Logos?

[Pawel Szymczykowski]

Do we have a Code for Vegas logo or any special site requirements? I think I’m going to play around with it soon.

Is there a central github group you all share?

There's no Github organization yet, not sure about a logo. FWIW, it looks like many of the brigades have gone with Jekyll; here's a template:

Thanks James,

Jekyll is great for this. I’m using it as well. Here’s where I am so far:

Lot of content layout work to do still, but feedback welcome.

That looks fantastic, Pawel!  I dig the layout.  The logo looks a little weird though. :)

[Pawel Szymczykowski]

Haha, forgot about that. Sorry - I took some liberties with it because the amount of slightly awkward whitespace in it and the balance were driving me a bit crazy. Also didn’t look good smaller because of the font size vs the decorative parts of the logo.

Can keep hacking at it or go back to the original. Is it the proportions that bug you?

[Shawn Looker]

No, its the weird black spaces in some places.  It seems like it should all be white for the background.  I'm fine with you editing it, though. :)

[Pawel Szymczykowski]

Oh yeah - totes weird. I didn't notice when I was first exporting it because it was on a white background. Will fix. :)

Just noticed that there's also a CfA style guide with colors and what-not:
