@nathenf given your experience with comms assets i think this could be a good quick one for you. Let me know if you need a bit of clarity on what is needed.

@rufuspollock received, I will implement this week

[nathenf]

@rufuspollock I have made a page in the tao now https://lifeitself.org/tao/communications/logos which links to the google drive. I have also added just icon logo to the folder and created a guide for making logo alterations in Canva. It is worth noting that the original logo uses Restora which isn't avaiable on Canva so in the guide I suggested using Martel instead. However if you would prefer I can load Restora into Canva as a custom font and change this.

@nathenf great! this is a perfect start.

only suggestion would the that i tao/logos is marginally better (less nesting is preferable). and this is a 2c comment.

[rufuspollock]

@nathenf and did you locate logo and well as logotype versions? i also wonder if we want to move stuff (e.g. logos) out of drive into the tao? wdyt? (one place for things etc).

[nathenf]

@rufuspollock I think its a good idea to move entirely to Tao, I would need to figure out how to add downloads, but sure this is easy. I can go ahead and action this.

To be clear by logo you mean the icon and logotype, just the text? I've added in the logo but I can also make the text logo and add this too.

[rufuspollock]

Logotype is logo and text.

We want SVG and PNG versions of both if possible.

@nathenf any chance we close this out today before the end of the sprint? 😄

[nathenf]

@rufuspollock will complete this morning

FIXED - www.lifeitself.org/tao/logos now includes a downloadable file which contains all variations of the Life Itself logo in both png and svg filetype. In addition, there is a guide to creating a new sub project logo.

[rufuspollock]

@nathenf i think people who need to download logos can probably work out to right click and "save as". And if that is tough for people we can provide instructions (there is no need for the link to automatically download).

FIXED - https://lifeitself.org/tao/logos updated with links to each logo #329
