OK Here is what I've "got" out if it, and what my logo plans are, so please shout if your situation isn't covered,.... 1/. I'll do a series of logos on colours..... - black on white - white on black - black on grey/neutral
Do you mean black on "empty" ?
- black on green - black on teal - so that can just put onto Pauls current page etc I could do a range of primaries too - blue, yellow, red if you think that would be helpful - because while I can do them with transparent background they do still get a bit of dithering on a coloured background I think 4/. I would like to do a version which is "free library system" in french, if you send me the correct wording/spelling for that - we think that would be pretty cute :-)
In french, I think we should write : "SIGB libre" SIGB meaning "Système Intégré de Gestion de Bibliothèque" (=ILS) I don't see a short word used in france for "library system" and SIGB is perfectly understood. French is usually longer than english :-(
5/. You can put your own words under "koha" to suit your situation that is fine 6/. I've done an example page of how I think the logo stuff could be used with the new features etc.... http://katipo.co.nz/gallery/album103/opac_home_concept_teal http://katipo.co.nz/gallery/album103/opac_concept_home_review
wow ! if I could have only 10% of your designing skills...
I'm not interested in protecting the logo for *katipo* but I really would like to protect it for *koha* - does that seem possible?
Good question. That I extent to share a question I have now : Some french companies seems to be more and more interested by Koha the ILS. Some of them being involved in Free Software for a long time, some not at all. So, i'm looking for a solution to "protect" Koha & libraries in France. 2 kinds of protections : * protecting Koha to prevent having a large company selling services on the product, but with specific extension not shared with the Koha project. The GPL say that a developper must give CUSTOMERS the same rights than the one he got. So we could imagine a large company saying to customers "ok, it's GPL", but giving the code only to customers. But I know french libraries : they will never take/have possibility to give the code to "the project" back. And they will be caught in the same problems as with closed software. * protecting libraries : I think we need in France a "label" to say "ok, this company is involved in Koha, know the product & can help you". To avoid anti-geeks that could be a counter-testimony of the quality of the product. My idea (not done) is to register Koha & the koha logo as a trademark in France. Then create what we call in france a "GIE" (Economical Interested Group) and saying : * the trademark Koha is free for any non commercial purposes * the software is a GPL software * anyone wanting to sell commercial services on Koha must be a member of the GIE * anyone entering the GIE must : - give some resources to the community - sign that he will give to the koha project all it's code and be sincerely involved in "free software goals". It's just an idea for instance, pls give me your opinion(s) if you have one. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
