[NeXus-tech] [NeXus-committee] New logo draft

Fri Nov 8 15:37:18 GMT 2019

Dieter, Ben:

Thanks for the new ideas.  I like these but feel compelled to set out 
two important points:

1: lower case letter "e" for the electron-source community
2: Why is the letter "X" made in contrast to any other?
    This implies an emphasis which, I believe, is unintended.

And, Tobias raised an important point.  Can we take this discussion to 
the general mailing list (nexus at nexusformat.org)?

I like Dieter's latest and Ben's example B.  We can/should discuss 
(given point 1 above) whether the letter N should be capitalized 
(historical for NeXus) or now made lower case (as in neutron).

Pete
