[Marketing] Font official logo

Steven_M_Ottens · December 7, 2011, 11:49am

Hi all,

I'm working on the logo for the emerging Dutch chapter and was wondering which font is used for the OSGeo logo.
I checked the fonts.zip found in http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/marketing/logo but those are not the correct fonts, nor are they in the Official Logo.ai or Official Logo.svg

Does anyone know where I can find the correct font?

Kind regards,
Steven

The logo guidelines did indicate what font was used; along with the colours used. I cannot remember off the top of my head.

The only font I could not match was the strange one used in the handout for some of the headings on the black background.

Some of my old research is here:

http://how2map.blogspot.com/2009/05/osgeo-branding.html

It indicated that the font is “Bitstream Vera Sans” which is available free to download.

Hi all,

Thanks for the help, I’ve found the correct fonts; they are both not free(!).
‘OSGeo’ is done in Trebuchet MS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebuchet_MS - comes with Windows and OS X)
‘Your Open Source Compass’ is done in TheSans Plain Italic (http://www.lucasfonts.com/fonts/thesans)
The fonts.zip contains TheSans.ttf which is both the wrong type face and most likely illegal to redistribute.

Since the .svg and the .ai are both providing the text converted to paths they are in the clear.

regards,
Steven

Do you mind adding that to the wiki somewhere; so we don’t have to figure it out again

And thanks for the research.

Steven,
can you post the link to the ZIP file with the wrong fonts that you
found. I guess we should remove them.

Did you find a best fit free font that we could publish for people who
intend to use the same font as the logo and tag line?

Marketing,
are we functional in a way that we can get things like this done?

Cheers,
Arnulf

FYI I removed them now after reading Steven’s note, so no worries on that part.
