Use of "OSGeo" in menus and actions (rather than "OSGEO") #146

Closed jodygarnett closed 7 years ago

As reported by our president:

"OSGEO" needs to be changed to "OSGeo" at several places in

I think, I had mentioned this before. If all-caps is because of the font-face being used, changing the font could kindly be considered.

I wonder if "small caps" could be used as a compromise (but perhaps that is just silly).

@jeffreylasut marking this as a bug to remind us to discuss as next meeting, if we can handle it via the issue tracker that is okay too.

I looked in our meeting notes, since I remember discussing this when venka origionaly reported it. In this case we have a conflict between visual consistency (capital presentation for actions and menus) and corporate identity "OSGeo". Do you think Pim would go for small caps as a compromise?

@jodygarnett Discussed it with Pim and we go for "not forcing capitals" on the menu's and call-2-action buttons. Made a little example how it will look: lowercase-example
