Re: [openrailwaymap] Logo Drafts

Hi everybody, over the last weeks I have worked on a couple of logo drafts for OpenRailwayMap which has up to now no project logo. I have already presented prior drafts to rurseekatze, Dakon and bigbug21 – now it is time for your feedback. All drafts base on the feedback I recieved from them. I have uploaded my draft to OpenStreetMap wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Openrailwaymap-logo-selection.svg Some additional comments to my drafts: Prior drafts contained a German/Polish semaphore main signal. Because we want not to look outdated, I decided to use a light signal. The current light signal has lots of German elements but AFAIK such a signal is not used on a German railway line (it may be used by a German subway company). There are signals which look very similar to this in Kalsruhe and around Mannheim on branch lines but these signals have their white speed light signal above the green lamp. The white-red-white pole sign can be found on lots of German main signals. I do not want to have to much similarities to the OpenStreetMap logo. First, nobody can guarantee that ORM will use OSM as the single data source in future and, second, OSM logo is a trademark registred by OSMF. You can still find elements at my drafts which can also be found at the OSM logo – a folded map and some landuse and boundaries on the map. I would like to hear your feedback about my drafts. You can also create own drafts but please publish them under CC-0 or PD- self as SVG. Btw, I can distinguish red and green and therefore I would like to hear feedback from men who cannot do this. Best regards Michael
