Purpose
To develop branding, design and layout of several types of material suitable for printing and for using generally across OSGeo's work.
In particular for the creation of several graphical representations that can be used in presentations, for brochures, signs, covers and more. Also, secondarily, to be discussed will be aligning these representations with our online resources where applicable, for furthering use of the brand in a clear way.
Contacts

Products from this project will also eventually feed into the Exhibition Pack so it will coordinate with Alex Mandel as well.

Requirements
