CASOS Logo In SVG

Wed, Feb 9, 2005 with tags academic

Here is the old logo for CASOS. It looks okay, but it’s only in raster format and furthermore has lots of annoying artifacts from being JPEG compressed a few too many times.

I got tired of this, so I created a nice new vector image. This was done using [Inkscape](http://www.inkscape.org/) and [Autotrace](http://autotrace.sf.net/) (for the words). Now that it's SVG, not only is it smaller once compressed, but it also is infinitely scalable and convertable. If you can see the picture, [click here](/media/2005/02/casosLogo.svg) to download the SVG file. You might need the SVG Plugin from Adobe.

I was really impressed with how easy this was. There still are a few tweaks that should be done to the letters, which will reduce the file size even more, but in general it’s pretty nice for my first effort at creating a vector graphic. Inkscape and Autotrace made it terribly easy too.
