Hey everyone. Interest in using the GIMP logo to advertise the project has been expressed by several companies, it has been proposed that we make branding guidelines and/or press kit materials for GIMP. This could include (but is not limited to):

1. A branding document (ex: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding) 2. Series of "official" banners, brochures, and other marketing materials that can be downloaded from the GIMP website.

These have the advantage of offering official graphics and guidelines for businesses who are not part of the GIMP project to use in promoting GIMP within their organisations (and to the public at large, since GIMP can be a feature of a professional office suite package). It has the added effect of providing useful information about the GIMP brand, it's origins, project goals, etc.

The primary goal is to make professional GIMP official materials available for people and organisations to use in order to promote the GIMP. We would offer these materials on the gimp.org website.

To kick it off, I've uploaded my own rendition of Wilbur: www.opendesignstudio.org/gimp/logos/gimp_2.8_logo.zip

We can replace it with a more officially official version if we have any.

We will also need other versions (black and white for example).

If anyone has any official graphics to share, that would be helpful at this juncture.

Thoughts?

Okay, so I posted a summary of the gimp brand stuff to the gimp irc channel #GIMP. Am I to assume someone will eventually see it? I mean, is it logged or something? It pretty much got ignored and burried under the next question... Unless we agree on a time to meet, I'm not sure what the point of asking people in the chat room is... At this point no one has expressed any interest.

Is it useful to talk about GIMP branding in this way? Are there interested parties on #GIMP? Or would my time be better spent just coming up with a design document, and gathering information from people along the way, then presenting the document as a possible addition to the GIMP website?

I have no idea how to use an IRC meeting bot, but if someone wants to set up some meetings, I'll be happy to make myself available to chat irc-style.

Not logged.

Not publicly logged, but logged.

And for real meetings with action items and such, Wilber has got the Meetingbot plug-in installed.

Nevermind. Got some really interesting conversation already. There's even links to GIMP furry porn. Lol.

Yes, I use Scribus all the time for magazines and brochures. I'd like to start with the "design guidelines" I think is what we came to on #GIMP tonight. I was able to collect some useful links from people, and get enough information to start. I'll present information both there and here and try and keep the two as up to date as I can. Apparently #gimp is where most of the magic happens. Lots of fun people too. :)

More as I get more underway.

Brochures could be made with scribus as this is what it is made todo. also Scribus is what the people over at GIMPmagazine uses to make their great magazines.

Nice! although I think Wilber is a bit dark around the edges.

parties on #GIMP? Or would my time be better spent just coming up with a design document, and gathering information from people along the way, then presenting the document as a possible addition to the GIMP website?

I think that the best thing to do would be make your own document, present it and then we can discuss individual topics. This way we can sign off and approve sections of the document.
