[Promo] Official Quart logo

[koddr]

Hi, @pgjones

I want to start this disqus because it's important to promotion and visual identity. Good Python framework need good visual stuff! So, I have some ideas about official Quart logo and give you them for free :) Look please.

Handwritten logo

Font: Amarillo (this's a paid font, but I already bought it)
Color: RGB 214, 11, 82 (HEX #d60b52)

Literal with text

Font: Lifehack Basic (this's a paid font, but I already bought it) + Open Sans (or similar)
Color: RGB 45, 46, 131 (HEX #2d2e83) + similar dark color, like #333333

Thanks @koddr, these are a really nice start. Ideally I would like the logo to reference the bottle theme Python web frameworks have going, for example Flask has a flask,

and Bottle has a bottle

So could you incorporate a Quart glass somehow?

Also how would you propose licensing the logo? A creative commons or similar to Flask?

[koddr]

Oh, I understand what you mean as Quart:

The quart (abbreviation qt.) is an English unit of volume equal to a quarter gallon. It is divided into two pints or four cups. Historically, the exact size of the quart has varied with the different values of gallons over time and in reference to different commodities. Presently, three kinds of quarts remain in use: the liquid quart and dry quart of the US customary system and the imperial quart of the British imperial system. All are roughly equal to one metric liter.

So, can you give me more words for more associates?

[pgjones]

Oh right, I thought it was a distinct bottle type as well (rather than just a volume), that said the name is distinctive. In which case maybe a bottle (ideally that looks like it holds a quart :p), that looks good is good enough?

@pgjones: Also how would you propose licensing the logo?

CC + my GitHub account name at supporters page (or just add me to contributors this repository). I help you, because I wish in your framework and want to make Python experience better.. Not only Django and Flask/Bottle — Python World needs async hero 👍

So, I make some sketches with bottle (and around). Look please!

First version

Boring, but I start with it. Bottle with flash say to us it's bottle with some Attention — A.

Second version

Like chemical library, where are programmers like alchemists, mixing poisons in glasses. Yes, u at this logo is a glass with one quart.

Third version

And third version, who I love and strongly promote.

This is looks like Flask fonts and give us to understand what's the quart means?, because 1 quart equal 0.9 litre (and we're assuming: full bottle on logo hold one litre, but it's not full — because hold a quart now).

The bung on top of bottle makes it clear — this is production ready Python framework with speed more than Flask, but Flask-like — all in one pack!. Get, open (equal install) and use it!

Unstable liquid's state in bottle give us to understand — this liquid is reactivity, like new async features on Python and HTTP/2. And some aggressive gradient's color of liquid say to us hey, I'm alive and can help you to improve yourself... just use me!.

I use classical old English print font, call IM FELL English (CC license) and chemical bottle from some Halloween's icon pack from my own collection (paid)... with more improved elements by myself.

...color style:

...and grayscale (need some work, but it's first sketch):

[pgjones]

I agree with you and also really like the third logo, and the reasoning :). I'm working on a merge request with the logo, license (CC0 ok?) and attribution so we can start using it - which I'll add here (hopefully tomorrow).

On a practical note, Do you also have a svg version of the logo?

[koddr]

@pgjones great 👍 of cause I give you all formats of logo and guide style comments. CC0 is good.

I have another good idea. We are can create official GitHub organization (for example, Quart-Python) and transfer to here Quart core, design/logo guide style, some extensions and docs/site source for rapidly editing with community. All of this is the separate repositories, for best managing and issue reaction.

Similar way is already using by aiohttp/bottle projects and many more Python Web frameworks.

If you have not paid GitHub account for create organization — don’t worry, I have this stuff, create org and get you boss status.

[pgjones]

Ok, so I've opened this merge request https://gitlab.com/pgjones/quart/merge_requests/4 please can you take a look?

I think it is too early for an organisation, so far there is as yet too small a community working on Quart to make it worth while. Thanks for the suggestion and offer though :).

[koddr]

@pgjones I placed all logo's stuff to this repository: https://github.com/koddr/quart-logo

I think it is too early for an organisation, so far there is as yet too small a community working on Quart to make it worth while.

I understand you, but better sooner than later in this matter :)

For more community interesting — Quart needs more benchmarks (and faster's count about 5-10% or more against any Python popular framework — is good score). Also, big deal is articles on Medium with holy wars titles, like Faster than Tornado, but friendly like Flask or something else.

In 2017/18, Python community wants async everywhere, but Django/Flask/Bottle is stick in synchro... and no idea how to work with asyncio. Quart helps, but community wants more info and examples!

Great I've merged and provided links to your repo. Thanks again.
