decide folder structure

[danbjoseph]

The idea of this repository is to bring together logos the Movement, national societies and partners.
Suggest folder structure:

.
+-- national-societies/
|   +-- USA - American Red Cross/
|   |   +-- README.md 
|   |   +-- ...
+-- ifrc/
|   +-- README.md
|   +-- ifrc-logo-description.png
+-- icrc/
+-- other-organisations/
|   +-- shelter-cluster
|   |   +-- README.md 
|   |   +-- ...
|   +-- missing-maps
|   +-- humanitarian-osm-team

• national society folders would have an alpha 3 country code at the start.
• there are some NS that are technically part of another? for example, Bermuda Red Cross is an overseas branch of British Red Cross? will this affect the above structure?
• The README for an individual folder would contain metadata such as:
  • date of last update
  • name conventions (e.g. "Country Red Cross" or "Red Cross of Country")
  • any particulars about their status
  • preferred logo or use guidelines if more than one version is provided
  • if the file is official (obtained directly from the NS) or not (for example, a vector created from a low-quality jpg)
  • links to any sort of brand standards if available
  • etc.
• Vector/SVG versions will be preferred whenever possible

Maybe for clusters it'd be better to have a common folder 'clusters' for common images and then, within that one, one per cluster when need be? So to follow your example:
+-- other-organisations/
| +-- clusters
| | + shelter-cluster

+1 for the meta data

Depending on the audience/users for this directory, might be nice to have separate folders under NSs for the IFRC regions, as 190 folders if the person doesn't know iso codes is going to be difficult to find what they're looking for. Also, see my somewhat random collection in Dropbox for once you settle on a structure

@ryales - The folders by regions would add an extra layer of complexity. And there's always the chance that the concept of regions changes or the division of countries changes. GitHub has good search functionality, and combined with the national society readme files, finding a society should be easy. I've added instructions to the repository readme https://github.com/IFRCGo/logos#finding-a-logo

@danbjoseph Sounds good. I think the readme is great. Wouldn't be my last day on IFRC contract if I didn't suggest a hierarchical solution where it isn't needed :)
