Logo - banner artwork
Hi,
Worked on the logo and banner, etc yesterday.
There was a request for something more square and that ended up getting
me to think about a more squarish layout - so I put together a variant
of the incubator tag line.
http://lo-portal.us/temp/logo2.png
The only real change to the Apache OpenOffie part is a slight increase
of the space between the words Apache and OpenOffie.
So - for the baseline logo then I have the color, b+W and grayscale
wrapped up I think, minus just a couple of 300dpi png files suitable for
printing.
Will finish that this afternoon and send in - if anyone wants that
variation included, let me know and I'll include that also.
Thanks,
//drew

This is nice, close to square. But for a profile image, we'll need
exactly a square. I could crop it myself, but it might make sense to
have an authoritative set of images in the standard sizes.
I don't know if you've seen this, but there are some industry-standard
sizes for web banners. These have evolved by practice and by online
advertisers to standardize things for uniform rates for advertising.
That is not our concern. But the practical effect is these sizes are
widely supported in blogging software and other web publication
software. So targeting these sizes (or at least the aspect ratios)
will give us a lot of bang for the buck. It is like designing a
toothbrush. Check what size the existing toothbrush handles are and
you're more likely to fit into existing toothbrush holders.

I'd focus on the subset of these that are labeled "core" here:

Very nice. Do you have this as SVG? I would like to play around with it
with our new SVG integration and check how smaller visualizations would
look like. Thanks!

Very eye catching! I'm wondering how it will look if we scaled it down,
say, for a header on the web sites?
So...will you be adding this one to:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOOLogo+proposal
I think we should make a decision soon on which one(s) we'll go with. I
could be wrong, but I'm not sure we made a definitive call on some of these.

Hey, how'd you do the feather, and what was your source for that part of
the graphic? It's a little tiny bit different than the a.o homepage one
(which is quite small), but yours looks great! (Note: we could also use
updated versions of the main Apache feather - no changes, just some
better graphics in different sizes for distribution)
Not that you probably shouldn't listen to me when it comes to graphics,
since I'm really bad at visual design. But... when you look at
logo2.png, I can't quite tell if the kerning is right, or if it needs
tweaking:
"A" might move a sqinch closer to the p in the title line
The two "O"s in the title line might tweak closer to the following letters
The "i" in the title line might skootch closer to the following "c"
Oddly enough, I like the kerning on the subhead - it's only the *bold*
characters in the title line that seem the tiniest bit off.
- Shane, who recently read https://www.xkcd.com/1015/ and reminds you
that he's really bad at graphics, so he might just be crazy on this one
