while this is all true, it doesn't imply that to design a new logo we must completely throw the current design away. I think that the old logo is quite good at pointing out what OSM is about (for a part, sparing out the collaborative aspect, but still the "data and not map or poi"-aspect is important). I would expect from a new logo to be 1 individual and unique 2 meet all the technical and graphical requirements for a logo 3 tell a story / symbolize the idea of OSM 4 possibly maintain some continuity with the current logo (ideally the new logo would be some progress of the old one) the proposed design is working only for point 2 but has nothing to do with OSM. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
