graphic banner - any designers?

I added to the wiki the specs for the LibriVox logo (colors and font) and also links to b/w versions (gif, png & psd) of the logotext that anyone is welcome to use in buttons, banners or posters.

Hope that's helpful to someone.

I saw that earlier, that's a great idea

I waited over a month for a reaction of gord on the poster, and asked him, but he was very busy.
Now i got all the files from him that i needed.
But now i am asking someone in the web for permission to use this white picture of the headphones....
Working via web is a slow process if people don?t react. Its just our hobby after all.

May i ask you to not do a heavy double-box around our trademark? It doesnt need a placeholder saying "here be logo". Doing a box or a circle around a logo is like an empty phrase. Imagine Nike would do a circle around its swoosh....no need.
You already did fine on our mainpage. Text works lovely on itself. And i looove it pure in black on your wiki-page!

If you want to comunicate our colors, i have the impression the text is enough too.

stephan, why not make the non-boxed logo & post it ... then we can replace what's there if its better.

a good motto: propose, do, and provide.

makes it much easier to... adopt.

Yes, but i don't have the fonts.

but also, what you propose is too risky to be doing A: something in vain B: tripping on somebodys feelings and depreciating somebodys work...if you "just do". I fear that that.

Good point, Stephan. I'd just come off a long shift of doing "Web 2.0" buttons and design so everything in my head was on rounded corner backgrounds.

Sadly, no time to revise right now, but I will try to remember to do it when I have a spare moment next week.

Here's another Librivox banner. As before, please host on your server. Credit appreciated, but not required.

kristen, after you said its ok, i could do it, right?
Here it is properly, not just a scribble. I made it the exact size of the boxed one, just to be sure it will be placed right.

Note that i removed the redundant black "Librivox" above "discussions on reading, recording and more: LibriVox". It'd it be nice if that could be done. Else its too much "Librivox, LIbrivox, Librivox" if you know what i mean.
