With over 130 logos and many variants we have lots of excellent
candidates to choose from. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
please could you enforce a byte limit for the images displayed on the
list pages.
Some are STUPIDLY large, eg that one featuring some sort of rodent
which I removed.
with a modem it takes about 5 minutes for them all to load.
people should upload a smaller version ( < 30 k ?) or be disqualified
I don't know if removing them is the right course of action, or if the
size limit should be imposed on the contributor. Postage stamp
designers do not do their work on a postage stamp sized canvas.
Having the original work in a large file is preferable because it can be
scaled down. In scaling up a small file we will not be able to provide
missing detail. Trimming a contribution to 30k should be done by
software. If a scaled down logo loses too much information, we probably
shouldn't adopt it.
