Hi David,

This leaflet was clearly produced for printing - if you open it with a standard acrobat reader (or kpdf), it displays the green quite like the web colors below. In Ghostview however, its much brighter, so I would guess that its CMYK colors. I can read that it was done in scribus, so maybe there is a source file for this floating around somewhere? The file is not useable in itself however, I cannot even open it in scribus itself.
Sorry, here is the scribus file: http://download.fsfeurope.org/tmp/fellowship-customizable-leaflet.sla
- webcolor (for the green header on http://www.fsfe.org/, the two
greens for the webversion of the card http://www.fsfe.org/design/fsfe/images/fsfe_card.jpg) or do you think they are ok?
I think they are at least quite faithful to the actual card. Let me reproduce the values here:
Bright Green: RBG: #8dc94f HSL: 63, 135, 140 CMYK: 30, 0, 61, 21 (estimated of course)
Dark Green: RGB: #6cba4a HSL: 72, 114, 130 CMYK: 42, 0, 60, 27 (again, estimated)
I must also say that I like it a bit toned down and used sparingly, but that may be just personal preference.
What do others think here?
I have of course no idea how the Fellowship came to this color scheme and what was decided in terms of "Corporate" Identity - how the color is to be used and so on.
We do not have such information for the Fellowship logo. Only for the FSFE logo.
Might be a good idea to put together at least a page that references how and where logo and colors are to be used.
Yes, that would be very good. I can give you all the stuff we have, but those are mainly the logos in differnt file format (also some bad ones, good that we learnt and did it better with the FSFE logo).
It should be something that fits on one or at most two pages of paper so that you can have a look and it immediately answers the design question you were having.
I'm again speaking for myself here, but I think this could help improve coherence and uniformity in the outward appearance of the Fellowship.
I agree entirely. Would you be able to help with that? Perhaps we can merge it with the FSFE style guide which Nils started? We can also think about making it on a website, so if people are interested or have some ideas making a wallpaper, poster whatever they can look up?
What do you think?
Best wishes, Matthias
