Stephen Crocker commented on MSKINS-188:
----------------------------------------
Using an SVG allows us to escape the issue of HiDPI screens, but this hits a
second problem. An image has a maximum height/width and the previous solution
used this, an SVG doesn't so we want to dynamic size it based on the grid
system. The grid system in Bootstrap 2.x is based around spans like so:
{code:xml}
<span class="span4">
<a href="http://maven.apache.org/"; title="Built by Maven"
class="poweredBy"><img class="builtBy" alt="Built by Maven"
src="./images/logos/maven-feather.svg" /></a>
</span>
<span class="span4"> </span>
{code}
SVG defines a viewport and the lines, text and shapes are based off of a
central coordinate point, so adding text objects to the SVG is fairly easy
(just open it in Karbon or Inkscape). Trying to overlay text at the HTML level
you loose the context of the central coordinate so we'll end up having to track
various screen widths and modify the margin/padding of the text, just so much
more effort.
The challenge is the text, the SVG letters are clearly drawn shapes (and not
text elements) so we need to locate the font (it is not maven pro). The second
issue is the logo itself, its changed and where ever I place "Built by" it ends
up making it look unbalanced.
I am thinking there are two ways forward.
The first is to embrace the Apache Powered by Idea here:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/press/kit/#poweredby which produces a logo
like this:
!powered by.png!
The second is to move away from powered by and go more for "organisation logo"
and let people enable it and supply an image which produces something like this:
!maven feather example.png!
> Build by use old Maven logo
