Roy, I'd be happy to look at your drafts and offer feedback. I've worked a lot with designers in the past, so I can help steer the document so that it is helpful to the designer, and insure the process goes smoothly. I wish I could take on a more active role, but I'm already involved in a pro-bono Web site project that is taking up my volunteer time. - David --- David Cloutman <[log in to unmask]> Electronic Services Librarian Marin County Free Library -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Roy Tennant Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 6:46 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] Logo next step Having brought up the question of a Code4Lib logo, and then forcing not one, but two, votes on you all I realize I have been remiss in not taking the next step. If I didn't know any better, I would think that I've been distracted recently by, uh, some sort of public relations disaster or something. But anyway, I digress. A month ago, at the end of the second vote[1] that determined we would work with Stephanie Brinley, I called for volunteers to work on an ad hoc task force to shepherd the process. As Leslie Johnston said at one point "The key to working with a professional is in identifying the design "program" < what the organization's "story" is, who its community is, and who you want to get your message to with the branding, as well as identifying what uses the logo will be used for < print, promotional items (t-shirts, hats, temporary tatoos, whatever), online < which has on effect on the deliverables, e.g. file sizes and formats." David Cloutman also talked about developing a "requirements document" that could be vetted on the list. I suggest drafting something of no more than one page in length to provide such background and guidance. I and whomever wishes to join me will draft it, post it to the list for wider feedback, revise it based on that feedback, and contact Stephanie. I will begin this now, so if you want to be involved please let me know.
