Geometry Logo Contest [Draft]

[jedahan]

Geometry deserves a logo!

Submit logo designs by replying to this issue, one comment per submission.

Vote on logos by reacting with 👍, all other reactions will be ignored.

We will be closed for submissions and votes on April 24th, 00:00 UTC.

If the top voted logo has 50% more votes than second place, we will use that.

Otherwise, @fribmendes, @desyncr and @jedahan will decide between the top 3 submissions.

Everyone who contributes a submission will be thanked in our readme.

[jedahan]

I wrote this to start a discussion. We can decide when to really open it for submissions and how to announce it.

[frm]

I temporarily added a very simple logo to the organization, but if any suggestions come along we're up for it 😄

[MarioRicalde]

I can work on this.

[MarioRicalde]

I'm going to make some proposals and post them here, and then we can pick it up.

[MarioRicalde]

@jedahan @justmendes here's one.

[MarioRicalde]

I did this super quickly so it's pretty much a draft still, but let me know if you like the direction. Based it off the one we currently have thanks to @jedahan .

Cheers.

[MarioRicalde]

@justmendes @jedahan any feedback here? should it be geometry.zsh ?

[jedahan]

I love the colors, capitalization, and overlapping triangles. I think it also allows for derivatives that make sense in different contexts if we really want (like a smaller flat version, etc).

i wish i could be more critical but its quite beautiful

[jedahan]

maybe experimenting with fonts that are more geomrtric like where the O is a perfect circle?

[MarioRicalde]

@jedahan thank you for the positive feedback, do we want to keep using monospaced fonts or any font fits as long as it's the O as a perfect circle?

[jedahan]

i love the yellow its bright and sun-like

maybe trying a different colorscheme from blue/red if it's a bit similar to google play? like instead of red/blue up top a purple?

i hope this is useful feedback but im mostly stretching

[frm]

I love the details of having the sides of the larger triangle with different colours to give a "3D impression", so to speak. Love the overlap as well.

Agree with @jedahan regarding the colorscheme.

I'd go for a monospace font, personally. They're related to code, by nature. But don't overthink it too much. I'd prefer if we had a version without any text as well. For the GitHub org and stuff like that, where the text doesn't really matter that much or is hard to read.

[jedahan]

Is the current font monospace? I like its look regardless, and am happy for us to have non-monospace font, as there is plenty of monospace in other reading materials and tech projects.
Really I see this version as a banner for our readme. Would be interested in seeing how this would fit, for example, as the geometry-zsh organization icon, with and without geometry text.

[MarioRicalde]

I'm going to do a bit of work on this, I'm a bit limited on time today, but here's the link where I'm working on it. If you want a live version, just click on it.

[MarioRicalde]

Thanks for the feedback. The font I was using above was monospaced. I believe it was Fira? Regardless, I prefer non-monospace fonts for what we have here, because I like that slick look we get from non-monospaced fonts.

If you guys are sold on the colors on the above, I can make all the assets we need. README, Org Image, etc. Just let me know any sizes you want.

[MarioRicalde]

@jedahan @justmendes Thoughts?

[MarioRicalde]

I like the contrast that comes from the accented background.

[MarioRicalde]

[MarioRicalde]

And my last proposal for now. Awaiting feedback.

[jedahan]

Great changes!
I like the background glow of the last one a lot.
As far as the new font goes, does it look alright in a heavier weight like the original?
Either way the main assets I can think of are a text-less version for the geometry-zsh org, and a header version for the readme.

[MarioRicalde]

@jedahan thoughts? :)

[jedahan]

Beautiful, ship it!

[MarioRicalde]

Shipped, here's the zip and previews geometry.zip

[frm]

This is awesome! Thanks! Updating the org.

[MarioRicalde]

@frm do you reckon I could get some love in the README for the logo? That'd be great! Just a mention to my github would be good. Thank you!

[jedahan]

@MarioRicalde credit applied! Sorry we didn't have this in sooner!

[MarioRicalde]

@jedahan thank you! Happy holidays!
