Bitmap usage samples: - http://www.gentoo.de/img/logo-2006.png - http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/xml/images/wwwcontest/contest4_front.png?revision=1.1&view=markup Note the difference in letters "g" and "e" especially.
Can you please prepare a vector graphic for the trustees to review and sanction?
First link is broken, probably need status update if this is still needed, etc.

As background context, in 2004, there was a www redesign contest. The winning visual design (entry #4), including this modern font, was submitted by curtis119, who then tried to actually get something production. ~18 months later, the redesign effort was abandoned: https://blogs.gentoo.org/curtis119/2006/04/11/www_redesign_contest_is_dead_praise_diet/ I don't think the "modern" font version as seen here was ever used on any official gentoo.org site, and only existed in the www redesign contest in website variant. I seem to think that the logo text DID see usage on some media, which is where it gets interesting... gentoo/xml/images/artwork is the old public artwork CVS path, but was by no means the only artwork efforts. There is a CVS module called 'gaming', that contained the assets for the short-lived Gentoo Games Inc entity. The lasting results of that were the turnkey ISO images for running Unreal Tournament and other games. That might be worth checking out. I don't have a copy to hand, but you should be able to cvs co still. There is also the x11-themes/gentoo-artwork-livecd package, of which the 2007.0 media DEFINITELY has the same font as logo-2006.png. There's the related media assets created by wolf31o2, but to the best of my knowledge, I've never seen anything EXCEPT final bitmap output. drwxr-xr-x root/users 0 2007-04-13 11:12 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/splash-themes-livecd/ -rw-r--r-- root/users 3447608 2006-08-08 18:32 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/splash-themes-livecd/gentoo-livecd-2006.1-0.9.4.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- root/users 4887028 2005-03-02 21:05 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/splash-themes-livecd/gentoo-livecd-2005.0-0.9.1.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- root/users 13000381 2005-07-10 01:21 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/splash-themes-livecd/gentoo-livecd-2005.1-0.9.2.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- root/users 1790707 2004-10-12 22:23 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/splash-themes-livecd/splash-themes-livecd-2004.3.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- root/users 3207382 2006-02-08 22:51 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/splash-themes-livecd/gentoo-livecd-2006.0-0.9.3.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- root/users 4627423 2007-04-13 02:09 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/splash-themes-livecd/gentoo-livecd-2007.0-0.3.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- root/users 4760038 2007-04-13 11:12 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/splash-themes-livecd/gentoo-livecd-2007.0-0.9.5.tar.bz2 drwxr-xr-x root/users 0 2007-04-12 18:58 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/gdm-themes-livecd/ -rw-r--r-- root/users 24260 2006-08-30 13:31 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/gdm-themes-livecd/gdm-themes-livecd-2006.1.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- root/users 144080 2007-04-12 20:43 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/gdm-themes-livecd/gdm-themes-livecd-2007.0.tar.bz2 drwxr-xr-x root/users 0 2007-04-12 14:50 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/gentoo-artwork-livecd/ -rw-r--r-- root/users 3760355 2007-04-12 14:50 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/gentoo-artwork-livecd/gentoo-artwork-livecd-2007.0.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- root/users 1810876 2006-08-08 20:23 wolf31o2/public_html/sources/gentoo-artwork-livecd/gentoo-artwork-livecd-2006.1.tar.bz2
There also is https://gentoo-ev.org/assets/images/shop.png which contains 3 additional letters. So I wonder if this is a font for the whole alphabet, or only an incomplete collection of letter images.
Reassigning to artwork project, as discussed in today's trustees meeting.
