I don't know where it came from other than Michael gave it to me to use. The .eps does contain some Copyright lines, namely % Copyright (c)1992-98 Corel Corporation % All rights reserved. v8.0 r0.15 I suspect it came out of some WordPerfect sample graphics selection which he tweaked for DWARF use--my speculation. I designed and created the logo using Corel Draw. The image of the little Viking came from a multi-CD digital clip art collection that I purchased long ago. (The image reminded me of Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King".) The original is a .cdr file, which is scalable and can be used to generate graphics in a variety of resolutions and formats, including PNGs optimized for a web page, or EPS files for printing. The copyright notice is for Corel's PostScript code in the EPS file, not for the entire graphic. -- Michael Eager -- Dwarf-discuss mailing list Dwarf-discuss@lists.dwarfstd.org https://lists.dwarfstd.org/mailman/listinfo/dwarf-discuss
Re: [Dwarf-discuss] OTHER or arguably ENHANCEMENT: Logo
V2 now with tools: http://ssh.bencoyote.net/~ben/DWARF_6_DRAFT_tools.png It is kind of a menu. Pick your favorite dwarf body, your favorite helmet, your favorite tool. Or suggest something different. Since it is just a draft she just just did it over the DWARF6 mockup - we can discuss font later.

I think Creative Commons is the right choice, as that's what we've been using for other content recently. The standard itself is Gnu FDL, but the website itself (at least more recent stuff) is CC-BY. Yeah I already talked to her about that. She's totally fine with that idea. She's not one who spends a lot of time worrying about the nuances of various licensing terms but rather has the practical outlook of someone who earns money as a creative. One of the less restrictive versions of CC makes sense. She usually turns over ownership in exchange for payment or considers it a work for hire but this would be a donation. I did a little more reading on CC and found that they do not recommend using a CC license for logos. I think we'd really just want the copyright assigned to us. As for the license, whatever. She slapped a CC-BY-SA on it based upon your previous email. She doesn't have a problem transferring ownership to whomever/whatever but I don't think that there is a legal entity that can possess it and I don't feel like we want to wade into all that entails. It is a favor, a donation to the community. -ben -cary -- Dwarf-discuss mailing list Dwarf-discuss@lists.dwarfstd.org https://lists.dwarfstd.org/mailman/listinfo/dwarf-discuss

It is a favor, a donation to the community. I've got no idea what the legal aspects are, so I'm just trying to be extra careful. I'm sure as long as we have a clear record that she's donating this to the DWARF committee, we should be OK. Nonetheless, we'll definitely have to discuss this in the executive committee, and/or the full committee. And it's not our highest priority. Nevertheless, thanks! -cary -- Dwarf-discuss mailing list Dwarf-discuss@lists.dwarfstd.org https://lists.dwarfstd.org/mailman/listinfo/dwarf-discuss
