GeoServer Lists,
Here is a link to the two options for the GeoServer logo. 1) A Pangaea-style, squishing all abstracted continents together, and 2) A fictional landmass option…

Please let me know if you have any feedback.

- “Pangaea” (It’s not really 1 super-continent, but all continents abstracted.)

Could you try to make one that’s centered on the easter hemisphere? That we can let people swap out?

Er, the current GeoServer logo
http://geoserver.org/download/userResources/GEOS/logo has about the same
portion of the world. And PostGIS has even less

Perhaps we could have two, that people can use as they like? I don’t
like the double one, and the pangaea sounds like it would be weird.

In this week’s GeoServer meeting on IRC (logs at http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/2008/09/16/IRC+Logs%2C+September+16%2C+2008)) we discussed the concerns about the logo that have been brought up here, namely:
- The color of the text ‘GeoServer’ in the powered-by logo does not contrast with the background strongly enough to attract the eye, and
- The eastern hemisphere is excluded from the logo.
In the meeting we decided that (1) is not really problematic (ie, those at the meeting all agreed that there is sufficient contrast), but (2) is a valid concern. We plan to have our designer look into producing a variation on the icon with either ambiguous continents (we’ll call this approach ‘No Favorites’) or one that includes all the continents (‘Pangaea’), sticking with whichever looks best in the end. In order to provide concerned parties some time to give feedback we’ll wait a couple of days before going forward with the redesign though.

hello Chris,
one suggestion based on the fact that the image/icon part of the logo does not show our part of the world is possibly to have a pair, side by side, showing the other side of the globe; in ascii art:
/ \ / \
- GeoServer
\ / \ /
otherwise

Hey all, I just put together GSIP 26,
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+26±+New+GeoServer+Branding
At OpenGeo we have had some designers working to come up with a
proposal for some new icons, and hopefully a more full ‘identity’
with fonts and colors. We should also have time to theme the various
websites. We like the new logos and fonts, but if the community has
alternate proposals we could use those, and we should still be able
to spend time theming with whatever the community comes up with. But
we figured it was easier to just start with a single proposal.
The various pieces can be seen at
And you can read the guide, for the use of it, at

Guide.pdf
If we can vote on this soon we may be able to have new sites in place
in time for foss4g. Let me know on this email thread what you all
think.
best regards,
Chris
