I am unconvinced (or actually rather strictly against) the “globe and plane” style logo candidates: They focus too narrowly on the projection side of things, which is already indicated quite clearly through the name PROJ. I kind of like 3C, with the phi and its shadow - the shadow somehow indicating a “related but not identical reference frame”, i.e. a datum shift. I do, however, not like the shape of the phi (or actually “varphi”: phi is the “O with bar strikethrough” often used to indicate a clock phase): The very open-to-the-left varphi looks too much like the word “up”. I would like the logo to indicate more clearly that geodesy is a four-dimensional science, and the operations PROJ provide support that. So perhaps something like 3C, but with the letters “P R O J” casting the shadows “varphi lambda H t” - or for the sake of simplicity and recognizability in small sizes: Just the four letters “varphi lambda H t” on one line, and “P R O J” below that: φλHt PROJ (where the phi was supposed to be a varphi) It may be a challenge to make it work graphically, since varphi descends, and lambda, H and t ascends - but I am sure this can be made to work by someone more graphically skilled than myself. /thomas Den man. 16. sep. 2019 kl. 16.27 skrev Sylvain Beorchia < [email protected]>: > Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. > Let's wait some more reactions of the community for my propositions, and > also for the other's (Nicolas, Janne...) one. > > > > Le lun. 16 sept. 2019 à 15:55, Kristian Evers <[email protected]> a écrit : > >> Thank you!
