Re: [libreoffice-design] Logo request for vinyl banner

Hi Bernard, Drew:

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I /really/
appreciate your help! I've tried to answer your questions inline below.
I still have a few of my own.

Got it. Thanks

Hi Bernard:

Is that the image here?
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors_Guidelines_Valid1.png

If not, where do I find it? I can scale it via Gimp.

The printer is named "VistaPrint"

It looks like the best resolution I can get with them is 75 dpi (see below)

Right (see below re: full bleed)

Full Bleed Size (starting document size)
71.80" x 30.20"
1824mm x 767mm
5385 x 2265 pixels

yield:
Document Trim Size (final size after being cut)
71.53" x 30.00"
1817mm x 762mm
5365 x 2250 pixels

I realize the DPI is not what I spoke to originally. This is actually
fewer dpi (75) I was under the impression that VistaPrint could produce
a high-res banner. Apparently that's not the case. I do have a printer
in Tucson that can do hi res, but it will be about 3 or 4 times the
VistaPrint cost.

I'd like some feedback from you folks: do you want a 75 dpi banner, or
should we go for higher resolution (but more $) Personally, I think the
"LibreOffice-Initial-Artwork-Colors_Guidelines_Valid1.png" (if that's
the logo) will be OK at 75 dpi: graphic edges are straight, sans-serif
font. At a distance (> 6 feet), I think we can get by for a trade show.
If we buy by 10-Feb, we get a free banner which has the following
dimensions:

Full Bleed Size (starting document size)
35.70" x 20.20"
907mm x 513mm
2678 x 1515 pixels

Document Trim Size (final size after being cut)
35.50" x 20.00"
902mm x 508mm
2662 x 1500 pixels

Again, 75 dpi, but up close (< 3 ft) it should be OK.

Is that image available?
