CourtBot Branding and Style Guidelines

This repository contains the files for CourtBot branding. I don't want to get all corporate command-and-control, so I'm going for a minimalist approach to allow for design freedom.

Most of the files are InkScape/Scribus, due to issues with exporting CYMK color spaces from InkScape. (See http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/getting-cmyk-colors-from-inkscape-to-scribus for more details.)
