Show me the world

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 10:13:42 AM

When you're a young logo, you just want to do the little things right, like fitting on Web pages, on brochures. You know, the basics.

But as you grow up, you acquire the freedom to do new things. People put you in all sorts of interesting and new places. You may not believe it, but it's exciting to be a logo.

The old Opera logo went all over the world. From the seas, to the mountain tops, and everywhere in between. Now it's my turn. I'm setting out on my own adventure...

Since I don't have a passport or a bus ticket, I need your help. Just print me out and take me places. I'm a good traveling companion. I'm quiet. I won't steal your food. I always clean up after myself.

Post a picture of me on one of our adventures and let the folks at Opera know in the comments. I know there are rewards for those who help out, so let's get going. My bags are packed:

Could it be a B/W logo? I just have a b/w laser printer here.

If you want to print the Opera Logo pretty big (larger than A4), use the CMYK Logo Kit.

If you wish to print it A4-size or smaller, go with the JPG Logo.

I'm sure that would be fine! You could print out the Outline Version and colour it in yourself!

Not sure I'll be printing the logo, but I'd definitely buy an Opera sticker for my laptop if they existed (I know, I could print my own.. but it wouldn't be very high quality.)

tranced # Tuesday, February 16, 2010 2:46:18 PM

@Matt Cox : alright. I don't have a red crayon/pencil neither

I'm pretty sure this isn't a photo manipulation challenge.

We're actually hoping people will print the logo and take it around.

The reason the photo in the official post doesn't look photoshopped is that it wasn't. We took the logo out and will be taking it around Oslo in the coming days.

Aravindaravindkrd # Tuesday, February 16, 2010 3:48:55 PM

I thought this was the idea.. Should try printing out one before my next tour...

On my way to work with Opera logo.

Find out more images of Opera logo's journey in Tampere tagged with Opera logo

EDIT: I first had the Opera logo just printed on paper, but it's so damn windy today. I had to return back home and glue the logo on cardboard

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Wednesday, February 17, 2010 9:39:13 AM

Updated the post with the first real visit! Thanks Serola, for taking the Opera logo out to see the world! Be sure to check out the news update too.

Thanks Serola!

I've taken the Opera logo to my University in Poznan, Poland. This is the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. Hope the logo enjoyed the trip

You more or less already did it by implicitly mentioning you have photos. But lets make it in better way. Go to one of your photos like this one: http://my.opera.com/Glootech/albums/showpic.dml?album=2160891&picture=29421041

Then on right margin you have codes displayed, which you can copy paste into your post here. Do that for your all photos in same post or mention you have more photos on that album.

EDIT: Oh, you just edited your post Adam (Glootech). That's just fine as well

Glootech # Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:51:59 PM

Edited it multiple times, but finally got it right. Thanks again for your help Serola!

Sami Serolaserola # Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:57:06 PM

You are welcome Adam http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Yes.gif -
