Fwd: [Inkscape-devel] New Donate Link Graphics

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Golden Ribbon <water.ribbon@...155...> Date: Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 3:03 PM Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] New Donate Link Graphics To: Bryce Harrington <bryce@...983...> Josh Andler >To answer your questions regarding branding, no single person is responsible for the branding, it has been a collective effort over the years. There really should be a dedicated page on the branding specs. If I wanted to create something official for inkscape, problems like this would eventually come-about again. Things to be included are official hexadecimal colours - e.g. I see a shade of orange in the website and in other inkscape affairs, has that shade been settled on?. the Typeface for the "Draw freely" moto. and the official font for the inkscape name... also things likes the logo as aforementioned, and its variants (flat design) as well as the guide for icon creation. I would be happy to construct that as well once I can get a link or even a joint agreement on some aspects as admittedly things have been settled over time and it maybe difficult to find true documentation of the original ideas.

New Donate Link Graphics
by Martin Owens 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Dear all, Thanks to Golden Ribbon (inkscape user and maker of recently good tutorials) he's provided to us some graphics for encouraging more donations through affiliate links. They look really nice too. I've just finished adding them to the English page on the website. If you go to https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/donate/ you will see the new images and the copy-paste html if you want to add a link to your own website to support inkscape. Golden Ribbon is also interested in making t-shirts and other mechanise; we don't yet have anyone (I know of) who is skilled or interested in looking into merchandise, but maybe if we had some nice designs someone would step forwards to add this feature. What are your thoughts? Best Regards, Martin Owens

Thanks Golden Ribbon, Should we keep the list on google docs spreadsheet?

I also selfishly want some inkscape branded things. A cup of tea and a t-shirt with inkscape's logo on it ;-) Martin,

Crash
by Eneko Gotzon 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

Hi all. My Inkscape copy crashed but I don't know how or why because I'm an absolute beginner. A crash report <https://drive.google.com/a/donostiadomremy.com/file/d/0B65Ce2KL-t2pcWZUNklr…> was saved. Maybe you can help me deciding if it is a bug and if so it is already filed. Thank you. -- Eneko Gotzon Ares enekogotzon@...155...

Get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library
by E. G. A. 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Just an absolute newbie running Inkscape 0.48.2 in a well working, really beautiful, vintage declared but loved computer (2.1 GHz PowerPC G5 & Mac OS X.5.8). To get Previews from the Open Clip Art Library*, it is needed to be registered at the openclipart.org site and fill up the user account data in the Inkscape Preferences**? * File > Import from Open Clip... ** Import/Export > Open Clip Art Library Username & Password. Thank you. -- Eneko Gotzon Ares
