[geeklog-devel] Geeklog 1.7.1rc1 & looking ahead

Rouslan if you are going to work on some icons for us (that would be great)
maybe a style/graphics guideline should be started. If you want, you could
start one in the Geeklog Wiki that you and others could add to over time.

>> As far as GL logo goes, I'm available to do work on it, if this is
required.

Cool. My plan is to update the current professional theme and remove all
table references, etc. by 1.8.0. It would be nice if we could have an
updated icon set and a slightly retouched logo to go along with that. We are
looking at doing a complete theme/homepage redesign, but not until later so
a complete logo redesign wouldn't make sense until then.

I guess the first thing we need to do is get a full list of icons that need
updating (default topics, command and control, print, edit, etc.). 

Thanks

Tom

We don't really have any style guidelines. Regarding design, we're all
amateurs here.

Simon Lord (who also designed the current Geeklog logo) was our "house
artist" for a long time. This position has been vacant since Simon moved on.

I don't really see the need for an entirely new logo - unless someone comes
up with something fresh and convincing, of course. The current logo may need
some retouching to better fit with whatever comes out of the efforts for a
new site design.

That's because one of those amateurs (read: me) did that at one point and
nobody has ever bothered to provide a better version. A higher-res version
of the Geeklog logo is available here:
