Hi, Speaking of website improvement, I've just dropped in a proposal for a refined - and more importantly _vector-based_ - QGIS logo here: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/6688 I've tried to stick to the original logo as much as possible as clearly many people are emotionally attached to the

I had plans on running a logo contest before we roll out 2.0. Maybe now is a good time. I have had a few people who have said they will put in some money to aid in that kind of project. I don't think we need a whole new logo, but a revamp would be good IMO. - Nathan On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at

Vincent, Re modern-looking and professional, the above proposal tries to improve the situation there. I believe it does so successfully, but then again it's my subjective opinion :) I think the not professional might be in big part due to the absence of high resolution versions of the logo to be

Hi My 2c - I really like Mathieu's evolutionary proposal. At the same time running a contest to see what other ideas we can shake out of the trees seems like a good idea (just be sure to include Mathieu's proposal too!). Now would definately be a good time to run such a contest. Regards Tim

I agree that Mathieus' proposal is an improvement and doesn't radically change things (keeps brand recognigion). It is better legible than the previous version of the logo. But the more important thing is that people should start using SVG icons instead of PNG icons in their toolbars, GUI, etc. -

Meanwhile the word on the osgeo-discuss mailing list is 'awesome!'. I honestly looked at this new GRASS web site and thought I was still looking at the old one (not that I go there much). Rounded corners, wrong use of tabs, poor handling of narrow screens (the tabs wrap and the content gets pushed

Hi! Well there will always be lots of space for improvement and of course all things pointed out by Tim are correct .. Surely I did not mean to copy it bit by bit - but at least .. and that's the major point .. the new page is nevertheless an improvement over the last one. And .. there is some

Hi there! Anyone seen the new GRASS Webpage? I really like the clean and intuitive style with lots of information presented clearly on the top page .. Probably we can adapt it to our new webpage? It even looks good on mobile phones .. Opinions on that? kind regards Werner

Hi Yes I have seen it. With no disrespect to the GRASS folks I think it has enough problems that I would not like to copy it on our site. My (hopefully) constructive criticisms: * its very busy * it doesnt have good whitespace balance e.g. module of the day box with screenshots box floating to

Sadly, I must agree with Tim. Sadly because I know the effort made by the GRASS team to have the new site out, but I cannot object Tim's points... giovanni PS: @Tim, I wasn't aware of the ongoing work to switch to a boostrap based sphinx theme. What are you using for it? 2012/11/13 Tim Sutton

Given what the prior website looked like, it is a vast improvement. Nonetheless, I think Tim's points are spot on, especially regarding balancing white space, use of green, and the drop-down/tab disconnect (the tabs themselves look disconnected to me, and the grey shade for the active tab makes
