[Fsf-web] Logo

[Vinay Pawar]

I don't understand the importance of having a seperate 
FSF-I logo. But if it's absolutely necessary I suggest the 
text 'FSF India' or 'India' below the official GNU/FSF logo, 
i.e. GNU's head. Preferably in a simple Helvetica like font. 
I personally don't like the idea of playing with a nice logo 
just for amusment. We know that the GNU head is the GNU project's 
logo, but someone new to GNU/FSF would be confused looking at 
FSF-I's exotic peacock/flag/map/ashok chakra combination wondering 
if the peacock is GNU's logo. 
The GNU project is a global one, imagine FSF-I, FSF-China, FSF-Europe, 
FSF-France, etc cooking their own logo's. Not useful and doesn't 
serve any purpose. Let's not confuse people. 

I'm working on brochure sized paper cards with a brief description of 
what is free software. Such cards would be useful for notice boards 
where people might not be interested in reading the entire definition 
of free software. 
I think the creative heads on this list could design things that 
can be distributed at user group meetings where the free software 
philosophy is not discussed everytime. 
Thanks, 
Vinay Pawar,
