html logo图片,用HTML5 画LOGO ,你做得到吗?!

This has been an interesting week for web design community, to

say the least. The W3C revealed a new HTML5 logo to

help designers and developers ‘tell the world’ that they’re using

HTML5.

The logo was designed by Ocupop design agency, and it’s licensed under

Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, a permissive license that allows

‘remixing’ of the licensed work. The logo has been made available

on stickers and t-shirts, and there’s a

gallery already promoting examples of the logo in use.

The logo’s official site includes a “badge builder” that

customizes its orientation and allows you to add supplementary

icons to indicate support for the different technologies that have

become associated with HTML5.

According to the W3C Blog, the purpose of the

logo is as follows:

We intend for it to be an all-purpose banner for HTML5, CSS,

SVG, WOFF, and other technologies that constitute an open web

platform. The logo does not have a specific meaning; it is not

meant to imply conformance or validity, for example. The logo

represents “the Web platform” in a very general sense.

That all-encompassing definition has met with some opposition from

Jeremy Keith. According to Keith, while he does approve of the

logo’s design, he disagrees with the blurring of the lines that

separate the web technologies that the logo is supposed to

represent. Keith doesn’t have a problem with the media using the

term “HTML5″ to cover this broad area, but he feels it’s not

appropriate to push this kind of terminology in the web development

industry.

In support of the definition, Ocupop Creative Director Michael

Nieling said in a statement that “HTML5 needs a

consistent, standardized visual vocabulary to serve as a framework

for conversations, presentations, and explanations.”

Keith’s concerns are valid. The logo will certainly strengthen

the awareness of HTML5 (which is something we all want), but it’s

difficult to accept that something like WOFF, which is a web font format and has nothing to do

with the HTML5 spec, will fall under the “HTML5″ umbrella.

Similarly, CSS3 does not belong in that scope. But interestingly,

you’ll notice in that quote from the W3C blog post that the

“all-purpose banner” includes “CSS” — so it’s not just CSS3, it’s

all of CSS. I can’t see many people being too happy about this.

And if that wasn’t enough, before the web design community had a

chance to exhale, the WHATWG Blog published a post entitled

“HTML is the new HTML5″, announcing two changes: (1)

The HTML specification will be known simply as “HTML” (dropping the

“5”); and (2) The spec will be considered a “living standard”, not just a draft, dropping

use of the “snapshot” model of development.

What Do You Think?

This article doesn’t intend to offer too much of an opinion on

these matters, as it’s still early. But we know many in the

industry want to voice their thoughts, so we’re encouraging you to

offer your comments on the logo, its stated purpose, and the

further developments on the term “HTML5” announced on the WHATWG

blog. It certainly has been an important week in web development,

so we’d love to get your thoughts on all of this.
