phpBB forum software

Post by Tippe »

Hi.

I wonder why Linux Musicians doesn't have a Logo.
Instead of having a Logo there's just the boring phpBB forum software trademark on top-left of the forum site.

No one ever had an idea to create such a logo?

Ah, we actually have a logo (and stickers! PM me if you want some), I suspect it went missing again in the most recent forum software update. I'll look into putting it back this weekend.

I see the logo here. Using Prosilver (Dark Edition) theme.
Sometimes these glitches can be theme-dependent. Which theme are you using @Tippe ?

I did not choose a theme.
I did not even know, that there's a possibility to choose a theme.
So, I think it's the default theme.
The head is blue - more light than dark.
The rest is white and silver/grey somehow.

Thanks for letting me know about themes.
Need to examine the settings. :D

So, there's a Logo and there's stickers.
Are there T-Shirts too?
I would like to wear a T-Shirt with a Linux Musician Logo at front and the lettering on the back. :D
Do I need to create it by myself?

Fount the settings for themes.
It seems the prosilver theme is the only theme that doesn't show the Logo.
Switched to Prosilver Dark Theme now.
But I would like the default Prosilver theme more if there's the Logo seen.

Pity.
Clicking the Logo will not give option to save the image/logo.
No chance to use it for a T-Shirt. :(

When I created the Logo, I used Inkscape, so I have it in SVG and can render in any resulution from that. Here is 1000 x 1000 pixels.

Wow, that's great.
I think 1000x1000 pixel should be enough.
Thanks! :D

Edit:

Which font was used for the lettering?

I don't know which font that is used here.
But an almost similar font; licensed under the Open Font License, witch I think go along as well together with LM-logo is: Lato, Designed by Łukasz Dziedzic
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lato/tester
Use Lato Black 900 variant with white text
This is only my suggestion, if the real Font used on LMs site is hard to find

It's whatever the default is on the phpBB theme used, we only replaced the logo.

Looking at the CSS, it is specified as ""Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif", meaning it'll also be different depending on what fonts you have installed... on my machine it appears to have picked "Arimo Regular".

Should be fixed, LMK if I missed anything!

Do I need to create it by myself?

So did you finally made the ts-hirt ?

I'd love to see a picture while you're wearing it!

I like the logo very much btw.
And perhaps I meet @raboof this weekend for a sticker :p
