Funkadelic Happening

I arrived, last night, in Corpus Christi at the Hilton where I had been staying for the first 7 of the 8 weeks of this project.  No running this morning because I didn't get to Corpus until about 10:30, but I did do about 30-40 minutes of core work.  I'll be running in the morning.

On Friday, I did pick up the stationery and it looks nice.  I was a stickler for wanting some things, as usually I'll acquiesce.  But, the stationery is something that has to look good and has to continually represent the brand.  I had troubles making sure the logo's main font (Meiryo) was being used consistently on every thing and the right shade of blue.  There are 2 different fonts in the logo and 3 different sizes.

One printer didn't know how to convert the different types of colors into the color that were being used on the logo.  I had to go find the website that does color conversions and give her the color in 4 different conventions (SMS, Hex, RGB and another one), plus get sheets on the fonts.  This particular printer was happy just making Xeroxes and making business cards with black ink on a white card in her business, which is why I found a printer in Corpus to do it.

So, the blue color in the logo is Hex #4ACOF2.  Or if you want to check it out in Excel, go to a blank spreadsheet, highlight the whole tab, click on the little down arrow on the bucket that colors the background, click on "More Colors", then click on 'Custom', Color Model box should be RGB, then input 74 in the Red box, 192 in the Green box, and 242 in the Blue box, then hit OK.  The result is the whole tab should be this baby bluish color.

The color wasn't my pick, but done by the graphic designer that created the logo and I liked it.  Printed on the business card, it's a little darker than in Excel, which is normal due to the monitor's interpretation.

That's it for today.
