MetrANOVA Logo

This is a version of the MetrANOVA logo rendered as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).

The font used is Microsoft Terbuchet MS, which is proprietary and requires Windows or a Mac with Microsoft Office installed.

Prerequisites

Building the logo requires a system with the following available at the command line:

• ImageMagick
• Inkscape
• Make
• Tar
• Xsltproc
• Zip

On Red Hat, yum -y install ImageMagick inkscape make tar libxslt zip will install everything needed.

Building the Logo

Run make

Modifying the Logo

The original, complete version of the logo is original.svg.

It was created in Inkscape, and edits should be done there as well. The files contain Inkscape-specific XML but should still work fine with anything that wants to render it.

Because there's no easy, practical way to automatically derive versions of the logo with proper bounding boxes and margins and text converted to paths, the repository includes files where this has been done.

If the logo is changed, follow this procedure to update the files:

• Start Inkscape
• Open original.svg
• Select all text objects
• Convert them to paths (Shift + Ctrl + C)
  • DO NOT SAVE original.svg AFTER THIS POINT.
• Make all layers visible
• Open Document Properties (Shift + Ctrl + D)
• Expand _Resize page to content...`
• Make sure all four margins are set to 15.0.
• Click Resize page to drawing or selection.
• Save as parts.svg.
• Make the powered layer invisible.
• Click Resize page to drawing or selection in Document Properties.
• Save as parts-text.svg.
• Make the text layer invisible.
• Click Resize page to drawing or selection in Document Properties.
• Save as parts-icon.svg.
• Quit Inkscape
