Team Logo

[crane]

OK, I whipped together a logo the other day, I'm sure some of you have seen it if you checked the links listed in the first post. If anyone has any input or would like to design one an let us vote that would be fine. I can change the Logo but I would like to find one we all like and set it as the official symbol.
I have attached the one I designed so fell free to comment..

I think it serves Alabama proud :) :) :)

[crimsontide]

I like it. :D :D

[MerlinsLair]

It works for me too. Good job!

[crane]

Cool, I'll wait and see if we have any objections over the next week before making it official, I also stopped and talked to a local embroidering shop about having hats or shirts made. It will be something I plan on looking into in the near future but not at right now. Nothing like advertising with some cool clothes!

Great! I would love to have a shirt with the team logo.

[phr0z3n]

Indeed! We would get all kinda comments like "Oh isn't that interesting" or something, and it will spark up a discussion of Ubuntu!

I should find something out this week about having shirts made. It all depends on how crazy this week gets.

Any progress on the shirts? I'm in much need of some cool threads.:D

[crane]

Looks like they will cost $18-$20 a piece. I am still trying to get a the price worked out. Getting them should be know problem though.

I've been reading about Linux, mainly Ubuntu, all day after I've slowly come to the fact that Linux is unbelievable! Most of my time has been spent at youtube just watching videos of Beryl..

Anyways, I came across this group and I threw together a "logo" for the team. I just thought I'd upload them in case anyone wanted to use them as a background or something.. If anyone wants any changes, just let me know and I'll be glad to do it.

Yeah, count me in

[michaelramm]

Did anything every come of the shirts? One of my friends has an embroidery shop, and I know that the bulk of the cost is the shirt, but there is the digitizing of the logo that has some cost in it. It is a one time cost to make it readable by the embroidery software.

I could try to get up with him about getting it done also.

Yea, the cost of having it put in the computer was $50. After that the costs of the shirts and hats varied greatly. from $15 and up depebding on what was bought.
I have a little money and was considering doing this so I caould have a hat and shirt for Software FreedomDay and the LugFest coming up.

just was gonna let you know that www.cafepress.com does t-shirts plus a ton of other things that all you do is upload the image, move and resize it depending on the application it is going on, then order, t-shirts and everything varies in prices but it is a cheap and effective way to get the logo on things

and i am not sure where to post this but i made this by just looking at the sites logo

Looks great!

Can you make an SVG out of it, so that we can make any size that we need out of it?

Michael

[insanelyderanged]

SVG? is that a Gimp thing? lol

Yea, that looks great, I like it as well. Do you have a larger version? I would like to put that on my Desktop.

[insanelyderanged]

right now no, i am working on a bigger one just to use as a template for various things, but what resolution is your desktop? i can easily make a bigger one, i am trying to find out what fonts it is the ubuntu text is so i can make a full wallpaper with it and i checked the svg out and it is something i have never done so it may take me a little while to figure out how to get it to work right lol

I run mine at 1280x1024. Not sure if you caught the message on irc last night. I think making a larger one would be helpful. Resizing things smaller always has a better outcome.

Thanks for you work you done, I think it has helped to get more people fired back up.
