Are we going to provide source art files for the logo? As we do for the current logo?

grafikrobot commented 4 months ago

Oh, NM. I see there's a link to the SVG logo in the new doc.

vinniefalco commented 4 months ago

Well this is a work in progress we need to iterate on this including providing the color spec for Boost Mustard and several variations of the logo in different formats and backgrounds.

PeterTurcan commented 4 months ago

From a color picker, the RGB value for Mustard appears to be 255,159,0. The CIELAB conversion of this is Lightness: 73.5821 Green-Red: 27.0591 Blue-Yellow: 78.0802 Would one or both of these two values work as a definition?

grafikrobot commented 4 months ago

Looking at the SVG source the color is "orange peel" (https://www.colorhexa.com/ff9f00).

PS. Another color spec for that.. https://www.color-hex.com/color/ff9f00

vinniefalco commented 4 months ago

No we should not try to define it, because I need to select the color from a hardcopy. That is, from a physical set of color tiles either Pantone, or whatever is in vogue these days. And from there we determine the color values in device-independent coordinates such as CIELAB or CIEXYZ. And we can also license whatever the proprietary specifications are (Pantone I guess although I don't even know if that's still around). A quick Internet search shows "Freetone" as the free replacement for Pantone so we can consider that.

This is all very nice but hardly needed this moment as there are other higher priority things to do.

Closing for now

@PeterTurcan could you please reopen? As per a conversation we've had on Slack, we can merge this as is and work on the color specs can be resumed later. Thank you!

PeterTurcan commented 3 months ago

@joaquintides Git would not let me reopen easily - so resubmitted in https://github.com/boostorg/website-v2-docs/pull/222
