Maybe you can also join forces w/ the Fedora Design Team. 21:12:27 giannisk++ 21:12:44 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines 21:12:50 giannisk, I would most likely just replicate the CMD-tool-output one into scribus 21:13:13 JacobCZ, it's definitely a good idea to keep all the cards similar :) 21:13:18 (in my opinion) 21:13:22 Is there someone specific I should get in touch with for this? 21:13:51 JacobCZ: I think it would be most effective to post on their ML. 21:13:56 Maybe write an email to the Design ML 21:14:00 giannisk, okay, will do! 21:14:01 eof 21:14:34 great! :) 21:15:01 Anyone has something to add? If not, I will be ending this meeting in 3 (three) minutes. 21:15:26 JacobCZ, as i mentioned, logo@fedoraproject.org woudl be the one to talk to 21:15:35 because you will probably want the svg of the logo to use on your template 21:15:45 nb, a'ight 21:15:58 nb: That would be for obtaining the vector files, correct. 21:16:17 Questions regarding the logo, including requests for usage permission, can be directed to: 21:16:18 logo@fedoraproject.org 21:16:18 Please note that this logo queue is maintained by a human being, and that it may take some time to get a response (sometimes a week or two). 21:16:34 giannisk, they also deal with usage permission 21:16:45 nb: Correct 21:17:42 nmilosev: nothing from my side. 21:17:55 Good night guys 21:17:57 nmilosev thanks for chairing 21:18:02 nmilosev: Thanks for chairing, and everyone else for attending! 21:18:03 .thank nmilosev 21:18:04 jonatoni thinks nmilosev is awesome and is happy they are helping!
