Dear Grant See comments interspersed with yours: > I just emailed logo@ to get a proper SVG logo for using with Scribus. > The 1.3.3 version I'm using has trouble with the non-standard SVG that > I downloaded from http://fedoradesigns.twohotis.fastmail.fm/ - I think > in part because the images are not embedded.

Using Inkscape 0.47 I get the following errors: > ** (inkscape:10108): WARNING **: Unable to open linked file: > /home/t2hot/inkscape_pasted_image_20090922_083418.png > ** (inkscape:10108): WARNING **: Unable to open linked file: > /home/t2hot/Documents/inkscape_pasted_image_20090922_085318.png > ** (inkscape:10108): WARNING **: Unable to open linked file: > /home/t2hot/Documents/inkscape_pasted_image_20090922_085504.png > ** (inkscape:10108): WARNING **: Unable to open linked file: > /home/t2hot/Documents/inkscape_pasted_image_20090922_091443.png I'm sorry you had to go through that process -- my fault. Actually, I received approval and copies of the fedora logos shortly after uploading that version. I've also updated the design to include the approved logos. You will find them here: http://fedoradesigns.twohotis.fastmail.fm/. Let me know if this meets your needs. > Onyeibo, have you tried to print out and use your version?

No, I've not attempted to print-out the design but everything was done with precision and life-size dimensions (trusting that the Inkscape rulers are accurate). Our design (so far) evolved from your initial job description which referenced an Ubuntu DIY sleeve. I only made the fold simpler. The present solution should go well on Cardboard, Photo paper and art paper. Glue and Scissors are inevitable. I followed your link and checked out the origami ... interesting concept. However, I suspect the use of a regular 60-80gms A4 paper there. Those don't always respond well, especially if we want designs that have gradients and fills ... and we're running prints with inkjet printers. I'll try the origami on Cardboard and assess the outcome. > One note on this artwork is that the fold and how to open the sleeve > is needed as end users can be baffled by the sheer cleverness of the > folding design the first time they see it.

I'm not sure that is the right way to go about this. It might be necessary to consult the old-timers on how they published project progress and reports. You might want to consider publishing 1-3 folding alternatives with our final designs ... and leave the choosing to the Users. > I look forward to working with you, > > Grant Bowman > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors You're Welcome -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
