perfSONAR Logo

perfSONAR Logo

This is a version of the perfSONAR logo rendered as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) instead of the bitmaps that have been floating around for many years. In February, 2020, the team elected to switch to a newer version with a differnt font that is bolder, better matches the style of the crosshairs and will work better in some media such as embroidery.

The font has been changed the open-source Rabbid Highway Sign II, which better matches the style of the "O". The original appears to have been done with Adobe Myriad Pro, which is proprietary. A copy of the new font is included in this respository.

To install this font:

Prerequisites

Building the logo requires a system with the following available at the command line:

  • ImageMagick
  • Inkscape
  • Make
  • Tar
  • Xsltproc
  • Zip

On Red Hat, yum -y install ImageMagick inkscape make tar libxslt zip will install everything needed.

Building the Logo

Run make

Modifying the Logo

The original, complete version of the logo is original.svg.

It was created in Inkscape, and edits should be done there as well. The files contain Inkscape-specific XML but should still work fine with anything that wants to render it.

Note that anything that will be rendered in black or white must be 50% gray (RGBA 808080ff).

Because there's no easy, practical way to automatically derive versions of the logo with proper bounding boxes and margins and text converted to paths, the repository includes files where this has been done.

If the logo is changed, follow this procedure to update the files:

  • Start Inkscape
  • Open original.svg
  • Select all text objects
  • Convert them to paths (Shift + Ctrl + C)
    • DO NOT SAVE original.svg AFTER THIS POINT.
  • Select all objects
  • Open Document Properties (Shift + Ctrl + D)
  • Click Resize page to content
  • Save as parts.svg
  • Delete the Powered text object
  • Select all remaining objects
  • Open Document Properties (Shift + Ctrl + D)
  • Click Resize page to content
  • Save as parts-text.svg
  • Delete the text objects (perfS and NAR)
  • Select all remaining objects
  • Open Document Properties (Shift + Ctrl + D)
  • Click Resize page to content
  • Save as parts-icon.svg.
  • Quit Inkscape
