Free Cultural Logo

The logo has been created by Marc Falzon in 2006.

Attempt to recreate the logo

I tried to recreate the official logo with a clean SVG code, with integers for the path definition and scales, I tried to preserve the gradients and colors.

Logo with a different center

This one I like even better

Comparison

There are some differences, the green is off (original on the left)

SVG Source Code

Code of the original logo

Check out the code of the original:

         sodipodi:type="arc" />

and so on, do you know what's going on in there? I don't.

Code of the recreated logo

Here is my code (left out the gradients)

 <defs>
  <!-- three quaters of a circle -->
  <path id="tqc"
   d="M0,0 h54 A54,54 0 1,1 0,-54 z" />
 </defs>

<g stroke="none" >
  <use transform="scale(7) rotate(0)"
   fill="url(#gr)" xlink:href="#tqc"/>

  <use transform="scale(6) rotate(90)"
   fill="url(#go)" xlink:href="#tqc"/>

  <use transform="scale(5) rotate(180)"
   fill="url(#gy)" xlink:href="#tqc"/>

  <use transform="scale(4) rotate(270)"
   fill="url(#gwh)" xlink:href="#tqc"/>

  <use transform="scale(3)"
   fill="url(#ggr)" xlink:href="#tqc"/>

  <use transform="scale(2) rotate(90)"
   fill="url(#gbl)" xlink:href="#tqc"/>
 </g>
 <circle transform="rotate(-90)"
  r="54" fill="url(#lila)"/>

Note that this is the code for all the shapes, whereas the code above shows only a part.
