Re: Ogg & Ogg Vorbis _unofficial_ logos page.

Hello all,

Here is my initial idea, reworked in vector format for the various 
codecs and Icecast. I've taken the liberty of renaming Icecast to 
OggCast, so people might actually know what it does in future!

I hereby assign copyright in this design to the Xiph.Org Foundation. 
(It will need to establish copyright in any adopted logo or set of 
logos, and should probably register a trademark too).

I would really appreciate it if Jack could put these files and any 
others that are submitted to the monthly Xiph.org meeting, with a 
view to adoption, further development or some sort of contest. 
Miguel, please could you put these files on your page too?

If anyone wants to pitch in with more ideas, let's discuss the matter 
on this list. I was initially thinking SVG format would be good, but 
having tried it I'm not sure how it can embed fonts, being an XML 
based format. This is important, because you need the final document 
to be self contained, and consistent across different machines and 
platforms. 

I've tested this PDF version on a Windows machine without the fonts 
installed and it scales and looks fine. I've also provided an Open 
Office Draw version in case anyone wants to try editing them or 
another style completely - there are only three elements in each 
logo, and they are grouped.

I have looked up the origin of the fonts used, and they are both more 
or less freeware True Type fonts. They are free-beer redistributable 
and derivative works (ie, the logos) are not prohibited from 
commercial use, which is all important of course.
