RE: Hi-res logo primitives
2025-07-07, 22:00
Hello,
take it as a positive criticism, it's not my intention to offend anyone, but decide once and for all what you want because I don't understand anything anymore.
The Ferrari logos have been available 10 years ago. After 5 years four became official but it's not good because they are subparts and not primitives.
The problem of high resolution is quite recent stuff. Then, those who wanted could solve it on their own by redoing the official logo and proposing their own version.
I would have been sorry, but I certainly wouldn't have eaten it.
Now one, Willy, wants them hi-res and low-res but both in the primitives folder so a user sees them immediately and chooses which one to use.
Another, Magnus, wants them in folder 48 so that he only recalls them once and the viewer chooses the best resolution. By the way, it would also have been my choice.
The basic idea of making logos for me was that.
- Once approved, they would then be immediately usable by a new designer. Choose the scale, leave space for the rectangle and recall the logo. Finished. So you have so many parts that need to look the same that actually look the same.
- Otherwise, every time you have to make a piece with a logo, you have to look for if there is a part already done, isolate the logo, scale it up and adapt it to your new part.
And after a while each one will be different from the other or at least incompatible, because you put a simplification here, move a point further to avoid an intersection. All fair and correct, but in my opinion, not in working with logos.
We have already come to this.
The logos: p/logo-ferrari-horse-lowres-box.dat and p/logo-ferrari-horse-lowres.dat released in May 2025 are incompatible with badges. And two badges were also official.
it is not Jens Brühl's fault, but the approval system which is not clear.
I understand that it's all evolving, but at some point let's set boundaries for a while and stick to those. Here, in my opinion, there have never been or have not been respected.
As for the next parts I'll send, I'll do without creating separate logos if it's that difficult, then get to the conclusion. I put the links inlined and then who wants to take them out and say hello to saving time and unity of appearance.
Sorry for the outburst.
Massimo
