FreeBSD Trademark Redrawn Logo (Flat 1:1) | (Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho's Visuals

While FreeBSD offers great operating system products, communities, and services to the general public, its provided trademark brand logos were:

1. Locked behind a very expensive proprietary software which is hostile to its own open-source customers that forces them to use MacOS or Windows; AND
2. The provided eps vector file, after transforming into svg using Inkscape, has a number of bitmap (non-vector) image overlaying layers; AND
3. I really love FreeBSD OS as they are really solving the hard problems seamlessly and very friendly to commercialization.
4. I want to contribute back to the community.

Therefore, this project was born. The FlatUI design was properly traced and colored as specified by its engineering specifications (https://freebsdfoundation.org/about-us/about-the-foundation/project/). This particular repository houses the 1:1 (e.g. 1200x1200 or 512x512 square vector images).

Below is are the rendered outputs from the re-drawned principal canva file:

Maintainers' Notes

Please read through FreeBSD Project's Trademark Engineering Specification (https://freebsdfoundation.org/about-us/about-the-foundation/project/) before editing to avoid any unwanted legal implications.

While not specified by FreeBSD Foundation, please ensure the outputs are also web ready. Refer:

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/How_to/Define_app_icons
• https://web.dev/articles/maskable-icon
• https://developer.x.com/en/docs/x-for-websites/cards/overview/summary-card-with-large-image
• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/

Please ONLY USE open source image editing software specifically:

• GIMP (https://gimp.org/) - for their very amazing alternate format exports (e.g. avif, webp, jpg, ico, and png).
• Inkscape (https://inkscape.org/) - for vector graphics maintenances and exporting SVG plain vector files.

For directory organizations:

• The principal canvas MUST BE SAVED in inkscape SVG format and retain all legal attributes (license, copyright, etc). The files MUST HAVE inkscape- prefixes to avoid confusion. They are saved inside /Pictures/trademarks/principal-canvas directory.
• The exported svg MUST BE IN Plain SVG format and retain all legal attributes (license, copright, etc). The files MUST NOT HAVE inkscape- prefixes. They are saved inside /Pictures/trademarks directory.
• The main-course MUST always be .svg as end-user can use GIMP to convert into other formats.
• Therefore, additional non-text based images (e.g. .ico, .jpg, .webp, and .avif) should be published in Release section as "Good to Have" convenient side-dishes.
