Re: [ubl] Revised logos for discussion

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

The feedback is great!

Putting the annotations outside of the enclosed shape makes the logo 
difficult to use on any kind of background. I have used a very dark 
green background very successfully with the logo as it has been 
proposed because the annotations are on the white background provided 
by the globe. Not only might the background style render the 
annotations illegible, the association of the annotations with UBL is 
subject to whatever other information surrounds the logo.

What triggered this review is the need for a presenter in Germany to 
include the UBL logo on a page of a dozen other logos of other 
technologies. Another logo would likely appear adjacent above or 
below the UBL logo and so, I believe, the logo should be 
all-encompassed in some manner.

Boxing the annotated globes would achieve that, however.

The "UBL Ready" logo http://www.ublready.nl/ doesn't convey any 
information that distinguishes our "UBL" from other "UBL"s when out of context.

This is our opportunity to create something new we are all happy with 
... suggestions welcome. The double-hemisphere continent outline has 
been (painstakingly) redrawn in its entirety to save space, per the 
discussion on Wednesday, so no longer is the argument of its file 
size a reason to discard it, but it can be discarded still if need be.
