[Chapter-delegates] On visual identity of FB pages

[Greg Wood]

Hello,

As has already been discussed in this thread, adaptation of the rectangular logo form to the square space often provided is not necessarily straightforward.

I wanted to be let you know that we have looked at the issue of adapting the Internet Society logo--particularly the Chapter editions--to the requirements of social media sites but have not yet landed on a perfect solution. As Dan Graham noted, we have adopted a particular approach with regard to the Internet Society's Facebook presence (https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety).

The discussion on this thread about the various approaches Chapters have taken has been very helpful, and we will take another look at what dedicated resources we might develop to support Chapter activities.

Thank you,

-Greg

Click on "change picture" (when you mouse over your logo), then "edit thumbnail"). For an example, see: http://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety
