485	Sort out the use of new (2016) EUMETSAT logos	Ian Culverwell	Ian Culverwell	"We need to select a 'good' set of EUMETSAT logos for use in ROPP documents.  The 'official' versions, placed in https://www.dropbox.com/sh/evs6fbtp4opqlew/AAD9PC-htEJzFzX2wySFrzmPa?dl=0, are attached as '''ROM_SAF_Logos.zip'''.

The eps files '''ROMSAF_Name_Colour.eps''' and '''ROMSAF_NoName_Colour.eps''' in this zip file have a lurid green background, but (for unknown reasons) work OK when read into latex (eg see attached '''romsaf_ropp_ov.pdf''').  But these eps files are a bit larger than the previous equivalents ('''ROMSAF_Name_Colour_old.eps''' and '''ROMSAF_noName_Colour_Small_old.eps''' resp.), which means the resulting pdfs are around 50% larger than before.  This doesn't make sense, especially as the new logos are simpler and plainer than the old ones. So we need to do some work on these (eg asking EUM to regenerate them).

DMI's preferred solution is to use the png files '''ROMSAF_Name_Colour.png''' and '''ROMSAF_NoName_Colour.png'''. These work OK in word (and probably powerpoint), but in libreoffice they look scrappy, although they print OK.  According to Professor Google, this is a known issue in libreoffice. The solution is to make a 'non-alpha channel' png file, using
{{{ 
prompt> convert ROMSAF_NoName_Colour.png -alpha deactivate ROMSAF_NoName_Colour2.png
}}}

These 'version 2' files are also attached.  There is no problem except for their white backgrounds, which I can't eliminate.  This means that the header box in an ROPP document, which uses '''ROMSAF_NoName_Colour.png''', needs to be expanded a bit to prevent its boundary being 'tippexed out'.  (The attached 'transparent' and 'white' background files, '''name_T.png''', '''name_white.png''', '''noname_T.png''' and '''noname_white.png''', from Kent, don't solve this, before or after deactivating the alpha channel.)  Word does not suffer the same problem: '''ROMSAF_NoName_Colour.png''' doesn't tippex out the border of the header of the docstats word document.  This is a small problem.
