-Support for logos and branding has been requested by many people over the past few months.  To give just a few examples:
-* the current logo uses gradients, which had to be manually hacked to make it suitable for the Lands' End T-shirts
-* the PowerPoint (OpenOffice) template is unattractive
-* our ad template is less than inspiring
-* we do not have a business card template
-* we regulary receive requests for the logo in web colors, various file formats, etc
-While OSGeo was able to produce the initial logo using our own volunteer talent, it is felt that taking the logo and branding to the next level requires a degree of professional skill we don't have in-house.
-To address this, VisCom solicited proposals from a few design firms.  Our goals were:
-* refine the current logo to make it suitable for use in all media formats
-* produce a set of logo variations, for use in B/W, web colors, EPS, etc, etc
-* produce a template for powerpoint slides, business cards, etc (like [[http://www.joomla.org/content/view/259/70/ this]])
-* produce a "branding book" (like [[http://www.joomla.org/images/logos/Joomla_Brand_Manual_10-02-2005.pdf this]])
-* be able to provide future support for booth materials, signage, etc
-LisaL received two quotes for this work, both in the $12-16K range.  mpg received a 4-phase proposal from [[http://pushdesign.net/ Push Design]] for $7200 -- you can read it [[http://wiki.osgeo.org/images/3/38/Proposal_OSGeo.pdf here]].
-''(Disclaimer: the lead for Push Design, John Close, is a friend of mine.  Furthermore, John has done a lot of work for LizardTech in the past -- although hired not by me, and completely independent of my relationship with him.)''
-VisCom feels that the Board should fund $7200 for the Push Design proposal, to be paid in 4 installments, with the work to be overseen by VisCom and mpg.
