Re: Gnome Logo and Guadec Logo Fonts

Hi Behnam,

Thanks for the suggestions!

One thing - the Bitstream font you use for the
"normal" GNOME logo
doesn't match the one that Mairin Duffy made last year,
which is now the
official one:
http://live.gnome.org/BrandGuidelin
es?action=show&redirect=LogoGuidelines

The official one resembles (a lot) the MS Trebuchet we used
to use, and
I think it looks really good.

Cheers,
Dave.

I know.  Gnome Logo only has 'a', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'g', and
'u'
characters, not all english alphabet.  The font of
"GNOME" word in the
first example is NOT Gnome Logo; just the "GUADEC"
word is.  Sorry for
the confusing example; I just wanted to show a real-world
use case.
