Hello

Thanks everybody who voted for this alternative and to all people who worked (and still work) on the logo. The original font I used is indeed FreeSans.

I don't know much about the SVG internals but maybe removing the clip and cutting the path instead on the shadows of the buildings might help too.

Best regards Jozef

Thanks a lot - this seems like an excellent start now to start cleaning up the code. So I think it is time now hand it over from the Inkscape designers to the SVG coders ;-)

I will have a look at it.

What was the original font you used in Inkscape? Free Sans? I see that "Bitstream Vera Sans" is used in the document. Is this the intended font?

I will create a SVG font once I know the intended font. This would make it render fine in Batik/Opera/Safari/ASV but will fail in Firefox. For Firefox we need a close alternative font that can be picked instead of the Free Sans/Bitsteram Vera Sans.

Thanks again, Andreas

Any volunteers to do the cleanup?

I did some changes, but I found some problems too. Different browsers render text differently, and not all systems have the freesans font used. A solution would be to convert every text to paths, wich increases the size of the file but renders correctly. Opera (for linux at least, what I tested) has problems with gradients to alpha, apparently.

Here are my adjustments. Maybe some of them will have to be rolled back to the previous version (the title part) if we'll stick with the text not converted to curves.

-Tweaked the bridge. A lot. Joined paths, corrected some shapes, removed strokes, cleanup. -Joined the semi-transparent white outline of the bridge. cleanup -Removed the clip from the sun. cleanup and cut to keep only the visible part. -Joined the outline of the text (looks fine in inkscape, not in browsers... maybe it has to be undone) -Joined the land in one single path. -Joined the clouds (were groups of circles)

The big problem here is the text part. As far as I could see, every browser seems to render it diferently. The one that has the text part converted to paths renders fine in browsers, but is quite large. Maybe some guy with better knowledge than me about SVG can do a manual cleanup of the result and reduce the size (inkscape uses to leave some unnecesary style definitions) ideas?

Regards,

Gez.
