Hi, I'm looking for a version of the R-Project logo in SVG format. I've found the bitmapped versions, http://developer.r-project.org/Logo/ but would prefer a scalable version as it usually looks better when printed. Where may I find one? -Lars Lars Nooden (lars at umich.edu) On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog ... ... until you start barking.

After you created one and submitted it to us probably at the same place as the bitmaps. In the meantime it will have to suffice that you use all we have, and that are the bitmaps (the logo was done by a volunteer who chose to use a bitmapped graphics program). It is not like we keep the good stuff back on purpose ... Best, Fritz

It does look like it would be near-impossible to parameterise the logo efficiently into a vector format - all that shading and 3-d effect stuff. The largest PNG file there is 1450x1100 pixels which at 300 dpi gives you a 4-inch logo. Although looking at it full-size on my monitor reveals some artifacts in the 3-d shading... Do any other materials exist for making the logo? A description of the fonts used, a 3-d model R and O-shape, a layered PSD or XCF file, or a Gimp/Photoshop macro set for getting that effect? I dont believe this was painted pixel-by-pixel... When was the last time the mailing list had a 'need a new logo' thread? Barry

These days, most vector graphics programs provide gradient shading primitives - that's all you need to recreate most 3D effects. Hadley
