Vorbis - Oct 2003 - Ogg & Ogg Vorbis _unofficial_ logos page.

Hi all,

I've just set up a web page with my functional, yet very ugly and _very 
unofficial_ set of logos for Ogg, Ogg Vorbis and family.

http://www.marevalo.net/OggLogos

They have been desinged with the classic CD and DVD corporate logos in mind.

If someone has any problem with them or the web page please contact me.

<p>Nice work!

Off-topic:
Did you use OpenOffice.org Draw to make the logos? How do you like it?
I've been looking for a GOOD vector drawing program (preferably 
supporting SVG). I've tried Sodipodi, but I can't get it to run more 
than a few minutes before it segfaults.

Felicitaciones Marcelo! Me parecen fabulosos logos minimalistas. Justo
lo que se necesitan para los paquetes de los productos que soportan
Ogg.Por ahí deberías enviárselos a Jack Moffitt. El te podrá decir si
los endorsan, si ya tienen otros preparados (que no sería raro, el
soporte de iRiver lo escribió Monty) o si simplemente no dicen nada.

Congratulations Marcelo! I think this are amazing minimalistic logos.
Just what's needed for the packaging of an ogg supporting device.
May be you should talk to Jack Moffitt. He's the one who will tell you
whether this can be endorsed by Xiph, if there are some official ones
in the pipeline (after all, the ogg vorbis support on iRiver products
was written by Monty & Co.) or if simply they will not make any
statement.

+1 Adopt! I like these logos... as a suggestion, tho, I would make the 
text for the encapsulated codec larger, and move it out of the box, as 
in the DVD logos.
