The logo in the about window misses the word "JOSM" on the pencil.

missing in this wiki too (with firefox):

It's a regression from r8442.

browser/josm/trunk/images/logo.svg => OK with Firefox

The new version of the logo that also displays the word JOSM on the pencil

Before-After comparison of the word JOSM (the left version needs masks and thus can't be displayed in JOSM easily)

[floscher]

Comparison of three versions of the JOSM logo (as displayed in JOSM): 1. How the logo displayed before 8442 2. How the logo would be displayed when using clip-paths 3. How I propose to change the logo, realized without clip-path nor masks

[floscher]

I now tried to fix the logo. But it turned out it's not easily solvable, because SVG Salamander does not support masks and the alternative of using clip-path is also not really viable because these clip only full pixels, which results in blocky artifacts (stairs at diagonal edges and small features become unreadable).

So I now changed the word JOSM to not appear like it's engraved in the pencil, but to stick out. This can be realized without masks or clip-paths:

Here is a comparison of how the different logos appear in JOSM's "About" dialog:

1. before version 8442 of JOSM
2. when using clip-path to create the "engraved" effect (which wouldn't be noticable at this resolution anyway)
3. The way I propose to do it, displaying the word JOSM sticking out of the pencil (see logo-new.svg)

Sounds like a good idea.

I like it a lot! Thanks :)
