Hi Marc,

In our "General Information" brochure[1], we (the marketing team) break
some sections of text with a line that is made up of " ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ "
(tilde's). However, when we go to print, some printers interpret this
line as a group of tilde's separated by micro-blank-space between each
tilde OR other printers interpret this line as a group of tilde's but
grouped together as one wavy line.

We should really be using a nice graphic to separate these sections.
Would anyone on the design team have a good graphic that we could use
instead of this line? We could then use the same graphic in all of our
brochure-types that we are planning to write up.

Maybe something like [1]? The svg and png are here [2].
See an example in [3].
I'm using it here: [4].

I know that the motif was kicked away silently by all of the designers who contributed in last time.

The marketing team would really appreciate it if you could take a look
at the brochure and see if you would have any suggestion(s) for a
graphic replacement.

My 0,2 cts from a non-professional designer:
- The cover page is too black. Why don't you use the same colour as in the circle? For me it has a hard breaking white text. - The cover background colour (black) should expand over the whole page and should not have a white "Trauerrand". - Is it possible to print a professional brochure in high quality with an .odt (300dpi) or do we need a DTP-file?
- The whole thing is, as I told many times, breaking any branding rules.
So if we use it, we should change the branding rules to make it official.
- And IMHO the 4.0-greens (either this in the half circle or in the splashscreen) don't look good with any of our branding greens and so especially the community brochure [1] have a substantial problem by using the official logo with the LibO-green and the 4.0-splashgreen. The last two points are (my personal opinion) "mistakes" of the marketing/website team and! the design team. And we all will get more and more problems with it if we don't solve it. But this should be another thread.

(I deleted my last sentence. If you are interested I can send it per PM.)


As it should be a professional and official brochure anyone should ask a professional designer what he thinks about it.
