Re: [libreoffice-design] URGENT: we need the split logo of the LibreOffice Conference

Hi Charles!

Let's see whether I can help somehow :-)

Well, this is still a bit unspecific - as I said, "contemporary logo"
plus "filter effects" is a bit troublesome. Especially since we lack
professional design tools (= print production ready). However, I had a
look on some T-Shirt printing pages and there doesn't seem to be any
"default resolution" that should be used.

Thus, I "simply" filled the section in the wiki with the missing files -
just take what you need, but please consider:
      * EPS are produced by a non-publishing tool (expect issues)
      * Colors are converted from RGB, so professional CMYK support
        (color room conversion) is missing
      * for some reason (I don't know why), all EPS graphics miss a
        proper bounding box definition (= required margin for the
        branding) - please have a look at the wiki page how it should
        look like
      * the contemporary logo uses a lot of filter effects; the
        rasterizing made the file incredibly huge (8.7 MB)

Sounds quite promising, doesn't it? ;-)))

> From my point-of-view, it would be highly desirable to pick a PNG for
the printing of the shirts. Color conversion is as bad as for the EPS,
and we know what you get - so if you have any details what you need
exactly, then please ping us again :-)

Cheers,
Christoph
