We currently have high-resolution RGB PNGs, and I could also upload CMYK EPS files for use in print. Color swatches are included in the logo PDF, and I am still working on guidelines for use of the logo in various conditions. <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;"> >> >> 2.

Take a look at the badges PDF posted on the logo page. <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;"> >> >> 3.

If there were any, I think it would need to be the XO, but OLPC owns the rights to that... <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;"> > > Looks like we indeed have a winner, yeah ;) > > Tomeu > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > <a href="mailto:IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org">IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> > <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs <a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://www.sugarlabs.org</a> </blockquote><style> </style> </body></html>
