FIRST Logo

[GRaduns340]

I don't know what many of you think about this topic, but it quite frustrates me to see teams using the FIRST logo anywhere on their sites in whatever fashion they desire. I will not point out any specific sites because there are many, but please pay attention to the way you use logos (this should apply to sponsors as well, but that's their deal).

FIRST specifically requests that the use of the logo on any media meet the requirements outlined in this PDF file. I have had to make specific accomodations to my designs in the past just to allow for this, and when I see it used improperly I start to think that teams are just getting lazy with their standards. Web developers are not immune to the rules, and if the complaint is adapting the design of the website slightly... how many times last year did your team's engineers have to redesign parts of the robot?

I understand that this requires that the logo be on either a white or black background, and this may look somewhat tacky, but it is a request that has been made and should be honored.
