<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just tested and everything seems to
work fine. Great!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I need the logo in vector format. The PNG
file available in the Press Kit page is
somewhat limited for various print usage!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would need the full visual "Beyond the
first decade" please.</div>
</div>

</span> It's all already available in the github repo.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I understand. However I was thinking about the specific
"Press Kit" page and how it can smooth our relationship
with any media. If someone wants to grab the PNG file,
that’s easy. If that person needs for any reason the
vector file, can we put the links on the web page?</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote></span>
In a press kit, I'm less keen to make the vector file available. In
part, we risk having messed-up, off-style versions of the logo
circulating if people who don't know adequately how to deal with
vectors download and attempt to use it. If we have a high resolution
bitmap available, I suspect that'll be good enough for most
applications. If someone really needs the vector file for some
specific purpose, they can always make use of the information on the
contact page to ask whether it's possible to get it. <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That’s a point of view I don’t share but let me explain why. At least, we’d need a one color version for all newspapers who print in black (or any color, in fact) and we need to control the grey we want to render the black-blue contrast. Then, I was thinking of an outlined version of the vector file which would only preserve the graphics, while being totally resolution and font independent and taking away the fuss of having to downscale a "high res png" (we never know what hi-res can mean for anybody — it’s up to the final destination to determine what res fits the needs). What if they need to upscale? Upscaling pixels has a limit.</div><div><br></div><div>It’s there to ease the life of the press people. We don’t expect someone to "modify" the logo and grabbing a vector file won’t make that happen in 99,99% of the cases. However we don’t have much control on that either and if someone really wants to modify it, he/she will, no matter what we provide.</div><div><br></div><div>We could provide a PDF file if the SVG seems too risky from the editorial point of view.
