All process printing requires four (or six) colors. That's what process means.
The current "logo" as it is shown on freebsd.org, COULD be printed on 2
plates, as a 2 color job. those colors being black and red.
Possibly. It would still look odd, though.
This isnt an issue with todays modern digital 4 color presses such as
the iGen3.
It's an issue with any press. Digital presses have less trouble with registration, but they aren't any better at getting the line frequencies higher. Indeed, normal offset provides higher frequencies.
It has no problem with registration if ran by a qualified
operator. Now if you are a 80's or 90's printer using an old heidelburg
2 color press, sure.. registration is very difficult when dealing with
small print and screens.
What sort of printer would FreeBSD best be able to afford?
Well, I'm not going into budget issues, but yes you have a point here. I am open to quote any print
job if the FreeBSD Foundation so chooses to do official corporate print work. e.g. letterhead, business
cards, printed manuals, etc.. I would of course give my normal discount as I do with any other non-profit
organizations.
Who says it has to be small? and how small are you talking for print work? on a CD? thats not very small IMHO. One
Furthermore, anyone with experience in the modern printing world knows
that getting high quality (and affordable) printed artwork on a small piece is very simple when using the right equipment.
It doesn't matter what equipment you use. Small artwork with lots of fine detail reduces poorly; if it contains halftones, it reduces even more poorly.
should be able to attain excellent quality at that size. I consider "small" artwork to be < 1in.
I've done several of these type of jobs on the iGen3 we have here at
my office. Anyways, this is WAY off from the original post, So I end
it with that.
Actually it is highly relevant, since a key reason for developing a
simple logo is to make it easy to display and print.
Getting back to the point at hand, the beastie is nothing more than a mascot. plain and simple. But people
are talking like there will be no more beastie representing FreeBSD. I dont think this is the point.
Also, whoever started that petition needs to actually get some inside information other than a "non publicized" (sp?)
anouncement. The true intention of this logo contest is likely to give more of a corporate identity to freebsd as a whole.
I am now done with this thread. Once again, I will end it. (hopefully) :)
