Hi Zoran, Let's try and meet up at the EU Roadshow. I suggest we meet near the Apache stand (and ice cream machine) this afternoon some time between 14.00 to 18.00. Let me know when works for you. I suggest we allow around 30 minutes. Mark On 13/06/2018 19:43, Zoran Regvart wrote: Hi Mark

Hi Mark, thank you. We have a SVG template[1], would that be OK? I think that the logo with the dune and the text Apache Camel in the third row or just the bottom right variant without the text on a light background[2] would look good. It would be also nice if we could offer both men and women var
