This is a copycat of the crowdsource polling for a DADA2 logo that has generated some awesome suggestions and prototypes.

Would love to see user suggestions / examples!

Cheers

Joey

@spholmes I think you had at least one prototype... :)

Hi,
I think the logo should show one of the strengths of phyloseq (in my humble opinion), which is the integration of all data into one easy-user-friendly package (i.e. otus, taxonomy and metadata) :)

What do you think about these rough concepts?

phyloseq_logo_1_DS.pdf

I don't think it does a great job communicating phyloseq's functionality(as @sfeds suggested), but I do think it is simple enough to scale well.

My other idea was to use the tips of either the "Y" or the "E" to evoke a sense of integrating multiple datasets. I couldn't think of a good way to illustrate taxonomy without using another tree or a (visually boring) table of taxonomic levels, but here is my attempt to play off the "phylo" and the "seq".

phyloseq_logo_2_DS.pdf

I could add circles to the tips of either tree to represent samples or metadata. In both cases, you'll probably want a better tree structure, but these were just images I had on hand.

Do you have any preferences in terms of capitalization? Or color pallets?

I'm not sure who owns this image, but I really think it would work well here.

I ran into someone, Anjile An at Columbia, at the RStudio::conf(2020) that drafted a really great version-1 sticker, IMO:

phyloseq

I'm thinking of sending to sticker mule and having some printed. Let me know if you want the .ai format for tweaking.

@spholmes I thought you might like the Stanford Cardinal red O:-) It took some arm-twisting, as the creator is a Cal alum!
I do also quite like the earlier one you posted with the cube and the wiggly tree inside. We might be able to get her to take a crack at that one to simplify enough to work in a tiny hex sticker. I'll ask her on twiiter: @anjile_an

Looks great, yes I will tweak maybe this weekend, maybe more Wes Anderson colors?

I am fine with other colors, though. I like the Wes Anderson palette.
