Hi all,

Not public, but I uploaded all the artwork to http://download.fsfeurope.org/artwork/ UN: designers PW: MakeUsPretty

Nils started with it in the Styleguide, and there are also files in FSFE-Logo which should help a bit to have a structure. Perhaps it would be best to make a html guidline? Or what do you think?
I just phoned with Markus about it. He is currently doing drafts for posters (see the four drafts in http://download.fsfeurope.org/artwork/fellowship_posters_2.pdf).
We have one color guideline for FSFE's logo: http://download.fsfeurope.org/artwork/FSFE-Logo/colour_guidelines.pdf
Markus used the following colors from the color guide:
GREEN MIX for Fellowship Dark 70C / 0M / 100Y / 0K 107R / 179G / 64B (PANTONE 7489 C)
GREEN for Fellowship bright 30C / 0M / 80Y / 0K 208R / 244G / 0B (PANTONE 584 C)
The strange thing is in http://download.fsfeurope.org/artwork/Fellowship/Info:

Colors:
- SmartCard bright green: 50,0,100,0 (CMYK), or Pantone: 376C - SmartCard dark green & logo: 70,0,100,0 (CMYK), or Pantone: 361C - RGB logo color: 99,152,41 (Web only)
"SmartCard dark green & logo" has the same CMYK colors as "GREEN MIX" from FSFE's logo. But the Pantone color differs. So we should check which pantone color we should use. (We could ask the original designers about that).
"SmartCard bright green" should get the same CMYK, Pantone and RGB colors as "GREEN" from FSFE's color guide.
He suggests that we define one darker green (what we currently use on the web buttons), and have CMYK and Pantone colors from it. So if we need a darker green we can use that (e.g. for the web). IMHO that makes sense. So we do not have thousands of greens (and people do not just convert with gimp or other programs and get strange results).
What do you think?
Best wishes, Matthias
