Spanish term

logotipo pluma

Spanish to English Art/Literary Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
This text is about the use of a logo and lists the types of logos available. There are colour, greyscale and "pluma". The only difference is that the "pluma" logo seems to be in black and white. Is there another way to translate this other than black & white (a reason they put "pluma" instead of just blanco y negro?)

Versiones del logotipo:

1. Logotipo en color positivo
2. Logotipo en color negativo
3. Logotipo en escala de grises en positivo
4. Logotipo en escala de grises en negativo
5. Logotipo pluma en positivo
6. Logotipo pluma en negativo

Thanks in advance!

line art logo

they mean single-color line art format or version of the image, as opposed to using half-tones, as if drawn with a pen or stylus. By positive and negative they mean the same image inverted, where the whites in the positive image become blacks in the inverted version and viceversa.

"En el sentido tradicional (no digital), una imagen de línea es aquella en la que sólo hay colores (tintas) al 100%. La típica imagen de línea, como la que se ve arriba, es una imagen de líneas y puntos en blanco y negro sin gradaciones de tonos. No hay grises. Sólo negro (tinta al 100%) o blanco (tinta al 0%). Estas imágenes se llaman a veces también "de pluma" porque en cierta época eran trazadas con plumilla o tenían una apariencia similar a la que dejaba una pluma."

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Line art is any image that consists of distinct straight and curved lines placed against a (usually plain) background, without gradations in shade (darkness) or hue (color) to represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects. Line art can use lines of different colors, although line art is usually monochromatic" http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:8bW92fiQnQMJ:en.wikipedi...

"Blacks" and "whites" meaning foreground and background, regardless of color, tint, etc.

B/W logo

In the referenced web page, it is clear that it refers simply to the B/W version of the logo.

Perhaps 'pluma' is an analogy with pluma/featherweight in boxing, in the sense that a B/W logo has the smallest file size of the different types of logo mentioned.

I suggest you opt for clarity and use 'B/W logo'.
