Proposal of icons for .ipynb files #1968
Conversation
A few random thoughts, in no particular direction:
*"Projects and companies that use Python are encouraged to incorporate the Python logo on their websites, brochures, packaging, and elsewhere to indicate suitability for use with Python or implementation in Python." (Source) Here's a rough alternative layout - it could simplify down to a document with just the I don't like that that design is entirely symbolic, though - there's no suggestion of code or results. Then I tried for a more descriptive idea, but I don't know how to make it clear that code is involved. Also, the Python logo got pushed out: (Obviously both of these ideas are quick drafts to explore what we want, not remotely a finished product.) |
cool logos. I'm ok with leaving just IP[y] without ipynb, although we have As for the Python logo - the IPython notebook can now be used for R and octave work, so at some level and for some people, the Python side of things is just an 'implementation detail' :) What about just |
I like to have
:-)
I think Do you remember the font used by current logo BTW ? |
I like that for tiny icons! I wouldn't mind having those square brackets in the main logo
Notebookium! I like it.
Droid Sans Mono - found it in the |
Importance of Cloud: I don't really think it's a property of the file format. Increasingly, I can upload any file to the cloud and work on it. Should .odt files have a cloud symbol because I can use them in Google Docs? And it's also common to use a notebook file purely on your local machine, which makes the cloud symbol somewhat confusing. Icon themes: Sorry, I just meant do we want to have different icons for the major platforms? They'd have the same elements but with subtle differences so they blend in. Anyway, we can worry about that once we've got a good design. Involvement of 'code' in the icon: Plenty of files can include images/plots, though. .doc can do that. What makes ipynb special is that it combines that with code that you can run. IP[y]/Nb - not bad! Could we try it with the two parts more equal in size? How about the Nb in blue&yellow? And what would it reduce to at 16*16? |
Yes, I know it was me, just wasn't able to find it (and my memory is faulty between the day my laptop was stolen, and the previous backup...)
I did extrapolate :-)
I'll try ... (just need to ssh through n firewall, to get back the files...) (and sorry posted to fast, damned ) |
I think I do as well. The 16x16 ones should probably just be "Nb" without the "IP[y]" at the top |
Yep, I think testbb is the best, but I agree with Paul about the 16*16 one. |
I think that looks good. |
I think that's looking pretty solid - let's get more opinions. |
I think at the very least the font should match what we have in the existing logo. The dipping y is pretty unpleasant, spilling out of an otherwise fairly clean rectangle. |
if we're really doing design by committee, hehe, I think the spacing between the two letters 'Nb' is too great and should be decreased. But I'm pretty happy with any of these. |
Ah, nice catch I used the save svg as the Qtconsole, and didn't saw the font was the wrong one.
Not quite sure I understand when translating (is this how is called the small folded corner ?), It is common metaphor to distinguish document files from other types of files.
It 's the fond default , but I guess for 2 characters it can easily be fixed. |
An important part of the text in the notebook logo is that the tail of the 'y' aligns with the baseline of the text, and does not dip (significantly) below. The text in these icons, on the other hand, has a curvy y, which dips well below the baseline. Compare your icon: with the relevant section in the notebook: I will concede that the Droid Sans Mono font we use for the current notebook logo is a pretty ugly one, but it at least has this one nice feature for our purposes. |
Oh, that is |
fixed, above images should have been updated. I applied the python blue gradient also to |
force push, this also fix the qtconsole icon to use correct font and alignement for |
Do you guys think we can put this in for 0.13? Since it's not code it's kind of low risk, and we can always rethink this for a redesign in the 0.14 timeframe... |
I think it's fine to include this in 0.13 - I'm still not super happy about some of it (N,b not being the same height is pretty annoying), but there's no harm in including this now, and tweaking it further in the future. |
BTW, because this PR deals with image files, it's the one case where I'd prefer to rebase it into a single commit that only has the final versions. There's no point in keeping all the intermediate revisions of the images in the history, is there? They will remain available in this discussion for reference in case we want to go back over something from a previous version. |
Sorry guys only have my smartphone for a few days, will do what i can as
|
That's the font, and How it is in Notebook Header...
Thats already the case.
Yes it is not a single commit but there are no intermediate version, the embeded version in this PR direcly linked a non-rebased branch of my repository. |
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I didn't scan the commits one-by-one and thought they had more history than this. In light of this and the above discussion, I'm merging it now. We can work on it further during the 0.14 cycle, but it will be a good base for discussion. Thanks for your patience, @Carreau ! |
First draft of icons for .ipynb files. Contains 3 svgs, 2pngs, an icns icon file for mac, and a Info.plist.example with instruction on how to used it to "install" the icon for Mac OSX.
No problem, even I did forget that I had already rebased to do so :-) |

Just a proposal to have icons for
.ipynb
files, even if the files are not cliquable yet...Large icon, with lots of details
Smaller, and simpler one for list view (I'm thinking of removing the paper sheet beneath this one)
And a screenshot of what it looks like
the PR contain 3
svg
s, 2png
s, anicns
icon file for mac, and aInfo.plist.example
with instruction on how to used it to "install" the icon for mac os.I guess this will change from PR full of code, unless you want to read the svgs....
