Hi,<br>
<br>
I like the update<br>

&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I&#39;m not the world&#39;s best graphic designer, but I learned a few \
things<br> &gt; &gt; when I worked in a publishing company and have some graphic \
designer<br> &gt; &gt; friends, and though the work done is a great starting point I \
have a<br> &gt; &gt; few tips for improvements.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Obivously there&#39;s a lot of &quot;personal preference&quot; in this, but \
I&#39;ll<br> &gt; &gt; share my comments so it&#39;s hopefully informative along with \
an updated<br> &gt; &gt; design. If people agree that&#39;s cool, if not that&#39;s \
cool too.<br> &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; - We should use the same font as the KDE websites/other artwork. A<br>
&gt; &gt; font is just as important to an identity as the logo. You can<br>
&gt; &gt; recognise several brands (i.e CocaCola) just from the font alone. I<br>
&gt; &gt; /think/ we use bold Droid Sans, ideally I&#39;d like to check.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; - Never stretch a font, it becomes a completely different font if you<br>
&gt; &gt; do. If you stretch a font it&#39;s saying you know better than the font<br>
&gt; &gt; artist.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; - Equally never stretch an image without keeping the aspect ratio. It<br>
&gt; &gt; immediately looks wrong.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; - Font shadows should generally go the same direction. You<br>
&gt; &gt; subconciously automatically when seeing shadow&#39;s guesses \
illumination<br> &gt; &gt; direction - if it&#39;s inconsistent you&#39;ll feel \
something is wrong, even<br> &gt; &gt; if you can&#39;t identify what, like a bad 3D \
movie.<br> &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Tip: Don&#39;t do drop shadows yourself with copying and pasting use in<br>
&gt; &gt; built SVG drop shadows with a filter, it&#39;s easier and everything is<br>
&gt; &gt; smoother and blurred out correctly. :-)<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; - Objects should never touch the edge of a page, and margins should be<br>
&gt; &gt; symetrical / equally distributed. Otherwise things looked \
&quot;cramped&quot;.<br> &gt; &gt; So the KDE logo and writing &quot;KDE&quot; is \
fine, but the distance between<br> &gt; &gt; &quot;Working Together&quot; and the \
left edge should be the same as &quot;Join the<br> &gt; &gt; Game&quot; and the right \
edge.<br> &gt; &gt;<br>

&gt;<br> &gt; &gt; Also we should maybe use the default KDE 4.8 wallpaper, as it will \
be<br> &gt; &gt; out before Fosdem.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
