      • Mineo
        LordSputnik: https://metabrainz.org/supporters uses a detailed one for AB
      • 2016-02-29 06022, 2016

      • chirlu`
        Except Discourse.
      • 2016-02-29 06039, 2016

      • Freso
        Well, yeah. :)
      • 2016-02-29 06053, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        Yeah, at that size, I think the full-detail one is too small
      • 2016-02-29 06057, 2016

      • Freso
        But the Discourse headers doesn't look like the Lobes ones either.
      • 2016-02-29 06021, 2016

      • LordSputnik
        I can't really see the pattern in the Brainz half
      • 2016-02-29 06035, 2016

      • Freso
        gcilou: Hm. It actually looks like you're not using the proper font anymore? Let's talk more after the meeting.
      • 2016-02-29 06004, 2016

      • gcilou
        ( I may have accidentally sent the wrong one )
      • 2016-02-29 06017, 2016

      • Freso
        I'd say using full detail on /supporters is also using the wrong size. :)
      • 2016-02-29 06030, 2016

      • Freso
        At least in that long version.
      • 2016-02-29 06051, 2016

      • Freso
        https://acoustid.org/login used mid detail MB logo
      • 2016-02-29 06020, 2016

      • Freso
        *uses
      • 2016-02-29 06059, 2016

      • Freso
        So.
      • 2016-02-29 06031, 2016

      • Freso
        Let's see a mockup of one or more of the sites using mid vs. high detail logos in their headers and decide next week what path we want to go down?
      • 2016-02-29 06053, 2016

      • Freso
        (I'm almost sure the full detail ones will be too complex for the size of the logo in the Lobes headers.)
      • 2016-02-29 06006, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        I've got a mid-detail MeB mockup
      • 2016-02-29 06048, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        Not exactly mockup though since I replaced the logo and changed the height to keep the text size
      • 2016-02-29 06056, 2016

      • Freso
        I'm pushing 'DR “nostalgia edition”' to next week, so we have two more minutes to discuss logo details.
      • 2016-02-29 06037, 2016

      • reosarevok
        I'd like some detail, and would also like the ugly tall i's to be fixed
      • 2016-02-29 06045, 2016

      • reosarevok
        I have no clue how to do the latter myself though
      • 2016-02-29 06047, 2016

      • Freso
        Leo_Verto: Link it or save it for next week. It doesn't seem like we're able to reach consensus in the next minute.
      • 2016-02-29 06059, 2016

      • gcilou

      • 2016-02-29 06018, 2016

      • Freso
        reosarevok: Gentlecat has started working on fixing the i's, I believe.
      • 2016-02-29 06056, 2016

      • Freso
        Alright. Someone prepare mockups of the options ( Leo_Verto? ) for next week, and we'll talk about it and make a decision then.
      • 2016-02-29 06007, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        Sure
      • 2016-02-29 06014, 2016

      • Freso
        Leo_Verto: I think mid detail looks fine in that pic at least.
      • 2016-02-29 06021, 2016

      • Freso
        Alright.
      • 2016-02-29 06033, 2016

      • Freso
        Bit of a cramped meeting, but thanks for sticking around.

        </BANG>
      • 2016-02-29 06044, 2016

      • reosarevok
        That looks fine to me too :)
      • 2016-02-29 06051, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Oh, too late. Please don't hit me
      • 2016-02-29 06017, 2016

      • Freso
        gcilou: Compare the "e" and the "a" to https://community.metabrainz.org/uploads/default/… - you're definitely not using the same font. :)
      • 2016-02-29 06048, 2016

      • Freso
        (Unless this is what Gentlecat means by fixing the height?)
      • 2016-02-29 06037, 2016

      • gcilou
        Yes, we are completely changing the font to use Roboto Black as I understand.
      • 2016-02-29 06046, 2016

      • gcilou
        here's the svg. Gentlecat, is my understanding correct? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/3e2lgMT…
      • 2016-02-29 06037, 2016

      • Freso
        Oh. Okay.
      • 2016-02-29 06057, 2016

      • Freso
        So my thinking the font looking off is actually the font looking correct. :)
      • 2016-02-29 06006, 2016

      • Freso
        (I do think it looks better.)
      • 2016-02-29 06012, 2016

      • Freso
        Gentlecat: Can you confirm?
      • 2016-02-29 06022, 2016

      • gcilou
        yes :) it just looks different from the current "official" logos
      • 2016-02-29 06028, 2016

      • Gentlecat is back
      • 2016-02-29 06035, 2016

      • Freso
        Gentlecat: :p
      • 2016-02-29 06052, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        that last image you linked looks... weird
      • 2016-02-29 06057, 2016

      • Freso
        gcilou: Any chance the "Community" can be made like the "current" one?
      • 2016-02-29 06055, 2016

      • gcilou
        meaning..?
      • 2016-02-29 06056, 2016

      • Gentlecat
      • 2016-02-29 06005, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        gcilou: are you using illustrator?
      • 2016-02-29 06010, 2016

      • Freso
        Whoa.
      • 2016-02-29 06025, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        if you do, can you send me the file? I can take a look
      • 2016-02-29 06057, 2016

      • gcilou
        haha no. Yes, I was using illustrator but everytime I saved it when it looked good, inkscape made it look like the font was regular (really thin) Sure I'll send it over
      • 2016-02-29 06023, 2016

      • alastairp
        that thing were melange was crap
      • 2016-02-29 06031, 2016

      • alastairp
        new soc website is crap too
      • 2016-02-29 06039, 2016

      • alastairp
        why did it just sign me out of all my google accounts?

      • 2016-02-29 06044, 2016

      • kartikgupta0909
        even I didnt like the new soc website
      • 2016-02-29 06054, 2016

      • kartikgupta0909
        melange was much better
      • 2016-02-29 06058, 2016

      • Freso
        gcilou: https://imgur.com/a/R1TmC - that's the currently used logo and the textfixed.png you sent resized so that they're both 66px tall.
      • 2016-02-29 06040, 2016

      • Freso
        alastairp: Melange had a lot of years behind it. The new site software is putting put to its paces for the first time.

        Robert_S was pretty good at ironing out the more severe ones pretty quickly for the GCI site.

        Gentlecat, logo version that works in illustrator https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/pXT4CP5…
      • 2016-02-29 06058, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        wait, are you editing SVG in illustrator?
      • 2016-02-29 06012, 2016

      • gcilou
        Freso, so you'd like the community off-set?
      • 2016-02-29 06019, 2016

      • gcilou
        Gentlecat, yes
      • 2016-02-29 06020, 2016

      • Freso
        gcilou: Yes, and larger.
      • 2016-02-29 06025, 2016

      • gcilou
        can do!
      • 2016-02-29 06013, 2016

      • Freso
        I like that it was just a tad smaller than MeB on the current one, but with the increased size, of "MeB" that may not be viable anymore.
      • 2016-02-29 06049, 2016

      • Freso
        But at least there's plenty of length to play with, the height is where we run into limits AFAICT.
      • 2016-02-29 06003, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        gcilou: there are original .ai files in the repo
      • 2016-02-29 06024, 2016

      • Gentlecat
      • 2016-02-29 06046, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        let me just fix that logo for you
      • 2016-02-29 06052, 2016

      • gcilou
        ok
      • 2016-02-29 06045, 2016

      • gcilou
        So i'm supposed to work with ai files in illustrator and then change them to svg when I'm done with them?
      • 2016-02-29 06020, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        yes, export as SVG
      • 2016-02-29 06052, 2016

      • gcilou
        alright. Are you doing it?
      • 2016-02-29 06054, 2016

      • Freso
        gcilou: Once you are done with the logo(s), please make "final-logos/MetaBrainz Community" folder in the metabrainz-logos directory and add your .ai and .svg's there and make a PR. :)
