Logo Design #1
Comments
FWIW the JS logo works well when integrated as a panel on the IPFS cube because it is a square already. Looking at the mockups, IMHO, the rust logo in that same panel won’t be as effective. I think we should also consider if we do really want to establish “logo in panel of the cube” as a convention for other implementations! I really like the crab holding up the IPFS logo above and I like the idea of each impl having it’s own identity...That said, I do agree that we should probably look to incorporate the rust logo rather than the crab for easier brand recognition. |
I like the crab too. It seems the convention in the Rust community is that the R-within-a-gear is the official logo and the crab is a mascot. It's easy for Equilibrium to create more fun + cute illustrations like that one with the crab character helping, being helped by, or just palling around with the IPFS cube in various ways. We could put those in blog posts, for example. They won't be "official," just entertaining. For the logo - honestly, our main driver is that it's PL-approved and that you feel that it's at least cohesive with the other logos. Happy to follow your lead there 👍 |
I like your vision @alanshaw |
@ericronne might 🤯given another crazy iteration of our brand presence though... |
That version looks cool. A slightly lighter tint for the R fill — somewhere between the top and middle versions (in the neighborhood of #79cdd4?) — should increase contrast/legibility without making the R feel too disconnected from the cube. |
@ericronne done - Here's the pack with some sizes and an SVG version: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmRcFsCvTgGrB52UGpp9P2bSDmnYNTAATdRf4NBj8SKf77 |
Will someone please update the github org logo? 🙏 |
@alanshaw Done! @momack2 @ericronne To close out this issue, do we all agree that:
|
Boom! I also recommend that we generate a monochrome (black) version. |
Has anyone checked if we are allowed to use the Rust logo? After a quick search I found rust-lang/rust#11562 which mentions https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/trademarks/policy/ which I then haven't read :) |
@vmx Yes, we checked. See https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/media-guide
Edit: There's also the Trademark clause too, which doesn't apply to us since Rust IPFS is not a "commercial" endeavor. |
In the README section of each repo we should attribute and link to the CC license properly, otherwise I think we're good |
@aphelionz agree this should be the logo until the community comes up with something better. Def feel free to use the crab (he's so cute!) just ideally not in a way that creates confusion about what the logo is ;) |
Awesome! |
This issue stands to track the design work of the Rust IPFS logo from design to ideation.
The elements we'd like to combine are:
Some ideas that have been proposed are below:
