Logo creation

This logo was created as follows:

  • Start with the current FlightGear logo: FlightGear logo.png.
  • Open in the Gimp.
  • Split the original logo into two layers for the graphic and the text.
  • Expand the image canvas width to 1018 px.
  • Use the text tool to write 'FGAddon' with 199 px font, and the font Adventure Semi-Bold.
  • Copy the text layer and convert to a bitmap.
  • Compress the text bitmap layer to match the width of the 'F' in the original logo.
  • Use the eraser tool set to a solid 4 px circle with a hard edge to round the corners of the text.
  • Decrease the amount of space between the 'F' and 'G'.
  • Hide the layer with the original 'F'.
