Thanks. I'm liking dpup so much I wanted something for the desktop. Been looking for that "mightypup" pic, if there was a good version it would differentiate dpup from 4.3 better.

dpupa is very beautiful, but, a vector version of logo is really needed in order to print on CD and cover

please, made available always a vector version of your logos

Debian-style font is here (TTF)

According to the Debian logo page the real one is a commercial font.

Is it just me, or does 'Seal Clubbing' come to mind for anyone else?

I've been looking around trying to figure out how to vectorize and find that if the original layers aren't in some vector format already there are some hoops to jump through. Text can be converted to shapes but any raster layer other than a simple drawing I can't figure out how to do (yet). So here's a psd. As above the font is here.

Okee-dokee. Found out how to trace bitmaps in Inkscape.

Guy...

image you have linked is a mere svg container for raster image

see

Code: Select all

  <image
     xlink:href="dpupa.png"
     sodipodi:absref="/mnt/home/tubeguy/puppybg/dpupa.png"
you have done an svg that has png image representing your logo linked

so your logo remains in raster format

Nuts. I gotta learn more about Inkscape. I thought I did a bitmap trace and saved it as an actual vector image, but apparently not. I remember doing the trace.......nuts. OK, that was a practice run.

rather abstract
It looks like an error message
A very unique logo . . . :wink:

Code: Select all

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /puppybg/dpupatest2.svg on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

it looks very good, only some notes:

1 - Trim the page to logo size (I have trimmed)
2 - your logo has white background, while is valuable to have a transparent background (I have removed white background to made transparent)
3 - under logo layer you can find another layer having link to raster image (I have removed)


inkscape:label="Layer 1"
inkscape:groupmode="layer"
id="layer1">
<image
y="472.36218"
x="220.5"
id="image2449"
height="120"
width="309"
sodipodi:absref="C:\tubeguy\puppybg\dpupa.png"
xlink:href="dpupa.png" />


so, you can download from here a transparent-trimmed-clean version of dpupa logo (thanks fore your efforts)
