Stephen we are using these conversations in part to define the branding standards. It was a fun conversation explaining that many projects arrive at OSGeo with a branding story already defined. OSGeo-Live as both a sub brand and a project (and GeoForAll as a partnership) are in a unique position.

I also prefer [1] over [2], but I would like to see something better than both... Regarding incubation, I think it would be really easy to graduate at this point, so lets make this a priority after 11.0 release. Cheers, Angelos On 07/07/2017 10:23 PM, Cameron Shorter wrote: Re new OSGeo-Liv

Stephen, Each project (or community) will likely want to have a distinct logo. It is useful in block diagrams inside presentations. Or as a logo in an info-graphic, such as the metrics page at: https://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html As such, OSGeo-Live should have a distinct logo which is di

Well, I don't know what exactly the OSGeo standard is for branding, but ignoring that, I would move the heart to be the dot above the "i" in Live, because putting it on the OSGeo Logo dilutes the logo. This presumes that the standard is some like [OSGeo Logo] [project logo] -Steve On 7/7/2017

Strictly from a branding point of view, we should not dilute the brand. OSGeo needs to set the branding standards, and then all project should follow that standard. If the standard is a compass, then OSGeo Live should not change the center to be a heart, UNLESS the standard says the all projec

Thanks James; so that is close to the "live-demo" vs "static-demo" idea. Live distributions were used to provide a live demonstration of a linux distribution for people to try out. -- Jody Garnett On 7 July 2017 at 12:12, James Klassen wrote: > My understanding is "Live" in OSGeo Live comes fro

Thanks Cameron, and by extension everyone here, I understand and support your reasoning. In this case I was just being a messenger from the marketing exercise. The next phase for the website (content creation / migration) should be exciting, once I have a better understanding of what is involved I

My understanding is "Live" in OSGeo Live comes from the common use of the term "Live" to describe a Linux distribution (or variant of a distribution) that is meant to be run directly from read-only media (originally a CD or DVD, now also including USB) and nominally doesn't change what is installed
