[SFD-discuss] Help needed: Artwork for SFD '09 team starter pack (schwag); Do we need to change the SFD logo font?

[jmC8]

Hi Thilo, Danke! Thanks for that quick response.  I've already seen that
list of fonts you mentioned and the only problem was that weren't too many
options for modern looking sans serif logo fonts among the font examples
from that list.

@All: Please disregard the earlier list of fonts that I mentioned.  It seems
that it would take time sort out our way through more than a thousand fonts
listed there.  Moreover, I've just found out that not all fonts there are
free (as in speech) and open licensed -- others are just freeware that are
just freely redistributable.

As an alternative, perhaps it would be better for us to look at the font
collection listed at the Open Font Library
<http://openfontlibrary.org/>website.  I've already found a promising
one and you may look at at my first
output here: http://softwarefreedomday.org/Artwork/2009/Logo

RFC

Cheers!

P.S.
Prior to posting my first output on my SFD '09 logo experiments, as a gauge
to whether I'm ready to post that or not, I asked my sister which between
the two logos look better: SFD '08 or '09?  Her answer was '09 because it's
more eye-catching and that motivated to post this now.   I hope you'll all
like it as well. :-)
