Hi, thats an interesting idea. I'll give it a try this week.
What do you (and everyone else who reads this) think about following considerations?
How Readable should it be? I guess the thext should be quite big, so it is clearly readable, despite it beeing in a small logo. If i am not mistaken the Handbook is mostly accessed in the drop down menu of LinuxCNC and there the Logos are really small, right?
Maybe instead of Text on a book put a Flag in the Background? (and write "Handbook" on the Book?
I could also give Chip something like a Sign which kontains Text. This would be basically your Logo with Chip in the Background holding it.
I am interested in your thoughts and ideas.
Cheers,
Alex
I think the language codes should be used eg. EN,FR,DE etc on the book cover/pages.
There are many more countries than languages. eg many countries adopt English as their language, as do many countries adopt Spanish (just 2 examples I can think of). Flags would be very confusing for many people where their country is different to the primary language site....
Flags are a bad idea, they don't map to languages particularly well and in areas where they don't can cause upset and trouble.
(China / Taiwan, Northern Ireland, Ukraine(Donbas), Transnistria...)
Even where it might not cause problems, why would a Brazlilan choose Portugal or an Argentinian choose Spain?
Thanks for your suggestions,
rodw, andypugh and chris@cnc.
You are absoultely right about the Flags. I will provide what i come up with. Propably next week.
