[DotGNU]slogan/logo/posters project submission from Stephen Compall

[Norbert Bollow]

Stephen Compall has made a DotGNU posters project submission with
some very good ideas... I've moved his files out of the "incoming"
directory, i.e. you can get a quick view at
ftp://dotgnu.org/s11-stdfoot.png and the meat of the matter at
ftp://dotgnu.org/s11-stdfoot.tar.gz

I really like the new logo idea.  I think it's much better than
what we currently have.  As for the slogan, it's an interesting
thought, but we really should have something that either emphasises
freedom or a user benefit or both.  How about the following?

GNU Freedom for the Internet

Warm Greetings,
Norbert.

I have several ideas for posters/ads, some of which may actually be
implemented.  They share a common footer, because I see that as
boilerplate for my ideas; I would like your comments.  A tarball with
a 300dpi xcf.gz is available,
<ftp://dotgnu.org/incoming/s11-stdfoot.tar.gz>, with a signature at
<ftp://dotgnu.org/incoming/s11-stdfoot.tar.gz.asc>.

For those wanting a quick view or without the GIMP, a smaller PNG is
<ftp://dotgnu.org/incoming/s11-stdfoot.png>, with signature
<ftp://dotgnu.org/incoming/s11-stdfoot.png.asc>.

It includes a half-baked slogan idea.  Enjoy, and give me feedback!  I
need this to be good before I can dump it into anything else.

BTW, here is some pseudo-XML for the first text idea (it's a series,
after all):

<ad target="users/developers" id="UI">
  <graphic of="xeyes looking straight down" />
  <title>"Service Stubs":</title>
  <subtitle><b><i>real</i></b> user interfaces</subtitle>

  Web mail, web news, web games.  Great idea, right?  No
  installing!....just click.  Wait.  Wait.  Click.  Wait.  "We're
  sorry, this site only works with &lt;<i>web browser you don't
  have</i>>."

  DotGNU offers <u>real user interfaces</u> that look just like your
  more friendly graphical programs.  Software developers can turn
  <graphic of="some web applications" /> <graphic of="left arrow"
  /><big>this</big> into <big>this</big>. <graphic of="right arrow" />
  <graphic of="widget-ified versions of webapps" />

  <graphic of="xeyes looking at upper right">
    <caption><u>really</u>.  they're easier on the eyes <tt>:)</tt></caption>
  </graphic>
</ad>

I can finally rest my head
and when they say "take of his body"
I think I'll take of mine instead
