@Jack, it's interesting...

I spent another day to refactor and work on CSS for the website.

Here is what I got so far https://skitch.com/samnang/8m56e/hackerspace-phnom-penh-cambodias-geek-hq

I have pushed the commits into another another branch https://bitbucket.org/hackerspacepp/hackerspacepp-home-page/changesets/tip/branch(%22refactoring%22)

Looks great!


About the logo, I just used fonts, not proper graphics/SVG etc.
I've attached the file I worked on, sorry it's in Mac OS TextEdit
format, and a copy exported to PDF, I'm not sure if the PDF
version preserves fonts/formats or just contains a graphic
representation, so I hope you can read it.

Basically the font I used for the logo text is Ubuntu Mono with
"hacker" in bold and "space" normal (notice I started the design
using courier, and tried a couple of others before settling on
Ubuntu Mono), and the circles in the logo are just a character
from the "Heiti TC" font (which is perhaps mac specific, I've
never heard of it before - I just wanted circles).
It's a bit of a hack, and maybe a real designer with the right
tools could put together a better and more portable version?

Jack.
