Ah, since GH won't display LFS files, here is the logo with guides, showing the proportions of 蠒:

it is possible to prepare and post "flat" version of the current logo? To see how many changes come from removing the gradients, and how many from changing proportions? |

Wow Juan, a lot of consideration and careful planning went into this. It's mind-blowing and I love it!
looking at the apps I use daily for inspiration, I'd vote not having a sun reflection on the ocean |
LOL @Czaki, I was sitting around this weekend thinking, man I can't be bothered fiddling with that... Then I happened to glance at my mugs shelf, and to my astonishment it was right there!!! 馃槀

I agree that tiling is a nice-to-have, but as you said, the scientific python ecosystem stickers have not really gone with a tile-able standard. Maybe a hexagonal packing sticker standard would be a good SPEC for the scientific python community ;)

I agree it could make sense to separate colors from shapes. However, I think it would be useful to list the RGB colors used for the different parts of the logo for people developing other materials (e.g., posters/slides).

I mean, they'll have the code... 馃槈

People should absolutely just be able to download the logos from a page on napari.org, not be forced to generate them themselves @jni
Here's one example (I think this could be better if it also included a theme for powerpoint and google slides): https://www.dask.org/brand-guide

For me, the flat version of the current logo looks better. But is personal and subjective. |

I like the slightly irregular shape, it feels more organic (like the biology most of us work on). TBH, I'd always assumed it was supposed to be an artist's rendition of a cell undergoing mitosis. Honestly I feel like there's no particular reason to value being able to generate napari's logo from within napari. I think you just really like the idea of that (which is fine!) but there's no advantage in it. Mostly I don't want to spend a lot of time discussing this, so I'm going to mute this thread and won't be available for follow up back & forth. |

No one asked me to be here, but here are my subjective 2 cents: I do like the coloring in the new logo much more, it is brighter and more cheering to me, and the contrast between the background is more comfortable to my eye. The gradient of shade for the lake in the old logo looks dizzy to me for some reason. Maybe alternatively, we can try to find math that generates the old logo or a close match that resembles it? |
|
There haven't been many comments in a while, so I'll probably merge this after 24 hours unless I hear otherwise. |

Thanks @andy-sweet ! There's been a few comments that I'll need to note in the discussion section of the NAP, but I can do that in later PRs. I'll try to make a few more tweaks based on feedback. |

Description
Hi folks! Following a private discussion with the core team, I would like to propose a new logo for napari. The logo tries to keep the shape of the original island, but making it more stylized. It uses the Golden ratio 蠒 for proportions (which results in a lot of cool math 馃槂), and is generated entirely within napari.
The NAP has all of the details. One important aspect is that the proposal is principally about the shape of the logo. I'm completely open to playing around with:
but I'd love it if someone else wanted to play with those. 馃槄
Please read the NAP for details but here is a comparison screenshot:
imho the new version looks more modern and friendly, almost jolly. 馃槂 But, I look forward to your comments! 馃馃槵
