Hope you don't mind that I also found the cycle to recreate mailet
products
logos using the same font we used for the main logo and changed it to use
relative links to the subproduct images instead of cloning resources
(anyway
the root content is only intended to publish our website so I see no harm
in
directly linking content from subproduct)
http://people.apache.org/~bago/mailet/ (reload if you already loaded
this)
(I also added a newline before the description)
the difference in font was quasi-intentional (i don't have that
particular font but i would probably have opted for a different font
in any case)
IMHO the same font is used then the design needs to be more balanced
and harmonious:
1 the font needs to be the same size as 'james'
2 'API' needs to be changed from black to a colour
3 the colours need to be chosen more harmoniously (rather than
constrasting)
4 the tone weight need to be the same throughout (and should match the
'james' tone weight)
5 the capitalization should to be removed (from 'Standard' etc)
I didn't want to collect more work ;-)
I'll put back your logos tomorrow, but please cut the images correctly (they
all have the first j incomplete)
no, leave them
if you let me know the details of the font, i'll probably take a look
at making at least some of the improvements i indicated
When I had to change the logo 2 years ago no one was able to tell what
was the font and give me an "original" (vectorial) copy, so I did a
search and I found this:
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/florentine/urw-t-regular/
About your points.
1) I guess they will be too big and maybe they are no more appropriate
in the higher baseline. When I completed it I thought it should have
been smaller ;-/
2) I agree. I was about doing that using the gray from the second
central feather.
3) I liked the choice of colours from the feathers. I can't think at
better colours.
4) I guess the "tone weight" is the same, maybe the aliasing make it
appear different.
5) I agree.
BTW I'm not a designer, simply I didn't like the previous logos (didn't
like mainly the random horizontal placement, the bad crop) so I took the
freedom to update them (as I created all of our "derived" logos). You
seem to know the matter better than me.
pardon,
Stefano
