<div>==Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark localization guide==<br />
<br />
'''This guide is intended for project volunteers who wish to construct localized versions of the new Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark combination, specifically to replace previous versions on all language editions of Wikipedia.'''<br />
<br />
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg|right|thumb|250px|The official English Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark]]<br />
Following the introduction of the [[Wikimedia official marks|revised Wikipedia puzzle globe]], the Foundation's usability team revisited the construction of localized versions of the Wikipedia wordmark (the stylized version of the word Wikipedia with upper case W and A, and the tagline underneath the wordmark: "The free encyclopedia.")<br />
<br />
Together, the wordmark and puzzle globe form the most visible brand identifier for Wikipedia in all of our languages.<br />
<br />
In order to facilitate localization of the wordmark across hundreds of different languages, including dozens of character set varieties, the usability team introduced the use of the open source typeface [[:en:Linux Libertine|Linux Libertine]] to replace the proprietary typeface Hoeffler for low-resolution, screen-based implementations of the Wikipedia wordmark. New customizations of the Wikipedia wordmark and puzzle globe can be stored on the Wikimedia Commons, where they will be permanently stored and used in the standard Wikipedia style sheet.<br />
<br />
Volunteers and project contributors who wish to construct localized, non-English versions of the Wikipedia wordmark and puzzle globe can use this guide to construct localized versions of the Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark for use on different language editions of Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
A full gallery of all variations of the Wikipedia wordmark, in both PNG and SVG formats can be found on the [[commons:Wikipedia/2.0|Wikimedia Commons]].<br />
<br />
==Getting started==<br />
===Use blueprint file===<br />
Use this blueprint SVG file to construct localized versions of the mark:<br />
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg]]<br />
<br />
===The type face: Linux Libertine===<br />
The official type face for creating localized versions of the Wikipedia wordmark is Linux Libertine.<br />
* Visit its page on Wikipedia for information about the type face: [[w:Linux Libertine|Linux Libertine on Wikipedia]]<br />
* Download the font-file [[:File:LinLibertineO 473.zip]] (you will need to unzip and install the font)<br />
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Only use the font version: "LinLibertine_Re-4.7.3.otf", since this is slighty modified espacially for us!<br />
<br />
===Alternative type faces===<br />
If LinuxLibertine does not support your language, a different OpenSource font has to be used. We recommend:<br />
* Chinese: [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/CJKUnifonts/Download AR PL UMing]<br />
* Arabic: [http://cooltext.com/Download-Font-Kacst+Office KACST Office]<br />
* Devanagari: [http://madanpuraskar.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=19&Itemid=63 Kalimati]<br />
<br />
===Software===<br />
You can use [http://www.inkscape.org/download/ Inkscape], the opensource illustration software to create the new puzzle globe and wordmark file and [http://www.gimp.org/ Gimp] to create a PNG-file.<br />
<br />
==Wikipedia wordmark creation grid==<br />
Use the grid below to precisely position the localized variants of the Wikipedia workdmark and the "Free encyclopedia" tagline underneath (this grid is included in the blueprint file).<br />
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2 grid guideline.jpg|center|500px]] <br />
Dimensions for the creation of the puzzle globe and wordmark are clearly marked on the accompanying grid.<br />
* Text should not appear outside of these dimensions or limits.<br />
* Don't change the globe: please maintain its dimension and position.<br />
<br />
===Wordmark===<br />
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-HowTo-25.jpg|thumb|400px|This is the stylized Wikipedia W]]<br />
* The "W" in the Wikipedia wordmark is a customized "W" character, known as the "stylized Wikipedia W." It is not a standard, LinLibertine O "W" character.<br />
* When a "W" appears as the first character of the Wikipedia wordmark, it must use the stylized Wikipedia "W". See [[Wikimedia official marks/Word mark creation/howto W|this page]] for an explaination of how to insert it.<br />
* The main '''WikipediA''' wordmark typeface height is 27pt in LinLibertine O.<br />
* The first and last characters of the 'WikipediA' wordmark must use upper-case characters.<br />
* Everything in between must use small-caps characters. See [[Wikimedia official marks/Word mark creation/howto smallcapps|this page]] for detailed instructions.<br />
* In all cases the typeface should appear as 100% black.<br />
* If you have changed one or some letters of the word "WikipediA", please maintain its kerning-values. See [[Wikimedia official marks/Word mark creation/howto kerning|this page]] for detailed instructions.<br />
<br />
====Wordmark does not fit====<br />
In some cases the localized wordmark does not fit into the textfield (which is 119px wide).<br />
It might be:<br />
* Too long, so it cannot be displayed completly. See [[Wikimedia official marks/Word mark creation/howto toolong|this page]] for an explaination of how to fix that.<br />
* Too short, so the spacing between the letters becomes too big. See [[Wikimedia official marks/Word mark creation/howto tooshort|this page]] for an explaination of how to fix that.<br />
<br />
===Tagline===<br />
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-HowTo-23.jpg|thumb|wordmark and tagline]]<br />
* The main tagline '''The free Encyclopedia''' text uses '''non-italicized''' (except for Cyrillic text, see below) 13pt LinLibertine typeface.<br />
* Cyrillic text ''should be'' italicized because of the improved readability and design of italic text. Also 13pt LinLibertine. <br />
* The tagline should fit full width below the wordmark. Therefor you should use the textfield of the blueprint file (which is 119px wide, and fully justified).<br />
<br />
====Tagline does not fit====<br />
In some cases the localized tagline does not fit, because it is either:<br />
* Too long, so the text breaks into another line. See [[Wikimedia official marks/Word mark creation/howto tagline toolong|this page]] for how to fix that.<br />
* Too short, so ugly gaps between the words appear. See [[Wikimedia official marks/Word mark creation/howto tagline tooshort|this page]] for how to fix that.<br />

==Preparing files for upload==<br />
===Creating a PNG===<br />
We recommend to use Gimp or another graphic production package (Photoshop etc), since the png quality uses to better using Gimp/Photoshop than with Inkscape/Illustrator.<br />
<br />
'''1. Create a new file with these preferences:'''<br />
* width: 135px<br />
* height: 155px<br />
* resolution 72 dpi<br />
* color mode: RGB<br />
* under '''color profile,''' or a similar setting, chose 'no color management'<br />
<br />
'''2. Insert the logo from Inkscape or another illustration program:'''<br />
* copy the objects from Inkscape and paste them into the newly-created file in the graphics program<br />
* with photoshop you'll get good results when you insert it as a "smart object"<br />
<br />
'''3. Position:'''<br />
* Position the object with respect to the grid<br />
(Usually this means: X-position is: 68px and the Y-position is 100px)<br />
* The distance between bottom of the file and baseline of the desciptor has to be 4px. (Keep this in mind if you have changed the fontsize of the descriptor.)<br />
* Ensure the background information (white or other color) are deleted, since we need a png-file with transparent background.<br />
<br />
'''4. Save your file as a PNG:'''<br />
* In Photoshop, click on "Save for web" (Top Navigation: "File": "Save for Web")<br />
* In Gimp or other programs look for a web-friendly format.<br />
* Choose png-24<br />
* Make sure "transparency" is checked<br />
* Name your file like this: "Wikipedia-logo-v2-" + language Code<br />
** For example (for slovak Wikipedia) "Wikipedia-logo-v2-sk"<br />
* Upload the PNG format to the Wikimedia Commons [[commons:Wikipedia/2.0|logo gallery]]<br />
<br />
===Creating an SVG===<br />
'''Use Inkscape or Illustrator.'''<br /><br />
'''1.Save the file as SVG'''<br />
In Inkscape and Illustrator: "Top Navigation": "File": "Save as"<br /><br />
'''2. Use this setting'''<br />
Inkscape: "Inkscape SVG"<br />
Illustrator: "SVG 1.1" and "Text: Convert into path"<br />

<div>==Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark localization guide==<br />
<br />
'''This guide is intended for project volunteers who wish to construct localized versions of the new Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark combination, specifically to replace previous versions on all language editions of Wikipedia.'''<br />
<br />
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg|right|thumb|250px|The official English Wikipedia puzzle globe and wordmark]]<br />
Following the introduction of the [[Wikimedia official marks|revised Wikipedia puzzle globe]], the Foundation's usability team revisited the construction of localized versions of the Wikipedia wordmark (the stylized version of the word Wikipedia with upper case W and A, and the tagline underneath the wordmark: "The free encyclopedia.")<br />
<br />
Together, the wordmark and puzzle globe form the most visible brand identifier for Wikipedia in all of our languages.<br />
<br />
In order to facilitate localization of the wordmark across hundreds of different languages, including dozens of character set varieties, the usability team introduced the use of the open source typeface [[:en:Linux Libertine|Linux Libertine]] to replace the proprietary typeface Hoeffler for low-resolution, screen-based implementations of the Wikipedia wordmark.

<hr />
<div>In some cases the localized tagline appears very short. This creates a huge gap between the words. You can adjust this by adding a positive value to the letterspacing.<br /><br />
Example: If the tagline would be "Great encyklopédia" a huge, not nice looking gap appears. By adjusting the letterspacing to a value of "40" the gap turns much smaller and the tagline looks nicer. <br />
<br />
<br />
==tagline almost fits==<br />
In most cases the tagline appears will almost fit.<br />
===Illustrator===<br />
* Open the character window (Top Navigation: "Type": "Character")<br />
* Select the whole tagline<br />
* Add a positive value to the tracking panel<br />
* Please don't use a letterspacing value more than '''"50".'''<br />
===Inkscape===<br />
Letter spacing cannot be adjusted using usual dialog menus. By using Edit -> SVG Editor... you can modify the style attribute of the text object. Adding the setting ";letter-spacing:X" where "X" is any decimal figure between 0.01 and 0.99 at the end of the style property will shorten the spacing between letters. If the space requires further widening in order to stretch to fit on the graphic, slightly manually resizing the width of the text is an option. Some text is impossible to widen enough to appear practical below the Wikipedia logo. In such cases (see [[commons:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-ht.svg]]) the text should remain at normal spacing and width.<br />
<br />
==tagline much too short==<br />
Sometimes the tagline is much too small and a letterspacing of more than 50 would be necessary to let the gap disappear. This is an extra case, where you can let the tagline be less wide than the wordmark, by changing the setting of the textfield from "Justify all lines" to "Align center"<br />
===Illustrator===<br />
* Open the paragraph window (Top Navigation: "Type": "Paragraph")<br />
* Select the whole tagline<br />
* Click on the centered-icon <br />
===Inkscape===<br />

<div>In some cases the localized tagline becomes too long and cannot be displayed in one line in the provided textfield.<br />
<br />
==Tagline almost fits==<br />
In most cases the tagline will almost fit and you can easily adjust the letterspacing to make it fit perfect:<br />
<br />
===Illustrator===<br />
* Make sure the textfield is selected<br />
* Use the letterspacing panel of the character window ("Top Navigation": "Type": "Character") to add a negative value until the descriptor fits well (try "-1", "-2", "-3",... until it fits)<br />
* Please don't use a value less than "-30"<br />
===Inkscape===<br />
Letter spacing cannot be adjusted using usual dialog menus. By using Edit -> SVG Editor... you can modify the style attribute of the text object. Adding the setting ";letter-spacing:-X" where "X" is any decimal figure between 0.01 and 0.99 at the end of the style property will shorten the spacing between letters. If the space requires further shortening in order to fit on the graphic, manually resizing the width of the text is an option.<br />
<br />
==Tagline much too long==<br />
If the tagline is too long and a letterspacing of less than "-30" would be necessary, you have to reduce the fontsize to 12px:<br />
<br />
===Illustrator===<br />
* Use the fontsize panel of the character window<br />
* type 12<br />
===Inkscape===<br />
See above.<br />
<br />
==Special case: it still does not fit==<br />
If the tagline does not fit in 12pt with a spacing of "-30) you may enlarge the widht of the textfield.<br />
(adopt these [[Wikimedia_official_marks/Word_mark_creation/howto_toolong#Wordmark_much_too_long| instructions]])<br /><br />
'''Attention:''' You have to enlarge the textfield for "WikipediA" as well to keep both textfields at the same width!</div>Cary Basshttps://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Legal:Wikimedia_trademarks/Word_mark_creation/howto_tagline_toolong&diff=46839Legal:Wikimedia trademarks/Word mark creation/howto tagline toolong2010-05-26T21:12:31Z<p>Cary Bass: /* Inkscape */</p>

<div>In some cases the localized word for "Wikipedia" is too long and does not fit into the provided textfield. <br />
<br />
==Wordmark almost fits==<br />
If the wordmark almost fits you can make it fit by adding a negativ value for the letter spacing (or "tracking").<br />
===Illustrator===<br />
* Open the character window ("Top Navigation": "Type": "Character")<br />
* Select all characters of the wordmark<br />
* Use the tracking panel to add a negative value<br />

Letter spacing cannot be adjusted using usual dialog menus. By using Edit -> SVG Editor... you can modify the style attribute of the text object. Adding the setting ";letter-spacing:-X" where "X" is any decimal figure between 0.01 and 0.99 at the end of the style property will shorten the spacing between letters. If the space requires further shortening in order to fit on the graphic, slightly manually resizing the width of the text (including the "W" character) is an option. If any further shrinking would be required, using the English "WikipediA" mark is an alternative.<br />
<br />
==Wordmark much too long==<br />
This szenario happens when the wordmark still doesn't fit in the textfield if you use a spacing of "-30".<br />
This happens for the Russian Logo for example. In this case you may enlarge the width of the textfield:<br />
<br />
'''Attention:''' You will have to enlarge the width of the tagline as well!<br />
<br />
===Illustrator===<br />
* Open Transform window (Top Navigation: "Window": "Transform")<br />
* Make sure the textfield is selected<br />

<hr />
<div>In some cases you will notice, that the new inserted letter appears very close to one neighboored letter and too far away from the other neigboor. In this case you will have to manually correct the kerning:<br />
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-HowTo-27.jpg| thumb| 400px| Adjust the space between the letters]]<br />
<br />
==Illustrator==<br />
* Click between the letters <br />
* Use the kerning-panel at the character window ("Top Navigation": "Window": "Type": "Character") to add the value of your choice <br />
* If you basically maintain the letters "WikipediA" and just exchange one letter with a variation of that letter please copy the kerning values from the blueprint file.<br />
** For Example: For french we would like to exchange the "E" with "É", while everythin else remains. If we first delete the "E" and than insert the "É" the original kerning will be reset. The blueprint file uses a kerning of "0" between "P" and "E" and a kerning of "20" between "E" and "D". So we have to manually adjust the kerning between "É" and "D".<br />
<br />

<div>In some cases you will notice, that the new inserted letter appears very close to one neighboored letter and too far away from the other neigboor. In this case you will have to manually correct the kerning:<br />
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-HowTo-27.jpg| thumb| 400px| Adjust the space between the letters]]<br />
<br />
==Illustrator==<br />
* Click between the letters <br />
* Use the kerning-panel at the character window ("Top Navigation": "Window": "Type": "Character") to add the value of your choice <br />
* If you basically maintain the letters "WikipediA" and just exchange one letter with a variation of that letter please copy the kerning values from the blueprint file.<br />
** For Example: For french we would like to exchange the "E" with "É", while everythin else remains. If we first delete the "E" and than insert the "É" the original kerning will be reset. The blueprint file uses a kerning of "0" between "P" and "E" and a kerning of "20" between "E" and "D". So we have to manually adjust the kerning between "É" and "D".<br />

<div>Make sure you use '''"LinLibertine_Re-4.7.3.otf"''', cause the Wikipedia "W" is not included in any other file!<br />
<br />
For the logo you should just be able to use the "W" from the blueprint. But whenever you need to type the Wikipedia "W" you will need to insert it as a special character.<br />
You can insert it by typing its Unicode: '''U+e02f'''<br />

or<br />

==Illustrator==<br />
Illustrator supports a very convenient method to insert special characters: The Glyphs.<br />
You can find Glyphs at the "Top Navigation": "Type": "Glyphs.<br />
<br />
These steps may help to get it:<br />
* Type a capital "W" (you will get the original Libertine W)<br />
* Select it (with the text-tool)<br />
* Open the glyphs<br />
* Use the dropdown menu to chose "Alternative characters"<br />
* Some alternative "W"s will appear: Choose the Wikipedia "W" (with crossed strokes)<br />
<br />
==Inkscape==<br />
Depending on your platform, you should be able to insert a character from your system's "Character Map" software. Use the Linux Libertine O font and character U+E02F from the private use area. Alternatively, you can highlight and copy this character: <span style="font-family:Linux Libertine O"></span>.</div>Cary Basshttps://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Legal:Wikimedia_trademarks/Word_mark_creation/howto_smallcaps&diff=46833Legal:Wikimedia trademarks/Word mark creation/howto smallcaps2010-05-26T20:30:44Z<p>Cary Bass: /* Inkscape */ removed overcomplication of simple information</p>
