That reminds me. I almost, but not quite (my poor forward planning
beat me) turned up to SugarCamp Paris in a t-shirt swag with the Sugar
home favourites ring, the cursor over the XO, and the palette pop-up
menu open with my nick clearly showing – how better to get to know
everyone's names ;-)
Thumbs up for customised swag***, as it costs no more than to print
some pre built default image!
*** note to self, perhaps at some point build customised Sugar swag
generator script back end; user nick and colour being the obvious
inputs.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [SoaS] Request for Artwork: Boot Screen
Gary - many thanks, I was unaware the assets were publicly available
as SVGs, this will be helpful when we set up merchandise ("swag")
I don't have a vector package handy but for my needs imagemagick
(although a raster engine and ill-suited to serious vector
manipulation) offers a simple way to convert the raw blobs into
transparent-background PNGs on the command line:
$ convert +antialias -density 300 -background none -resize 44x44
computer-xo.svg computer-xo.png
For different colors I'll try editing the SVG blob directly.
thanks

Re: [Sugar-devel] [SoaS] Request for Artwork: Boot Screen
wow Gary you were up all night on that Yes by all means back on list I really like the logo cycling through our colors, it's a "golden rule" of marketing to not change logo colors and we break it with panache (each press release PDF has a different color theme too) i want to mock up with kid avatars around Activity icons I build animated GIFs the old-fashioned imagemagick way: $ convert -delay 20 progress-*.png animation.gif I'll upload something today thanks Sean On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 4:59 AM, Gary C Martin wrote: > Hi Folks, > > Just to get a basic, safe, default starting point in there, I've uploaded > one simple treatment to: > > > http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Boot_Logo#Sugar_Boot_Logo_Animations > > Will try to upload a couple more tomorrow. > > Night, > --Gary > > P.S.

[Sugar-devel] [SoaS] Request for Artwork: Boot Screen
Hi folks, sorry for the short notice, but this is rather urgent. I've been spending yesterday afternoon to update the packages in our SoaS Yum repo to reflect the changes for Fedora 11. As it turned out, the plymouth package has been partly rewritten, and I was wondering (also with regard to #709), how we wanted to deal with a new boot screen. For now, I've just implemented the old Sugar logo again, but we might also want to have something more shiny (probably with a progress bar). I'm not really that good at art and the Sugar logo thing there was at first nothing more than a quick hack, so it'd would be really great if someone could have a look and work on such a boot screen. OLPC is currently doing the same for their 1.5 software release, which gives us a good possibility to have a look at the file structure: http://www.freedesktop.org/~halfline/olpc.tar.bz2 Please let me know if there's anything I can help with. Thanks, --Sebastian ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
