[talk-ph] Proposed OpenStreetMap Philippines Logo

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi guys,

It seems that the design with the 3 stars + sun is the overwhelming
favorite among respondents on an informal Facebook poll:
https://www.facebook.com/OSMPH/posts/136076383227310

If there are no further comments, we'll start using that design as the
OSMPH logo (minus the capital star on Manila, per maning's request). I'll
also start creating a simpler design suitable for B&W and other situations
where the complex logo can't be reproduced accurately.

Cheers!
Eugene
