I’ve noticed that there is a problem in the ClassicPress logo (every version I’ve downloaded).
There are open vectors in the logo end in letters C, a, s and e.
While it’s not a problem when on web or printed, this can cause issues in:
Vectors from https://docs.classicpress.net/press-and-branding/ .
In illustrator you can check with the “info” palette, I don’t remember exactly where but it tells about opened and closed paths. I had a CNC router for a couple of years so for me open paths are a nightmare
Yes, I can imagine broken paths are not great for CNC machines.
I can see what you mean now. I’ve had a look at the icon-white.svg file and I can see the open path.
I thought at first that the problem might just be a glitch in how Illustrator exports to SVG but there are actually open paths in the original Illustrator artwork (although not as pronounced).
There was a small discussion about that in Slack yesterday) This is a proper answer, probably:
Istok Web Regular + letter-spacing (-2-3%) Font-weight is a bit different, but the logo could be created in Illustrator and use different aliasing. Or maybe has a tiny stroke outline to make it look solid
The logo font in general may not be documented at all, as the logo usually goes “as is” and shouldn’t be decomposed. Otherwise it’s too easy to distort kerning and other detailes. And logo font doesn’t need to match typography guildlines rules written for plain text) It’s a separate artwork/asset.
The Knife Tool (or cutter?) seems to work well on letters. Edit: works perfect, 10 opened path resulted in 10 points less, so they were overlapping perfectly!
Before:
Should there be a proper repo somewhere for these files??
EDIT (Sept 24) - just to keep things consistent, I’ve updated the above wetransfer link for logo-white-outllines.ai to now download the updated copy from @Simone as mentioned below.
Great!
There is just an orphan point in the top-right corner of the feather in logo-white-outlines.ai. Here the file… wetransfer isn’t working this morning
