[Marketing] [OSGeo-Discuss] Announcing the ​​OSGeo Seal Design Contest Winner

Committees Marketing
1

Benoit,
To avoid any future issues with copyright, would you mind making a public statement on one of the osgeo email lists, such as this marketing lists, with a statement such as:

“I hearby donate copyright of the OSGeo Seal Design, which I personally created, to the OSGeo foundation”.

Benoit, I suspect that you might also have access to subversion, using your osgeo user id and password that you use for the wiki. If not, Alex might be able to set it up for you. If you can’t work it out, then I’d be happy commit your seal into subversion once copyright is clarified.

I suggest putting the seal into the OSGeo logo directories, using various sizes, copying the directory structure as used for the different logo variants:
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/logo/

Warm regards, Cameron

Dear OSGeo community,

Thank you everyone involved in designing and voting for our new official
OSGeo seal!

The votes were really tight and we had a tie between two options: Christian
Willmes’ submission #3 and Benoît Fournier’s #8, but there can only be one
winner. Therefore we had to make a choice.

I’m glad to announce that the winner is Benoît Fournier, who found a
particularly good balance between logo and text elements:

Congratulations Ben and thanks everyone!

Hi Benoit,
I’ll put your logo into subversion.
Would you mind emailing me variants of the logo for the different folder locations at:
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/logo/

In particular, I think we should have:
svg:

png8:
30x30 pixels
150x150
300x300

gif:
150x150
300x300

Warm regards, Cameron

Hi all,
Benoit has created OSGeo Seal versions in a few different formats and sizes and I’ve put them into subversion for him here:
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/logo/seal/

He has improved the quality and crispness of the created images from his original cut, but it would be good if others could look at them and provide feedback, especially if you are familiar with creating crisp images.

Warm regards,
Cameron
