Logo Request
In the giant image for the logo, the big G does not appear to be
centered in the image. Could we request a revised version with the G
centered? (I, or to be more specific Erin, noticed this when
plastering that image across the front page of a presentation.)
Thanks,
Aaron

Noted - we will send it Monday. Or should we post it somewhere?

A vector version, like Illustrator .AI or SVG, would be even better --
they scale much more nicely. Of course, it needs to have been done
in a vector tool to begin with for that to be useful; vectorising a
raster image doesn't always give the best results. :-)

It would be cool if we could get the logo as a layered photoshop
original. This will enable us to work with the logo over the next
many years.

I like this version of 'M' better. What do you
think about the shorter middle line of 'E'?
thanks

Looking at them side by side, something was bothering me about the
squeezed one, but I think I've figured it out. We need to lop off the
bottom of the point so that it's flat like the original.

Yeah, that does look better.

Cutting out a bit of the center of the M (e.g. having the point not go
all the way to the baseline) would let you center the whole logo without
messing up the R alignment. I even like the M better that way. Seems
more proportional to everything else.
Here's a rough example of what I'm talking about. (It's not perfectly
centered and doesn't line up quite right, but it gets the general idea
across.)

The downside is that the logo would have to be converted to curves
instead of text, but I'm not sure that makes a big difference. Shrug.

For my 2 cents it would be nice if the "G" and the "Apache" and the
"Geronimo" were each centered relative to the image as a whole (again,
just talking about the one giant image). But I'm no graphic artist,
so if you tell me it's better to have the edge of the "G" line up with
the edge of the "A" and "r" then I'll believe you.

Aaron,
Yes, the G box and the Apache text are slightly off center. I think the
box is lined up with the Apache text and the left side of the R in
geronimo and the left part of the M. If you guys like, we can move it
(and the Apache text slightly to the right) to make this look more centered.
