Hello Luca and Vaclav,
thank you for forwarding me this thread.
[I'm not sure how pertinent is my comment on this, given I don't know
much of the OSGeo context where this flyer is meant to be published --
soory if I misunderstand]
I would just recommend (just my 2 c., not any kind of claim) to take
into account the effort we made some time ago to enhance the graphical
identity of GRASS, esp. concerning fonts, colors, usage of GRASS GIS
logo. It is probably not that easy to clearly distinguish between OSGeo
and GRASS identity clues (all is more or less green and black and
white...), but I suggest that:
* we keep using the original GRASS "green" definition on this paper, I
mean for the logo only (not titles, I understand they belong to OSGeo
guidelines), or alternatively decline the logo in greyscale;
* GRASS GIS wording (and possibly the slogan) be consistent with our
identity (esp. font).
Besides this, as you said, a horizontal version of the logo is probably
lacking. We could recycle the startup banner layout ?
Yours,
Vincent.

I worked for the GRASS flyer [0] with the new osgeo branding,
the
content is really similar to the GRASS flyer, just different
layout.
Comments?
One of the triangles at the bottom is white (the overall background is
transparent). Is that an intention?
A long term endeavor: the whole paragraph shows bold for me.
Interoperability: I would remove gstat since AFAIU it is retired.
There may be better candidates for that place. For example, we are
successfully using GRASS with Blender (although the heavy lifting is
mostly done on the Blender part thanks to Blender GIS plugin & GDAL).
ParaView may be a better candidate.
G Logo: You have there logo without text with GRASS GIS next to it, so
it looks like a logo. We need to be careful with that and keep the
brand. I agree that we need a more horizontal logo and that we can
have a logo in OSGeo colors (as an alternative). I'm attaching
Vincent's version with text but in OSGeo colors (or close to them -
there was still some confusion when I was grabbing those).
OSGeo logo: It is not there, should be?
URL: Does it need to be a full URL with http://?
