Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 02:58 UTC Task Claimed

I would like to work on this task.

michaelni on December 18 2011 03:28 UTC Task Assigned

This task has been assigned to Jagannath. You have 24 hours to complete this task, good luck!

michaelni on December 18 2011 03:32 UTC Resolution

Please draw the spring logo in higher resolution so it could be also used for other purposes than the webpage.


Ill find a higher resolution version for the base logo, i just need a bit of time.

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 04:28 UTC Work

yes i did, except the logo except all are in some 1900x700 resolution, even i have uploaded the .psd file

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 04:31 UTC Ready for review

The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.

michaelni on December 18 2011 14:43 UTC Review

The logo looks a bit busy, that is i think theres too much stuff in there.


Also one idea would be to instead of the background change the letters, like google logos do on some specific days, but its just an idea if you want to try.


The logo is pretty

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 14:51 UTC Work

ok, i will try to change the font or do something else

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 14:55 UTC Work

HOW THE NEW UPLOADED FILE?


 

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 14:56 UTC Misake

is*

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 14:59 UTC Work

i think FFmpegspring12.png is nice

michaelni on December 18 2011 15:18 UTC ffmpeg-logo spring12.png

Yes, it looks nice, the birds are maybe too much for it though, they somehow dont fit in anymore IMHO.


Also, just asking so we dont get any problems if we use this logo in spring. The images of flowers and birds you used to make it are free and not copyrighted?

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 15:23 UTC Work

yes, they are free i guess. i saved it from google pics, i didnt read about ant copyrights about it. so shall i remove the birds or reduce their size?

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 15:40 UTC Permissions

i told the qwner of the pic of using it

michaelni on December 18 2011 15:44 UTC copyrights

Well, "simply" taking them off google pics doesnt ensure they are free for us to use. We could get mail from someones lawyer demanding money for our use of his flower images ...


I asked on IRC about where to find free pics and got this as awnser:


<michaelni> anyone knows of a list of free photos that our artist can use to make the logo without us getting into copyright troubble later ?
<ubitux> iirc flickr has some license filtering
<ubitux> http://animalphotos.info/a/
<ubitux> "Images on this site are under creative commons and are free to use on web sites and other projects."
<ubitux> just animals though
<ubitux> i think i have a few more links somewhere, just a sec
<ubitux> http://compfight.com/ ← the license is displayed when you select one
<ubitux> http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ ← flickr cc
<ubitux> http://openclipart.org/ ← public domain

michaelni on December 18 2011 15:47 UTC more pics

you can also use anything from http://guru.multimedia.cx/category/nature/


i took these pictures myself so using them wont be a problem

Jagannath SRS on December 18 2011 15:49 UTC Extension
