Great job! IMHO, I think that we should exert more
control over how the logo
will be integrated, and in this case my suggestion is to provide some
spacing around the logo as well as to stylize the edges so that we don't
have a bland square. In other words, I think we should integrate the white
logo border into the logo itself (i.e. something more like the frame
suggested in my e-mail). This will ensure more professional look in those
situations where a white background becomes necessary (and this will likely
be in a majority of places). Please see attached mock-up for a possible
solution (perhaps we should do the same for the large logo?).
As long as there's dark on bright contrast, there's no need for a frame
and I think it would look clumsy. I have to do something for the bright
on dark case, though, so good point :)
Apart from the previous point, I am also thinking that
we should make sure
that penguin's belly is always white as this is also a part of the
identifying trademark. As a matter of fact, I am not sure whether we should
allow the logo in any other background color than white...
Lets not behave like control freaks ;)
For bright background colours, the penguin works fine unfilled.
Imagine it being printed on a bright blue t-shirt. Given the SVG sources,
it would be easy enough for anyone to remove the white fill, so releasing
only the versions with it could make sure it's used by default, without
making black only versions impossible and putting people off by a set of
strict rules that smell of lawyers.
