Basically, you make three variants, usually, when you have +a graphic identity, so it can be used in several contexts: + - the original one (colours as defined, and as it is used on www) + - plain white (for use on dark, monochrome background - such as the +one I linked to earlier) + - plain black (for use on clear, monochrome background) + - those may even have derivatives (shades, subtle radiants or +shadows), but let's keep it simple; this depends highly on a graphic +designer polishing work, in the spirit of the original logo (referring +here, for instance, to the more polished one, white with blue bubbles +and light inset shadow). + +>><i> Here we are, after having been chastised for manipulating the logo in +</I>>><i> the installer screens trying to do our damnedest not to manipulate the +</I>>><i> logo for the background and still make it look good.

We all have only a few hours a day +each to work on what we have. So we can't be all everywhere all the +time. So indeed, there are times when we will not look into everything +that happens, and there are times when we will. The point is to +organize so that reviews happen regularly, and if it's a problem +because we jump in at the least favourable moment for you, it's up to +you to organize the review too and to ring a bell when it's not +happening as you think it should. + +>><i> And when I do take initiative and reach out to council members +</I>>><i> asking "*this* is what we want to do, is that OK with you?"
