[talk-ph] Proposed OpenStreetMap Philippines Logo

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

@Mark,

I actually experimented adorning the magnifying glass handle, but it was
far too small to be effective.

@maning,

The capital star wasn't actually there at first, but I decided to add it
just to make it a bit more obvious that the map is of the Philippines. But
I'm not hooked up on that star so it can go if people prefer that. I've
also posted on the OSMPH Facebook page. :-)

@Rally,

I also plan to make a "lo-fi" version suitable for B&W printing and/or
smaller sizes. We can use the "hi-fi" version for posters, tarpaulins, and
the like. I know that this could work for stickers as well maybe around
2"x2" since I've seen stickers bearing the official OSM logo.

The embroidered logo looks pretty nice and intricate. :-)
