Not only does the logo suck, the whole brochure looks horrible. Seriously people! It looks so bad! Next time put a call out for people skilled in making these things to do it.

I think the logo is nice as almost everthing in the pdf.
But what is that building pixelized (bad redimensioned) with a text over it?
ich! sucks big time ;)

For the rest, looks good and professional, even cited brazilian use of KDE in the computer for all campain, congrats!

Whatever happened to constructive criticism, eh?

Yes, this brochure isn't the pinnacle of corporation PR but I saw much, much worse examples.

What is bad with this brochure:

- "sponsorship brochure" should be better aligned for "faux banner" effect, not only rotated a bit but also transformed like trapezoid to give impression of perspective - compare it with wall of building
- lack of margins on pages - texts like space. Give me room! At least 10% on left and right and 15% top/bottom. And this is minimum. To fill room on extra pages add some photos of happy developers, maybe personal intro with photo by organizator or KDE eV head
- scrap bolding in first chapters or use it with consequence - better get rid of it
- shadows in subtitles look strange. May be KPDF fault.
- paragraph separation; margin, use it everywhere and with consequence, eg. on page 7 first section doesn't use margins, third - there is *big* margin
- Attendees (*cough* proofreading? *cough*) by _country_ and you are listing continents... Attendees by region, it is.
- "sponsorship packages" table - first column - margins again
- strange borders on first and last page: first black borders with white on top, last white edges except of top
- don't know where is Sint-Katelijne-Waver, comparing eg to Brussels?

Logo I like :)

Note: I probably couldn't create something like this brochure from scratch but I know what I like when I see it (and when don't like ;)

Actually, I think it's great! Obviously your statement is false simply bacause you are stating opinion as fact.

Andre, IMHO you are a FHB.
