HSF Logos

This directory contains the HSF logo redone in SVG (Inkscape), after the original version done my Joschka Lingemann.

  • hsf-logo-text.svg classic HSF logo, including the full “HEP Software Foundation” text at the bottom
  • hsf-logo-no-text.svg no text at the bottom
  • hsf-logo-text-pale.svg interaction lines in white, with the bottom text lighter grey
  • hsf-logo-shield-full.svg chunkier version of the logo much more suited to making shields on (as these logos are dark, the interaction lines are white in this version)
  • hsf-logo-shield-s-only.svg shield logo that only has the interaction lines and the “S”

For shield logos, the SVG is base64 encoded, then passed in as a URL parameter. See shields.io documentation.

To get the base64 encoding of one of the logos, try:

base64 -o - -i hsf-logo-shield-full.svg

Then this is the URL request for the gold logo.

N.B. This is quite big (6109 chars), but shields.io doesn’t seem to mind!

Colour Notes

The HSF red is #aa0000. The lower text is grey 40%, aka #999999.
