Re: [libreoffice-design] Challenge Continues-Banner
Hi Tobias, Very quickly reply: I like very much your banner! I think it's very attractive, simple and absolutely nice! :D My only suggestion is to take off the radial light gradient in the middle of the background. Or keep it, but putting some floor's (or even border's) shadows on the document symbol. I think it's worth to try. :) ~Paulo On 27-02-2011 11:26, Tobias Bernard wrote: hi the word cloud thing is a bit tricky... if it is well readable, it doesn't look very good, and if it looks good you can't really read it^^ i tried to have a a bit of both in the new version. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challengecontinues-banner-by-tobias.png the space between the words is bigger now, and different for every word. this improves the word cloud impression a bit, but it is still readable. i hope the space between donate now and the document symbol is big enough now;) Am Sonntag, den 27.02.2011, 00:38 +0100 schrieb Bernhard Dippold: Tobias Bernard schrieb: ok, i've reworked the banner, trying to consider all your suggestions, but i didn't understand what's wrong with the spacing (point one in the guidelines) The distance of the logo (in your case the symbol at the bottom of the banner) to every graphical element outside the logo shouldn't be less than half the width of the symbol.

hi i don't know if we have enough fundraising banners yet, but here's one more;) http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challengecontinues-banner-by-tobias.png http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-banner-challenge-continues.svg greetings tobias ps: why does the the svg file have such an ugly preview? -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
Re: [libreoffice-design] Challenge Continues-Banner
Hi Tobias, all Tobias Bernard schrieb: hi i don't know if we have enough fundraising banners yet, Of course not! But we need more different formats (as mentioned on the wiki page). but here's one more;) Thank you for your work! http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challengecontinues-banner-by-tobias.png http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-banner-challenge-continues.svg I like the general impression and the color language of green and grey - this perfectly fits to our branding in a way that doesn't mimic our website. But there are some points I have to comment: As the banner should be used on external sites, we should remove the subline The Document Foundation form the logo. This subline should be reserved for our product and community, the websites www.documentfoundation.org and www.libreoffice.org and officially announced spokespeople. The word cloud is a great idea - I like it very much. But as the size of the words differ not very much, it is hard to get any information from that part. You have to follow the line of words - a bit tricky for the average visitor of a website. The green words stand out quite well, but Help and Office wont tell them not very much. Perhaps we could try to reduce the size of some words and emphasize create (and best, perhaps office suite too) by relative size and / or color. With regards to the symbol I'd ask you to have a look at the branding guidelines: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Guidelines_and_Best_Practices (especially the first and fifth entry about whitespace and elements inside the symbol). But as I already mentioned: The general impression is great. It might become the basis for a long-term banner to be used by marketing and web representation.
