[GRASS-dev] Convenient download of the new logo is missing

wenzeslaus · November 30, 2015, 6:38pm

Hi all,

the new cleaned up logo for GRASS GIS with the bold+thin text is available online [1] only in zip download where SVG requires the special font and PNG not that flexible for scaling since the thin text (GIS) is might be badly re-sampled.

Please, can somebody with the right fonts installed provide SVG with text as vectors and a PDF?

Thanks,

Vaclav

Hello Vaclav,
you are right, it's not very convenient.

attached is an archive containing files I hope you need ("vf" for
vectorized fonts).

Bye,

Vincent

Thanks! This is exactly what I need now. Well, actually what I need right
now is a cropped PDF, so no page and no borders (file attached, done with
pdfcrop).

Hi,

any action item for me? Upload/replace what on the CMS?
Please let me know

Markus

Bonjour Markus,

sorry to have left it inconsistent so long. Attached is the .svg source
file (remember it contains several variants in different layers, like
logo, b&w logo, capitalized text, moto...) where I vectorized every text
object.

Perhaps we can provide it as a "vectorized font version".

We could complete the page with some LaTeX considerations : my knowledge
of latex is limited to my own daily experience. I recently set up beamer
presentations that I compiled with XeLaTeX. For those documents I put
the following lines in preambule

\newfontface\firathin{FiraSans-Thin.otf}
\newcommand{\grass}{\textbf{GRASS}\,{\firathin{GIS}}}

then \grass{} automatically displays the word GRASS GIS in the right
fontface in the document. Maybe we could give some *TeX/Xe*TeX hints on
how to e.g. cite grass and display its icon, slogan, ... maybe not ?

Bye,
Vincent

I would like to see the following files in CMS:

PNG with white bg (logo with text)
PNG with transparent bg (logo with text)
vectorized font version SVG (logo with text)
vectorized font version SVG (all)
full SVG
PDF (logo with text, needs also vectorized and diff bg versions?)
ZIP with all

I usually need PDF for LaTeX and PNG for everything else and I prefer to
download them directly, not in a ZIP.

This would be good. *TeX and also HTML. I personally prefer the non-font
versions but I think the website can handle more versions as long as the
few most important files are at the top.

I've recently used something like in a LaTeX Beamer presentation:

\href{https://grass.osgeo.org/\}{
\includegraphics[height=0.25\textheight]{grass_gis_logo}
}

I'm not sure if I always consider good linking an external image but often
projects provide HTML to include their logo:

Anyone willing to prepare this? I'd then upload and change the CMS page.

Yes.
