Re: Gnome Logo and Guadec Logo Fonts

[Dave Neary <bolsh gnome org>]

Hi Behnam,

Thanks for the suggestions!

One thing - the Bitstream font you use for the "normal" GNOME logo
doesn't match the one that Mairin Duffy made last year, which is now the
official one:
http://live.gnome.org/BrandGuidelines?action=show&redirect=LogoGuidelines

The official one resembles (a lot) the MS Trebuchet we used to use, and
I think it looks really good.

Cheers,
Dave.
