2 Create a new header graphic to replace the boring white "Inkscape" on blue. As a graphic app, we are starting to deserve something more sophisticated. The web site itself is OK, I don't think we need to drastically change the entire design (although suggestions are welcome), but the top panel is decidedly dull and pathetic. Show off your graphic talent! Send your submissions to the devel list for people to discuss. The best one (if the winner is not obvious, we may need to do a voting) will make it to the site. One technical note: the banner cannot be fixed width, because our site is not fixed width - so it must be either one piece for the top left corner or two pieces for two corners, with some flat color fill between them. The minimum screen resolution is 800x600.
I'm going to post on the DeviantART account about this... I think that it would be a good opportunity for people to contribute back to the project. I will make it known that we are accepting submissions from other sources other than DA, so people don't get their hopes up... but I do have to say that the attention that account has gotten is truly phenomenal. In the end the submission that gets chosen will make some artist pretty proud, given the fact that it will be on our website.
My Q, is should we just make it a header graphic for the website? Or should we maybe propose people also contribute the text portion to our logo? Meaning, we have an inkscape logo, but don't have set lettering or fonts for the word Inkscape itself... which is a pretty common practice with all software (the text logo & symbol logo).
Let me know so I can post it. Thanks!
