Get a list together

[Luke Jones-3]

So with all the recent e-mails about logo's and stuff that needs to be produced, can we get a wiki page, an e-mail or something we can use to get a quick list of what needs to be done, when for, and any requirements that need to go with it. With this in mind and quick access to what needs to be done things can be done and proposed and produced faster and more effectively I think.

Thanks, Luke

Hi Florian,

I think Luke was asking if there is anything other than the splash
screen designs that also needs to be done by the art project, e.g.
something like the Art Project's to-do list. As it stands currently,
some items on that list are misleading, because they are not under the
Art project's influence - e.g.

[1] Logo for OpenOffice 3.0 (not possible for legal reasons)
[2] Icon design for OOo 3.0 (looks like it's already done -
http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo30MimeType.html)
[3] Design an Open Typeface based on Vera Sans (this is made obsolete by [1])

Could you, or another project lead, please clean up the list, as some
of these issues might be confusing for newer users (it confused me in
my recent emails to the art list). Many of the issues there also
relate to OOo 2, which, given the upcoming OOo 3 release, also seem
outdated (e.g. Artwork for the 2.2 press release). Since we are using
the wiki more often than IssueZilla, perhaps having a "to-do" wiki
page would be a more friendly way of navigating what needs to be done,
rather than the intimidating-at-first-signt IssueZilla. I would also
suggest that the Art project's website be redone and updated (the
timestamp on the main page is more than 2 years old), but I understand
that people are currently busy with other tasks relating to OOo 3.

Regards,
Ivan.

Hi Ivan,

> screen designs that also needs to be done by the art project, e.g.

for OOo 3.0, that would be some design elements like our current art
pages also has. As an example, should we decide to change the seagull
style, we need those design elements as well. Mandatory is, of course,
the splash screen, the about box, and the installer graphics.

Exactly, we can't change the logo or font for 3.0.

> [2] Icon design for OOo 3.0 (looks like it's already done -

I guess that this is done and we shouldn't spend to much time on it. I
like this design!

> [3] Design an Open Typeface based on Vera Sans (this is made obsolete by [1])

Don't know what this should be for? Can you shed some light on this?

I agree that a real todo list for art in general would be fine...

That doesn't mean to say that we don't look at alternative ideas and
concepts.  Just that anybody presenting proposals should realise that
any change to the present logo is unlikely at least in the medium term

Something that I wanted to get moving but have had to put on the back
burner for the time being.  The present font is a proprietary font
(Frutiger) and arguably we should be using an open font for our logo and
other associated needs.  Something based on an Open Font such as
Bitstream Vera fonts would be more ideal from a philosopical point of
view.

agreed. Of course we can think about that, but it won't be used in the
next weeks. ;-)

This sounds good, sure, go on! For the rest, see above. ;-)
