Thread: Advertising Space
Hi all, I have some advertising space on my website and would be happy to use it for some PostgreSQL ads. I currently use Google ads and they allow me to replace their advert with one of my own when they are unable to find one suitable for the page. At the moment this is not really being used for much but I would be willing to advertise PostgreSQL. For details on what is required: http://smallr.com/1c5 I can either host the images on my site or if anyone else is on here and using adsense then it might be an idea to add the images to the postgresql website and then everyone can use it. If nothing else its another link to the PostgreSQL website. Regards, Harry -- http://www.hjackson.org http://www.uklug.co.uk

Can you peruse the graphics at http://www.postgresql.org/community/propaganda and possibly at http://pgfoundry.org/docman/?group_id=1000089 and see if there is anything there that jumps out at you?

I will have a look at these tomorrow. Google has some very specific requirements with regards to sizing. If none of them fit I can have a play with them. Better still, if the person is on here who created the images then they may be better qualified to sort the images out than me but I don't mind doing it as a stop gap.

Does anyone know what font was used for the images. The images above are all the wrong size so I am trying to create some other images from them. -- Harry http://www.hjackson.org http://www.uklug.co.uk

Here are some examples. These images have been thrown together by me to adhere to the google sizes. If there is some reason that makes them unsuitable for display (licence, grotesque) let me know and I will take them off the site. http://www.uklug.co.uk/images/postgresql-powered-728x90.png http://www.uklug.co.uk/images/postgresql-powered-160x600.png The following page should display the 160x600 image. http://www.uklug.co.uk/cgi-bin/get_job.pl?rss_job_id=20248214 I would appreciate it if someone whos is good at creating images takes a pop at some better ones. The sizes google require are as follows. An image for each of these would be ideal so that more people can replace their unwanted google ads with them. 728 x 90 Leaderboard 468 x 60 Banner 300 x 250 Medium rectangle 160 x 600 Wide Skyscraper 120 x 600 Skyscraper -- Regards, Harry http://www.hjackson.org http://www.uklug.co.uk

On the right hand side you should be seeing a 160x600 image with some elephants on it. If not try refreshing a couple of times to see if it appears. -- Harry http://www.hjackson.org http://www.uklug.co.uk

If someone tells me the font I will try and do this tonight. I am using Gimp and I was unable to find the font. -- Harry http://www.hjackson.org http://www.uklug.co.uk

In the first batch of graphics there are some zip files with psd's in them.
might be good to grab the font used in there if you can.

I have some logos here, including SVG format: http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/marketing/postgresql-logos/ I wasn't aware of the pgfoundry repository. I wonder why they don't use CVS.

Cool, I have added these into the project. -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL
Robert Treat wrote: > The theory is that more people would find CVS hard to use. The problem with the current setup is twofold: 1. I cannot do a bulk download. 2. There is no version control. If you decide tomorrow that a particular version is no longer needed, it's gone. Therefore, I have to keep my own backups, even if you added my variants to the repository. May I suggest that you put the files into CVS and offer the current versions from the doc manager? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
