I opened this in an effort to keep things organized and focused. I suggest we discuss submit logos here. I threw this together in 5 minutes but it was just some concepts I had in my head. Obviously waiting for @htcohio and @richardbmx to come up with the polished final product to choose from.

@htcohio i kinda like the 4th one https://imgur.com/mMdn5CI.jpg. The others seem 'to big' for my taste. I'm by no means the one who decides on this, just my 2cts.

htcohio commented Oct 18, 2018

The gif file wouldn't have a black background...

I also have one where the EZ and ez wifibroadcast is capitalized but I kind of thought it looked cleaner all lower case. What do you think?

Either way, some kind of text image combined with Luke's logo would look amazing.

@htcohio I also prefer the 4th.

careyer commented Oct 18, 2018

The 4th one looks best yeah... however I think the Logo should rather be in icon size (simliar to dronebridge). This 1:1 ratio is way better for Avatars, Watermarks, Account images and so on. There can be an extened version which is wider (banner format) but all the relevant stuff should be contained in a Icon ratio (1:1) logo I believe

The idea of a broadcasting tower is good. and also the Wirless waves are nice... however a camera is missing. Maybe we could add a "camera lens" or an "eye" to the middle of the wifi waves? Similar to the eye over the pyramide on the $Dollar note. (#Illuminati)

I actually like Luke's logo, its more graphical and representative, could be worked on a little bit by adding the tittle. I would like to see some of the @richardbmx , I know he is on it.

@htcohio your 4th is my favorite as well. Curious to see what @richardbmx comes up with. As far as doing anything with the logo I threw out there, it is purely concept. Someone with better tools and an eye for that can rework it and add text.

I think hd, ez, flight, radio, wifi, camera, communications are all ideas I hope someone can run with. I have to say I also like the abstract nature of dronebridges logo. Guess I am hoping something jumps out and grabs me!

I would like to present my proposal based on all your ideas I have made this logo that expresses the camera and the Wi-Fi connection very well in addition to this it can be adapted to any background color and size without losing quality. If you want any change you should only ask for it.

Ok let's give yo some more ideas. :) Since we are not only using this for camera but for a lot of other things like telemetry, OnScreenDisplay text, and some control functions. More accent should therefore be made more on the fact that this is an easy over the air solution rather than camera solution. The text should read "EZ-WifiBroadcast " with capital B. Can you think along this lines and . Some inspirations , look at these ones

and then text under or on the side "WifiBroadcast" plus some image to come up with.

Please, can you take a second try and try to incorporate those thouhgts of bortek? I will try to cut the essence in a shot formular: HF-Video + Telemetry + RC-Control ==> EASY!
Maybe this helps! @richardbmx - thank you very very much for your effort!

@RespawnDespair

@richardbmx The level of competence is clear from your designs, i do feel, as the others do, that it does not fully reflect the project. I would confuse it with the camera app on my phone 😄
If you can indeed emphasize the 'HD' and 'EZ' in the logo as well as the 'WiFi' (which you have now). I don't think it's possible to show all the project can do in one logo, but the 'EZ' and 'HD' and 'WiFi' are at the core of everything it does...
It's hard to please everyone, and let me repeat i absolutely love your style!

@richardbmx I like you designs but I think the camera aspect is too prominent and not enough “radio” “transmission” element... Or go more abstract like in @bortek designs. Thanks for the effort! Very nice!

If I had some more image editing software I would play with my logo as @htcohio suggested...

I hope @richardbmx takes another try... From what I have seen on his facebook page he beats us to hell with his skills and his experience in design. I think we must go through different iterations first to make a decision. How is in for that?

P.S: I like the 1st logo as well... but what has EZ-Wifibroadcast to do with a cloud? Looks more like a cloud based service to me. IMHO

I know I'm muddying the waters.. but personally I wish it was just WifiBroadcast and dump the EZ. WBC for short.

Thats the name that befis original project was called and that now too broad and points to quite broad range of the search results. We will need to come up with the new name in the future if we want to.

@htcohio

htcohio commented Oct 19, 2018

@bortek,

I agree, and a new name that incorporates a phrase "By: EZ-WifiBroadcast" or something could still maintain the legacy of the project.

My thoughts on a name change:

1.) I heard comments about this project a few times in the FPV.Blue forums a year prior to picking it up but, the general consensus for long range wireless HD has been "Wifi can never be stable or reliable". It wasn't until fpv.blue stalled out that I started researching further and started to understand the concept of packet injection and monitor mode which helped me understand what made this system unique.

2.) I like to think that I bring that certain point of view as a total beginner who didn't know the first thing about GitHub, what an "image", or Raspberry Pi was for that matter (no making fun of me!!!) lol... I remember being confused at first about what web pages, instructions or projects were correct because web search info for wifibroadcast went back to 2015/2016 and those instructions were more "code/linux" based and outdated. Eventually I found the right page and rcgroups which helped a lot but until that point I never really referred to forums for information.

As you said, it "points to a broad range of search results" and that part has only become more amplified as of today.

Given the new life of the project and proven success, I believe a new, more eye-catching name would only spark new interest into the project while it is still relatively small in comparison to others. Furthermore, this dedicated community of awesome people will work to spread the info and point newcomers in the right direction.

It would be easier to manage a name-change sooner than later when it becomes more popular (which I know it will). I do think the benefits outweigh the (rebranding) drawbacks but, it is certainly worth at least talking about and it could be fun working together to come up with something new :)

@RespawnDespair suggested the name "Open.HD" a little while back which I think perfectly represents what the project is.

Some other ideas for consideration and they could be combined with many other titles/ideas:
-OpenHD
-EZ-HD
-Pi-HD
-Bortek.HD
-AthRalink.HD (name merged from the 2 popular Atheros and RaLink wifi chipsets).
-ClearBroadcast
-Befinitivs-HD

Anyways, there's my 2 cents :)

pilotnbr1 commented Oct 19, 2018

I think at this point @bortek is correct that we should wait on any name change. As of now there is renewed interest and progress on this wiki but we haven’t released any new software. I think we will with everyone’s hard work, but software development is fragile with only a handful of devs actually doing the heavy lifting. I say we get at least one good new release under our belt and then contemplate a name change. We should focus on the roadmap. I get why it would make sense earlier than later but some things need to be incremental, be accepted, and take time and follow the plan... Sorry I brought up a name change :/

I am working on this I am developing different ideas when I have it ready I share greetings.

@richardbmx

I present this second idea that is formed by the union of EZ and WIFI which in my opinion is the main idea of the project, it is a simple and modern minimalist image that helps to be remembered easily and identifies the project. It is important to know that not all the logos express all the functions of the application. The important thing is to make the logo known so that the people to see it know that it belongs to the project.

I will continue working on another proposal when I have it ready, I would like to present it to you, however I would like to know your impression this new proposal

I like the left design. The color change is neutral to me, so either color works for me.

If we do orange then what color does the title text become?

@richardbmx

The title text should be the same color as the one in

bortek commented Oct 21, 2018

Looks good in orange too :) I also vote for the left one. Now about the text. I think it is supposed to be the same orange color so it blends or it could be black too. But what about the text itself? Since the Logo already says EZ then the rest of the text could be WifiBroadcast. Otherwise it reads like EZ EZ-WifiBroadcast. What do you think?

@pilotnbr1
Copy link

@bortek +1. So it should be LOGO - WifiBroadcast ?

@bortek
Copy link
Collaborator

bortek commented Oct 21, 2018

Asked a few people around here how they read/interpret and they think the text should read "LOGO EZ-WifiBroadcats" because people not familiar with project treats the logo (EZ blend ) NOT as two letters but more like an emblem. So perhaps it should be "LOGO EZ-WifiBroadcats"

The title text should be the same color as the one in

@richardbmx Can you clarify about the text color "same color as the one in" ... in what?

We can of course mention you on first page e.g. under the license part. Can we get the source files (SVG or photoshop or whatever editor you use) in case if we need to edit?

@ALL,

I just realized that the orange and blue color is identical to the colors of Dronebridge (orange/blue).

Maybe integrating at least one unique color would be nice.

All 3 looks nice to me but for the sake of choice i take too with blue text. Justin combination of blue-orange is the compatible one for human eye/brain that's why many choose it. 😄
