[Community Contest] A logo for Axios

[richiksc]

Axios has grown to become a popular library with over 3 million weekly downloads on npm. I think it's time axios has its own logo, just like many other major libraries out there. I've designed a concept for the logo, and I hope you guys like it.

The logo is based on the concept of request and response. The first one is a square icon/profile picture. The second and third are full logos. These images are not full size, so if you do like them and plan to use them, I can send you the full sized files.

Edit: Should we count 👍 reactions to this parent comment as votes for this logo submission, or just people in favor of a new logo in general? I can make a a second comment for votes for this submission, or we can do a proper poll with strawpoll later when people are done submitting their ideas.

The last one is pretty neat.. 🥇

[pchaganti]

The last one!

Here is a Google Drive link to the full-size files of the last one and a square version for the GitHub organization icon:

[borisBelloc]

I like the last one you made

@richiksc do we have your express permission to use these? We would like to get branding up on the repo and some other places.

[richiksc]

@jasonsaayman Yes you have my permission. If there's any where contributors are listed, is it ok if I am mentioned?

[jasonsaayman]

Thanks @richiksc we will add something like this to the repo's readme or the new site we have in the pipeline. Can you tell me which font you used?

[richiksc]

I used D-DIN Regular from https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/d-din, which is licensed under the SIL Open Font License v1.1.

[jasonsaayman]

Thanks :)

[NotMoni]

Hey guys. Is this logo finalized or can I sumbit a design ?

[jasonsaayman]

@NotMoni sure please submit one :)

[NotMoni]

Here is my first sketch.

I am trying to make it very minimal...

I want to incorporate a rocket somewhere here, which symbolizes speed.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

[jasonsaayman]

I like it. Can you give a version with the 'rocket' would be cool to see cause that would give a fuller idea of what it would look also if you had a icon with just the rocket which is square that would be awesome.

Exited to see what it looks like.

[NotMoni]

@jasonsaayman I will make 3 designs.

1.) Just the rocket.
2.) replace the I in A X I O S with the 🚀
3.) Place the rocket with the name.

Maybe option 2 will make more sense than the other two.

@jasonsaayman Should we make it an 'official' contest, open it up to community submissions for logos, and then hold a community vote to see which logo wins? I'd love to see more people's ideas for an axios logo.

[NotMoni]

Yep, that I am more inclined to do that.

We should pin this issue and people submitted their design here.

[NotMoni]

The picture with the most 👍 wins?

Wow. I didn't know a logo like that existed.

[NotMoni]

Here are the two versions.

I think I should make a better rocket.

** Rocket Straight Up **

Ok cool lets do this. Issue is pinned.

[wowistudio]

Hi guys. Cool ideas. I felt the urge to also hand in a quick sketch. Let me know what you think!

[marsnebulasoup]

@wowistudio - Nice, finally some fresh takes on the arrows 👍. But what's with the nuxt part? Shouldn't the logo for axios focus on just axios?

[wowistudio]

@marsnebulasoup yeah agree. I'm not really into typography, so that's why I took the text of the current logo as an example :).

** Rocket Straight Up **

Maybe a higher font-weight? I like the logo/icon!

[laxman-patel]

love that! higher font-weight could help.

[arcturus-prime]

What about something like this, following the whole "request/response" theme? (probably with some adjustments, particularly the color)

[marsnebulasoup]

@arcturus-prime - Interesting...it gives me sort of Microsoft vibes though, but maybe that's the font family?

[arcturus-prime]

@marsnebulasoup That thought did occur to me as I was reviewing the logo this morning before posting. The colors remind me of Visual Studio Code. Hence, I thought making it a different color might mitigate the "Microsoft" feel. I can try and play with it when I have time.

[rajanbajaj]

feedback are appriciated! thanks

Hi everyone! I may be a bit late to the party, but here's my design:

I love these! Especially the third and the last one!

[codemaster138]

Since the last one seemed kind of janky, I created a revamped version:

[malishahi]

Hi, which logo can I use in my presentation to show that I am using Axios? thanks.

[codemaster138]

@malishahi Hey Mehdi, there is currently no official Axios logo, but since it looks like my Website with the logos I posted above is becoming Official, maybe use this one for now:

If you need an icon, you can use the following:

[malishahi]

hey @codemaster138, thanks for providing logos. Do you have transparent version of these?
cheers, Mehdi

[codemaster138]

@malishahi Yes!

[malishahi]

@codemaster138 thanks.

[agnelnieves]

Not sure if there's an official logo already, but here's a different take on the axios arrows just in case. Even tho the previous submissions look awesome as well!!

[parth7676]

Some ideas...

[codemaster138]

@agnelnieves Wow those look amazing! Do you have some transparent background ones so I can see how they go with the website?

[codemaster138]

@parth7676 Those are cool too, but what do they look like on a white background? I think that desaturated yellow is not quite the right background color for modern projects like axios, as it symbolizes yellowed paper, which would only be cool if you‘re going for a classical vibe, and I (personally; I am not part of the axios team) think that doesn‘t really fit axios as a project

[agnelnieves]

Hey @codemaster138 sure thing, here they are

[jasonsaayman]

Closing as we have a new site and a new logo. Thanks to everyone involved in creating logos and thank you for the time you put in for Axios to have a good brand identity, this is much appreciated!

[mubashirjamali101]

Final it guys!
