Hello!

I’d like to use the logo from the wiki. I’ve found two images in the
savannah web repository [1], but I was not able to find any
vector-format source file for those. Are any “source” files available?
Are the pictures GPLed?

any luck.

Maybe I’ll try to rebuild it and guess the colors and fonts. Should not
be to difficult. Any hints for the used fonts? Otherwise I’ll use
something free available / suitable licensed.

What about contributing back? Is as Creative Commons license OK? I find
GPL for artwork not easy applicable. See

IIRC Arial == Helvetica. Not sure about Georgia.

According to wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_(typeface)

Georgia closely resembles Times New Roman.

I made 2 new versions with DejaVue (Bitsream Vera) and FreeFont fonts.

I’d like to use the free fonts. Any interest in the sources of the image
(SVG)?

I made a look-alike and two “improved” versions. See

http://www.student.tugraz.at/patrick.strasser/gnuradio/gnuradio12.html

My colors are not perfectly matching the original…

Fonts seem to be Microsoft Georgia for “GNU Radio” and Microsoft Arial
monospace for “the gnu software radio”.

I’ve made two versions, one with the waves up, and one with the waves on
the right side. PNGs and SVG can be found at

I licensed it with Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Austria, which
should make it includable in GNU Radio.
