[Marketing] first mockup of a rollup banner for booths

[Sean DALY]

Gary,

re colors: my mockup was in no way color-managed, I merely scraped the
ring image off a screenshot in the gallery of the SL website intro and
applied no profile.

I do feel however that it is important we use VAG Rounded Light -
Christian or Eben, I want to buy a couple of licenses for that, do we
need several weights, or can we get by with just the Light?

thanks

Sean
