I like the 90's :)

The celebratory logo idea was Dave's... and it's not exactly harming you.  Also if anyone can/should pass judgement as to whether this is/isn't a continuation or not (I don't care how it's viewed - either way) then I'd say he has that say more than I... as he co-founded the LUG 20 years ago :)

I'm up for a chat on use of logo's... but show me an actual law.  My guess (not a solicitor)... is it's fair use especially as it isn't being used for commercial gain.

I got all the logos from Wikipedia (an excellent source of vector's by the way!)...

<sarcasm> Wikipedia must be just *drowning* in all that legal debt from all their logo misuse! </sarcasm>

At work at the moment, So I'll be brief. Might want to check with the owner of any logo's you use I know for a fact some of those you have included here and others on the site (the red hat fedora as an example)  you need to get prior permission to use. 

Also I really don't see the point in celebrating twenty years of their being a lug when it's only just "relaunched" after being mothballed for a good few years. We're in October now as well and I think projects such as finishing off the LUG website and getting rid of that awful 90's under construction sign would be a better use of function office's time.

Lo,

So for the past few weeks I've been chatting with Dave Roberts who
started the LUG back in 1999.  One idea he had was to commemorate the
last 20 years, possibly with some sort of logo made by a graphic designer
in the LUG (if we have any)... in particular an idea for our Tux/Knot logo
atop a pair of Roman numeral X's. 

I did briefly mentioned this idea at the last meeting, but no idea if
anyone heard me (as it was towards the end as we were taking pictures). 

So I've had a quick go at making something in any case... the PNG should
open fine in anything but the SVG isn't quite websafe yet - so if you want
to open that, use Inkscape which is what it was created in.

Feedback would be great, or even alternatives? 

Will give it about a week and then use whatever we've got on the
right-hand side panel of the website... not much of 2019 left now anyway
to celebrate 20 years!

Steven
