Create a less boring project logo #24
Description
The current logo is a bit... bland?
None of the maintainers are designers, so we picked something that was simple and functional.
Maybe now is a good time to revamp the look a bit and work on a more distinct branding.
Here are some values that the new logo should convey:
- clear
- distinct
- objective
- analytical (heh)
I don't mind if the logo is a bit playful and colorful, but I wouldn't overdo it.
The font should get some more features/ligatures.
Maybe we can work on the icon. Thought about keeping the gear and maybe combining it with a magnifying glass or so.
In any case, it should work in black and white and stay relatively simple.
FWIW I like the Deepsource logo for example.
We can brainstorm ideas here if you like.

How is this one?

hello
what is you're idea about that?
mre commentedon Nov 10, 2020
Hey @thanapoom21 and @trootodon,
great designs and creative ideas; love it!
I'd like to stick a bit closer to the original logo. Other than playing with ligatures a bit or emphasizing some letters like the "y" in "analysis tools", I'd prefer to stick to a not-too-fancy sans-serif font. Hope that's okay. 😅
I iterated a bit on your ideas and the one in #25 by @nancu so far and came up with some alternations.
You can play around with the designs by downloading the file here:

The fonts are just bitmaps because it was faster this way.
Here are the links to the original font files.
Very subtle differences, but I'm a bit of a font nerd. 🤓
We might need a few iterations to find a good combination so any feedback is welcome. 😊
If you find an alternative font (e.g. on Google Fonts), please post a link here and we can consider it.
We can talk about colors and spacing later.

Hey @trootodon,
do you speak persian? If so, here is a translation. Maybe that helps.
I need help with choosing the font and the logo. Which one do you like best in the image above?
K00Rgh commentedon Nov 17, 2020
hi
yes, I speak Persian and I used a translator now I understand a bit more. thanks 😄
I am so sorry but I try realy hard to learn English but I can't stay because I love to help and contribute.
I love the icon logo but what is you're idea about combining logo with font as first letter? or just alone logo. the reasen that I told use logo alone is you can always change the font that you love.
about the font, the choices are too much. I agree with you serif font is better. my love font beetwean those fonts that you chose is IBM

Great!
No worries at all. Your feedback is very welcome.
Good idea. I tried that. It did not look good. Maybe I have to experiment a bit more.
Yes, it's also my favorite at the moment. 👍
