I like the fact that the actual logo is independent of the +"Mageia" word. You could then easily use the logo alone where the +situation presents itself. Nice logo to use for branding purposes. I +imagine you could then adapt it to a defined colour scheme if there is +on picked for the logo/website? Maybe, you could work out some examples +of coloured versions to show how this would look? + +Nice. + +Marc + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="001133.html">[Mageia-discuss] Mailist etiquette -- gentle reminder +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="001140.html">[Mageia-discuss] Artwork - Mageia Logo contest +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#1134">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#1134">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#1134">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#1134">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
