Is there current art work for this?
@ajmas - the current art-work is work-in-progress, heh, something simple I could muster out of Inkscape...
For more inspiration: http://nodeschool.io/hexdex.html
@nicolasgere can help fun-it-up and @CassieLR can add colour! :stuck_out_tongue:
If we could get something with the Olympic stadium? Hmm, any artist friends around?
You mean that thing that's not even a city landmark because you and I are still paying for it?
Maybe @alicephieu or @rvoulon can help find someone? :smile:
We finished paying for it in 2006. - Just checked 😊 . Any other landmark suggestions? Biosphere?
Should we post on the Facebook page for contributions?
Bridge and biosphrere could work, with mountain + cross and PVM batman light in the background?
Hexagon this:
I spent a bit of time today, and came up with this. Super simple. What do we think?
It may not be legal to use this logo, without authorization in writing. Does a citizen of Montréal who speaks french want to contact the city and ask? http://ville.montreal.qc.ca/portal/page?_pageid=5977,42999681&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#par_courriel
They accept calls in English too. I wouldn't worry about the branding problem. ("legal"). Nothing serious happens here. No persecution of citizens for being good people.

Is there a way to tweak it a bit, so it is more a tip of the hat to the logo, than the logo itself? Maybe a play on the Montreal flag?
How do I get myself on this email thread?? Can you take me off? On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 23:18 Andre-John Mas notifications@github.com wrote:

@rvoulon You can unsubscribe from the thread. @ajmas Unfortunately, not with my design skills. This took the better part of an hour.
Yes I just realized I was getting them from GitHub and unsubscribed. However by tagging me you resubscibed me again... (-_- ) On Wed, Nov 8, 2017 at 08:08 Richard Littauer notifications@github.com wrote:

Shutterstock has some nice Montreal-themed vector line art that we can adjust to fit our needs, as an alternate approach.

I'll try making some mockups when I've got a free moment.
Those would be much better! Awesome.
Here's one mockup completed:
For anyone who wants to make adjustments, here's the svg: https://gist.github.com/matchai/acd657c2c71613325768a3d72d88e366
What do you think about the colors? Anything you think should be added/removed/changed? I'm not at all married to this design, so any feedback is good feedback! 😄
Not sure about the Yellow, otherwise looks good. Should we try to keep the colours Montreal, Quebec or Canada related?
Red and white?
I like the logo! It's definitely distinctively Montréal. Not my favourite landmark though; any chance of using the skyline and hill? Might not work as easy.
Here's what red/white and blue/white look like:
I like the blue and white! Makes me feel cold. :D
I like the blue and white too. Seems soothing, despite the cold :)
@matchai Did you order some of these? :)
Moving that conversation over to #50.
Here are the final svgs, to be added to the repo as soon as #73 is closed: https://gist.github.com/matchai/e395414aa4eab041586a546a18524a33
Use the Montreal skyline
