[t2t] txt2tags logo

[Forgeot Eric]

Hello,

let's discuss a bit on the txt2tags logo.

There are already several logos flying around.

There is the dots on the green background: Loading Image... (1)

The colored dots: Loading Image... (2)

There were also some researches there: Loading Image... (3)

And there too: Loading Image... (4)

I like (1) the most. It's quite "historical" (probably one of the first logos), and I find the green background has a quite strong identity. The problem is it's too wide, and it doesn't fit for example for a file manager icon, or a favicon.

I like the colored dots (2) less. Given the style used, I guess it was the first logo. The colors are quite too brigh, it's too complicated with many colors I think.

There are some ideas with (3), but I personally prefer with the green reference, and the elliptic dot. Also with too many details it becomes complicated.


I also think it's good too have a logo which is both great in color and in black&white.

Therefore I propose to simplify a bit (4), by removing the outline. Here is a new version with 3 variations:

You probably recognised the glider, hackers' logo. With several "hands", it also reminds a bit of Octus, txt2tags' mascott. (We could also make the "legs" thicker)



Please tell me what you think.

I like it, thanks Eric!

Using the glider won't be a problem?

Great. I've updated it slightly, by adding a decentralized dot inside the green dot, so now it looks more like every target is supposed to be unique, and different from the t2t source.

You can see it there: http://wiki.txt2tags.org/index.php/Main/Logo

I've commited the changes on svn, and added mime-type for linux as well.


If necessary, I can still update the logo further to suit your preferences.

I don't think so:

http://www.catb.org/hacker-emblem/

"The glider is not copyrighted or trademarked."

Yet I didn't necessary wanted it to look like the glider at first, but it's a conveniant form, and it's also a cool symbol. I also think it fits well txt2tags' possibilities for hacking texts.

Aurelio verde it's not against you ;-), but I don't like the green too
much. I clearly prefer a black and white logo, because of KISS and
portability.

*Please visualize the next part with fixed size police.*

My prefered logo is the one Aurelio has done for the favicon of
txt2tags.org, because of KISS and symmetry. I use it each time I need
a txt2tags logo. It has a fine ascii-art version :

o o o
\|/
o-*-o
/|\
o o o

About the "glider", I'm not specialy attached to it, but why not. But
for a better "one source" visualization, I prefer it like that :

o
|
*-o
/|\
o o o

I'm not that attached to the green color for the logo, don't worry :)
I also think black and white rocks.
