The original Plone logo design was done by Vidar Andersen, this new and updated logo was done by Jola Hyjek.

The logo pack contains the following bitmap and vector variants of the logo:

• SVG format — SVG export from Illustrator.
• PDF format — opens in any application that supports PDF.
• Illustrator format — the original master which should open as a vector image in Adobe Illustrator.
• PNG format — the preferred format for web use.
  • Available pre-rendered logo heights are: 16px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 56px, 64px, 128px, 256px.
  • All images are optimized (using OptiPNG) and use alpha transparency.
  • It uses an 8-bit palette, so it works without PNG hacks even in Internet Explorer 6 (see how). However, the antialiasing is rough on the edges, so we recommend saving a version with white background instead of transparent if you need it to look perfect in IE6 too. We include a pre-rendered version with white backgrounds.
  • The images has been compressed and stripped of any color profiles (see why)
  • You can easily use the logo on backgrounds that are not white, and get great antialiasing.
