If you wanna critize SWG/OSMF *again*, please, create new thread but don't spam this one. I know there is lot of desire to express pain how communication doesn't work between some very loud minority and OSMF, but please, do it properly.
About logo - new version looks excellent in high resolution, thanks; I suggest that next step would be creating icons with lesser details for each level (32x32, 16x16, etc.) so everyone can replace their art (favicons, applications, etc.) accordingly. Also I hope that someone will move futher and create whole "coorporate identity" for letters, local chapters, etc. so anyone who wish to communicate as OSM mapper can do so without reinventing a wheel. We need a little bit more consistency in OSM image (and I don't mean new version of logo here). About merchandise - I highly doubt that it will change anything. I mean - logo haven't changed that much, safety wests still says fully what it is so they are still useful. However, I agree, that blog post with explaining about new logo and other plans of "touching up" OSM identity would have been nice before actual change. I mean, decisions were already made, so why not just inform people more about it? Yes, there would be regular complaining, as usual, but at least it would be done. I really hope that SWG/OSMF people do understand that most of us don't see them as enemies and want to communicate about their decisions. Not everyone wants to flame, but I'm quite sure that most of us just want to be kept in the loop. Cheers and have a good mapping, Peter Latvia OSM community _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
