Hello, does anybody know, where to find this logo in SVG ? Or could you tell me, where to find this font ? Thanks

Thanks, but there is only classic logos of puppy. I've searching for this text variant.

The Puppy text looks like Sans font and the other bit (Linux) looks like a hodge podge, you know a mixture.

Why not make your own in Gimp or inkscape full version?

Does it have to be exactly the same?

It's serif font. Not sans. Maybe I'll do it myself. But I still wonder, where can i get original font of puppy text. Maybe afgs have original SVG file. He's the creator of this logo imo.

afgs is long gone. Here's an automatically traced SVG version of the above. Gunzip first.

Yes, Serif it is.

How's this one.

Looks good. Conversion was good point ! Thank you.

Solved

I couldn't view it. I tried renaming it, eg: remove gz.

I also tried to decompress it, failed to load.

Seems broken here.

I'm sorry. And now ? I've made also banner. It's not "real" SVG because of conversion, but it's fully scalable. If someone knows how to remove white background in Inkscape, please tell me. Thanks.

Hi, guys.

I believe credit for the one in the first post goes to retrotechguy. It's a few
years old now; he did it a little after the publication of dpup4.82 (if my
memory is not failing me.)

Hey there, martyj.

Try this for size. This is an exact match of what you've got there.....but it's a TRANSPARENT .png image (so you can put any colour background behind it that you want).

Let me know if it works. I'm afraid I don't know if you can convert it to .svg; haven't tried that yet.

Regards,

Mike.

Thanks Mike, I know how to remove background from bitmap with Gimp for example. But I don't know how to remove background from SVG with Inkscape. If I save this file as transparent without background, It still saves with white background. It doesn't work.
However, I'm working on real SVG logo without conversion.

Mike Walsh · #16 Post by **Mike Walsh** » Sat 07 Mar 2015, 23:13

No probs.

Wasn't quite sure what you were trying to do with it. Would I be correct in assuming that you're trying to embed it into a LibreOffice 'Writer' document, or something like that?

Regards,

Mike.

Well, I'm trying to make a SVG logo for my website about puppy linux. Nothing more, nothing less.

Have you looked at this:

Many thanks, Mike.

That's actually a great tool to stamp the Puppy "identity" on any png,
and then load the composite as a real "root" background with Qiv or
similar during the .xinitc process. So it will show up during the boot-up
of the Puppy.

I know it's a bit technical, but the ROX-Filer is using its own backdrop.
When we change background pictures in Puppy, we're actually only
changing the "ROX" background. The "root" picture layer underneath
stays black but it doesn't have to. It can be any picture.

It would be a nice way to identify a puplet. For example, let's call it
"Dalmatian Puppy 43.9" for the fun of it. So you could have a picture of
a Dalmatian dog with your Puppy transparent "trademark" stamped on it
as the "root" picture -- loaded by qiv during the xinitrc process, and the
same picture of the Dalmatian dog as your regular backdrop -- loaded
by ROX. Ah, consistency, my friend, finally: consistency!!!

Hello, martyj.

Mike's banner did work fine on this jpg... I worked it in mtpaint, though.

Simply load the background in one mtpaint, and the banner in another
mtpaint. In the Puppy banner one, do ctrl-A to select the entire banner,
and then:
submenu Edit -> copy
and again
submenu Edit -> save to clipboard -> 1

Now switch to the mtpaint window where your background picture is. Do:

submenu Edit -> Load from clipboard -> 1

The snippet appears in the middle of the picture. You drag it to where
you like it to be and press Enter to confirm, and then Escape to remove
the dotted line around the snippet.

You save the modified picture to a slightly different name, and you're done!

Result will be something like this:
