[talk-ph] Proposed OpenStreetMap Philippines Logo

[Rally de Leon]

Can we ask some people in the paper, sticker and silk-screen printing
business if the logo can be printed small enough on cloth, sticker,
paper & other materials such as mugs, without losing many details.

Last year I requested my brother to try doing the OSM logo on
embroidery for a possible souvenir patch giveaways. We had a hard time
doing the inside shadings of the Magnifying Glass. The limitation is
the numbers of stitches that can fit in an area, as well as the
10available colors in the embroidery machine. Attach is the simulated
embroidery (rendering) of the logo if we use our available thread
colors. (too bad the machine broke down even before we made the actual
embroidery). :-(

This can also be the potential limitation of any new logo design. How
small can we print it on paper & cloth? do we minimize subtle shadings
or complex artworks that may be hard to print or to embroider. On
silkscreen, small details tend to chip-off after several washing of
clothes, or in case we want to use a medium with limited colors or
shading, or even monochrome.

Or we use two alternative logos, that OSM logo, & the other with plain
OpenStreetMap Philippines or OSMPH or plain PH (for limited color
printing)?
