OSGeo Brand Pack A - Gentle Refresh

This proposal preserves the core OSGeo identity while modernizing the details. The green and teal remain instantly recognizable, but gain depth and warmth. Typography moves to a contemporary geometric sans-serif family that improves screen readability while maintaining the professional gravitas of the original.

What changes: Typography (Plus Jakarta Sans + Inter replaces Miriam Libre + Sintony), slightly warmer/deeper green and teal tones, softer border radii, refined spacing.
What stays: The compass rose logo, green + teal brand axis, gradient direction language, overall visual weight and tone.

Logo evolution suggestion: No changes to the logo itself. Consider adding a subtle thin-line circular border around the compass emblem for use as an app icon or social avatar. The wordmark remains untouched.
