use that triangle more often in libreoffce-designs. the motif was a good start, but this would be a great occasion to establish it even more. another thing i think is important is that we have one general logo for conferences (libreoffice conference) and then a localized part of logo (paris 2011) that changes for every conference. tobias -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

We may have either one specific logo, or a generic logo for all the future LibreOffice conference with only the name of the location changing or slightly amended graphically. While Charles told me, that he personally don't like the skyline graphics we had on some of the OOoCon logos, I think it would be good for our branding, if we had a generic logo dedicated to all LibreOffice conferences with some modifiable parts: The main visual should stay the LibreOffice logo (with TDF subline as official community event). As Charles already mentioned, the name of the location is necessary. I'd like to see the number in the line of LibreOffice conferences too, but this might mean that we have to localize the logo (1st / 1ere / 1ste)... Additionally I think of a constant visual element for all conferences as well as an area for a dedicated graphic for the specific event. I don't know if I'll have the time to work on this topic during the next days (I'll have to attend a congress at Hamburg until Tuesday), so I would be glad if you don't hesitate to comment, draft and design... Now I took the time and tried to do something graphically to show you what I mean: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibOCon_logo.png Central part is the official LibreOffice logo - even with the other content of the logo, the main focus stays on this logo. I added a part of the scatter motif (tried first to just cut it off at the border, but it didn't look good), moved some of the triangles around to keep a more or less balanced impression. This part could be considered as the constant part of the logo - perhaps as basis for other community logos too. Didn't add 1st or 1ere, because this would have to become translated and could have not been positioned in front of the LibO logo, what would be necessary IMHO if we want to call the conference 1st LibreOffice Conference instead of LibreOffice 1st Conference. Finally added a graphic that could be considered as specific for Paris (in fact it isn't - the barét hat can be taken as symbol for France in general, but for other regions too) - just to show you what I meant with a specific graphic. I positioned the hat in a way that it resembles the cut-off corner of the document symbol.

Do you think I managed to describe what I want to convey with the conference logo? You did, at least for me. To me the logo is enough like that and it's beautiful and simple. But let's get rid of the hat, it's awful and nobody knows why people think French wear that hat :-) Could you provide any other visual idea to describe Paris (without a skyline you don't like)? Such an element in the logo could allow the team working on future conferences to identify better with their dedicated logo...

Hi Tobias, all I'm sorry to be way back with my mails (still about 150 to be read). Thanks for your proposals! I'll comment on them during the next days.

Re: [libreoffice-design] designing a logo for the LibreOffice conference
Bernhard, I have the name that I do because that was what I used when I first signed up for GMail. I'm not too comfortable giving out my real name on the Internet. Please do not think that I want you to think of me as a king; the name I really wanted was already taken so I just reversed the two. As for the Scatter motif triangles, it sounds like a good idea. Do you have an image showing exactly what you mean by this? I'm new to working on open source projects and I wanted to contribute to help LibreOffice become the best application that it can be. ~ M.

Re: [libreoffice-design] designing a logo for the LibreOffice conference
Hi ... (I'd prefer to talk to real people using their real name - and I definitely won't call you King or Duck) King Duck schrieb: Is there a way to take a look at logos from previous conferences? We didn't have any previous LibreOffice conference, so we can start more or less right from the beginning. What we did in OpenOffice.org, can be found here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOo_Conference_Logos I do not speak French, but I might be able to help in designing the new logo. This would be great! What do you think about the points I mentioned below (as you didn't cut off the rest of the mail, I can refer there too)? Perhaps we could use a group of three or four of the Scatter motif triangles (as outlines?) for the consistent logo part? Just an idea...
