a "works with cats" badge #1807
Comments
proposals, hints, suggestions? Not sure which slogan is the best... I wish we could agree on the version to go on with. After that I do the polishing of the final version, of course. |
Thanks so much! I like "Cats friendly" better. With the Cats hexagon on the left and banner on the right. |
👍 for "Cats friendly". |
👍 cats friendly, but I like using the hexagonal cat vs lambda, which I think is more distinctive (lambda being very generically used across FP). |
Cats friendly + hexagonal cats => 👍 |
+1 for hexagons and "cats friendly" :) If people are interested I could speak to Jenny, the artist for the Scala with Cats book (http://underscore.io/books/scala-with-cats). She's more of a comic book artist and IMO what's needed here is pixel art, but I can have the conversation and see what she says. |
@davegurnell Polishing an icon at the pixel level is what I usually do last. Right now the interpolation is somehow arbitrary and not optimized for being show at this small size. The end result is a more crisp icon, what you maybe expect. Nevertheless: I'd not consider that final icon to be "real" pixel art. |
The design process flows (as usual; at least for me) from top left to right bottom. In the first half of everything I tried a pictographic cat, which I abandoned at some point. I simply tried a few concepts. In the final pieces on the right, especially the bottom-right I tried to visually resolve the dualism between cat and hexagon in a hopefully elegent and simple way by integrating the former into the last - I am sure everyone can see the "abstract hexacon cat". I will wait for feedback and the polish the final piece. |
I forgot: the font is "Lato" http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts |
@kailuowang Does that come close to what you had in mind? |
That looks great @thoefer :) |
Thanks @LukaJCB ! |
@thoefer thanks so much. The polygonal cats logo looks cool. I like it. Maybe we can use it as a new official cats logo? |
I can extract the polycat from the badge, no problem. |
This is great. Is there an action item for the issue? A PR that advertises the sticker on the site somewhere? Putting the SVG into the repo? |
Good idea with adding it to the repo, I'll do that asap. |
Can we agree on that these are the final versions of the badge? I rebuilt the original cats logo from scratch as @non does not seem to have the original version of the logo available. I´ll create a pull request in order to add my svg logo to the repo - this way we have a scalable version of the logo available for any other purpose in the future also. |
Hi @kailuowang I made a PR #2554 that adds the new "cats friendly" badge to the README, do you think this PR addresses this issue as well? |
Thanks @calvinbrown085 !! |
This should be resolved by #2554. |
So that projects that integrate with cats can use.
