Nice! At a glance, 3 & 7 are my favourites, though I guess some of the others need the colour to make them work. I was hoping to see something inspired by the Galileo sketches. :-) |
these are looking great, I'm glad my tittle comment got incorporated into 6! |
3, 6, and 7 are my favorites |
Great work! Here are some comments on each design: 1 and 2: I think there is potential to use the surface features of Jupiter (bands, spot, colors) and I like how these sketches use that. I don't think embeded "J" works very well though. Part of the issue is that a circle is such a strong shape for a logo - some of that strength is lost in these 3: a lot that works well here. I like the all caps "JUPYTER" sans-serif. The planet and moons have a really nice balance between being somewhat abstract, but still nodding strongly to the planet/moon idea. Hinting at the circle of the planet using the upper and lower slivers is really nice - clear but delicate. The placement of the moons is great. I would like to see this one with the "JUPYTER" text larger and to the right of the logo. 4: There is potential here and I really like the concept behind it. I think having the text on top of the planet is too busy though. Maybe a version with the text to the right? I think that this one will probably need some full color prototypes to see how it turns out. 5: I think the concept has potential here and it the treatment of the "J" doesn't interrupt the circle as in 1-2. Not as strong as the others. 6: I like the idea of this font - alot. Could you create a version with the same basic font, but thinner strokes to create a finer, more sophisticated look? I think we could even use some of the other planet ideas from your other design and Galileo's drawings as well. 7: The treatment of the planet and moons with the line is clean, balanced, simple and elegant. Really like that. I again like the all-caps sans-serif JUPYTER. A few things to iterate on:
|
Everyone - it would help @awantulok to iterate if you can given details about what specific things you like about each design and what things are not working as well. Knowing which designs you like is important, but a simple "like/don't like" isn't specific enough to fuel the next iterations. |
@fperez can you review these logo sketch prototypes that Adrienne has done? |
@awantulok when you include Illustrator files (that is fine) can you also export to png and commit those - that way we can see results in the github pull request. |
What types of color schemes are each of them? Analogous? Triad? Complementary? etc? I like how the color scheme of Option 1 uses some of the colors in the color photos of Jupiter. I don't think the second color of Option 3 works, but the others are nice. Maybe try some color schemes with more blues? |
I feel like 2 is actually an even better design on paper, but it is hard to see. Would you be willing to make the lines darker on this one? Right now 3 is my favorite, likely because it is minimalistic, clean, and would work well in black and white or color. It also seems more futuristic and abstract, tending well to a computational project rather than purely astrophysics. |

Great, thank you all for your feedback!! I'll start working on some beginning digital versions so we can also start looking at fonts, as well as work on some variations. |
I'm with Thomas here, 3 & 7. @awantulok, did you have a look at the logo on the talk when I made the Jupyter announcement? It's a small variation on the one in the homepage that @ellisonbg had originally created. I chose those small changes for a couple of reasons:
Just some ideas... Thanks for this work, very excited to see us move forward on a good visual identity! |
Design 1, 3, and 3a are great. If we decide to explore design 3a more, I'd like to see what straight lines look like instead of wavy lines. The prominent lines on Jupiter appear straight to me (ignoring the smaller details), I'm looking at the following http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/Jupiter_by_Cassini-Huygens.jpg . |
Also, what does 1 look like with a lighter weighting, both on the font and the tilted parenthesis? I like the weighting of 2a through 3a... Also, why the arbitrary spacing between the logo and text characters 1a-2a (see below)? I'd like to see what that would look like with either uniformly wide spacing or narrow spacing. |
Great feedback @jdfreder !! |
One last question, wouldn't 3 to 3a look strange as a favicon (the little browser icon)? I would think that they would minify poorly (which is unfortunate, seeing that they look so nice!). Do you have any ideas of how to create minis of those that would look nice? |
@jdfreder Good point. I didn't think about that when creating it. I will work on some ideas on how/if it could work as a favicon. |
Great! On 1 and 1a, I an wondering if we want the axis of the larger two moons to be more horizontal. 2 and 2a. I think the swirls suggest more of a galaxy type shape than a planet, so not sure that works.
3a. I agree with @jdfreder that it would be nice to see a version with straight lines through the planet. I am wondering if the "planet with lines" could also be used as square logo my itself, or in the 3a type design. |
While I don't think that 4 is working as it is now, I do think there is significant potential in this idea. Some things to try:
|
These are looking great! My favorites are 1 and 3a. I agree with @jdfreder, it would be nice to see prototype 1 with lighter weight font (like in 3 and 3a). My fear with 1 is that the icon without the title "Jupyter" would look empty to me. There would be a large blank space in the middle of the icon, and it might look like something is missing. This would force us to include the name every time we use the logo. What I like about 3a is that the center planet (jupiter) is a recognizable icon by itself (dropping the moons and title). This can be shown in the favicon or anywhere that we are limited on space, and users will associate it with Jupyter, the focus of the project. We are not limited to using the entire logo here. I think 4 looks really unique and modern; however, it doesn't incorporate the moons of Jupiter that point to the three languages. Perhaps, making the planet more circular and adding some moons would help? |
I totally understand what you all are saying about the previous Prototype 4. It does lose the "Jupiter" feel. However, if it is a path you want me to explore further, I can definitely continue to work on some different versions. |
Also, something that I was thinking about when I put "Jupyter" in the planet (Prototypes 2,3,4) was that the crescent shapes are over the "PYT", giving the "IPython" part a subtle "special place". |
Thanks for the update, @awantulok I'd be interested to see a serif typeface as well as mixed case versions of the text portions. the "PYT" portion actually looks like it's getting too much emphasis for me, and I'd prefer the U and E to be centered on the edges of the crescents to tighten up that spacing. The conventional shortening for Python is "py", so emphasizing "PYT" is not compelling in this case, IMO. Also, is there a digital version of 6 in the works? @jdfreder @ellisonbg and I all liked it. |
Thanks @ivanov that is helpful to keep in mind! I will work on version 6 as well. Forgot about that one! |
@awantulok I definitely agree that the slanted version (2 and 2a of the latest) is better than the horizontal version. The horizontal version reminds me of an eye... I was staring at design 1 (of the latest) for the longest time, with an off feeling. I couldn't quite pin what it was, but looking closer, the dust lines appear to be at a very slight angle relative to the horizontal line. I hope I'm not being too nit-picky by asking this, could we see what it would look like if the dust lines were parallel to the horizontal line? That and/or if they were at an exaggerated angle relative to it? EDIT: I still like the undecorated version you post earlier the most :) - prototype 3 from the early digital batch. |
That sounds like a great idea! Perhaps having the meeting friday would be better, allowing people a few days to look over the designs and make their decisions. I will work on mocking those things up. Thank you! |
Sounds good. Unless too many people have a bad conflict, let's go with Friday 10am PST. |
Friday works for me... my choices: I am with you about diagonal with the J inside always, and drop the moon for small sizes... now if we need a version horizontal with the |

Summary of my thoughts at this point:
|
OK I think this is probably ready. Can you post an image of the final logo design here for the record? |
I know you are going to kill me - but is there a gradient on the moons? On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 4:38 PM, Adrienne Wantulok notifications@github.com
Brian E. Granger |
I can't unsee chompy. |
Hmm, I like the moons without the gradient, but not sure if I like them On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 5:34 PM, Kyle Kelley notifications@github.com
Brian E. Granger |
Awesome !
Yes, please let's do Chompy plushes ! |
Consensus seems to be on no-gradient. Merging, yay! |
If the consensus is no gradient, why is the version merged with gradient ? |
Can we also have the font added to the repo, or at least the name of the font ? |
Shoot, I had updated the wrong file. The correct one should now be there. Sorry about that! |
Adrienne did you actually push to github or just update the Dropbox? The On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 9:20 AM, Adrienne Wantulok <notifications@github.com
Brian E. Granger |
@ellisonbg I pushed to Github and updated the dropbox as well. |
OK, but I don't think that actually update the main github repo - only your On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 11:09 AM, Adrienne Wantulok <

Ok. Sorry about that! |
No problem, I don't think there is any issue with what you did - sorry On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 11:19 AM, Adrienne Wantulok <

Yeah, I suppose github is not the best tool for design files. As long as the file are safe we trust you :-) For the record font was Myriad Pro. |
Prototype 1:
"J" of "Jupyter" created in the negative space of planet and moons. Could stand alone as logo, as well as have type alongside it.
Prototype 2:
Similarly with prototype 1, the J is revealed in the planet but doesn't include moons.
Prototype 3:
More abstract representation of jupiter and its moons. Clean and simple logo with san serif "Jupyter" (still deciding which font to use). The type can easily be separated from the planet and used on its own.
Prototype 4:
A very abstract representation of planet jupiter. Based on the idea that IPython (Jupyter) is a place where multiple people come together and contribute, the shape is created by multiple pieces coming together. Through the use of color, the shape would have an almost 3D shape and feel to it.
Prototype 5:
Again, based off the idea of multiple ideas and parts contributing to a single piece, this logo would show different layers pulling back and revealing the "J" in "Jupyter".
Prototype 6:
Pretty self explanatory, but a unique font (maybe hand-drawn) would be used to created the name "Jupyter" with the planet being used as the dot. The two could also be used independently from each other.
Prototype 7:
Based off of drawings of jupiter from Galileo. Super minimalistic and clean, but both pieces could work beautifully apart from each other.
