Usage of julia-es logo, is this ok?

In representation of the Spanish speaking community of Julia, I’d like to ask for permission to use this logo:

In all of our social media, etc. Is this ok?

Square logo for profiles:

[Stefan Karpinski]

For the sake of making the fonts match, the font is Sinhala MN Bold on OS X.

[Ismael VC]

That's right Stefan, that's what I used, in a Mac with Illustrator, but I think I didn't get the SVG right, I just added the text, but I don't know how to vectorize that part and, if I open it in another non Mac computer it looks ugly, because the font is missing.

[Jameson Nash]

Illustrator has an option, if you right-click a text box, to "create outlines", which will expand it into paths. I think saving it as an svg/png/gif/etc should accomplish the same though?

The thing is that julia-es has been invited to Campus Party Mexico, and we’ve been asked to provide a logo.

While I’m at it, I want to make it with the highest possible quality, so that I never have to end up doing it again. It would also allow us to print or display the logo in very large sizes.

[Ismael VC]

Thank you very much Nash! I'll try to do as you say tomorrow.

This are all the logos I made, I opened the SVG in a Windows computer and the part that reads Julia looks fine, but the part that reads - es does not. I think it is because the text is somehow actually not part (not merged?) of the original SVG.

I’m not good at this! And the only Mac with Illustrator I have access to is at work. It would be cool if it turns out not to be very complicated. :P

I’m open to any suggestion.

That looks quite nice... I hope you are able to get permission!

¿Hay mucha gente en Mexico que utilizan Julia ya?

[Ismael VC]

Scott: There is indeed a lot of interest (more than I expected at first) Mexico is pretty big:

Going as a community to Campus Party Mexico next month is a great chance to convert some hackers to the julian creed. Last year there where around 10,500 attendants!

Talking about permission, Stefan I assume this is ok? do I have green light?

[Ismael VC]

We've been doing meetups at UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) University City, thanks to David P. Sanders for his support, and also in a private coding school KMMX, thanks to Alejandro Mercado and I've been talking with several academics in several universities, in order to be able to do meetups in their universities, personally this is good for me also since University City is like two and a half hours from my home (with some luck). :P

Those are very nice looking. Yes, you have permission to use the Julia logo for this.

[Ismael VC]

Thank you very much Stefan!

Are they mainly into numerical/technical computing, or are you seeing interest in performance driven C/C++ programmers, who can see this as a better way to get the performance, without nearly as much code (like me)?

PD ¿Por acaso, eres pariente de Julieta? :-)  (Soy un fan, la he visto dos veces, en Salamanca y en los EEUU).

[Ismael VC]

I have meet people with all kinds of backgrounds, among them there are indeed some C++ programmers, I expect to find plenty of those at ITESM (Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education), just talk this weekend with the boyfriend of a friend of mine, he's going to introduce me with his teachers and he couldn't stop talking about how they were taught with C++, and how much he and his classmates hated that. So I have high hopes!

PD: LOL no, no soy pariente de ella, yo también soy fan! :D

[Ismael VC]

My ultimate goal is to help displace Java as the "standard" language taught in schools! ...mwwaaahahaha!!! 3:)
