It would be nice to have a logo. Something that can be used to refer to HackyHour and as avatar for the GitHub organization. It can be very simple as long as it is recognizable. Any suggestions are welcome.

iimog commented 8 years ago

First suggestion using opencliparts:

clock background
baby tux Although the parts of the logo are in the public domain Tux might be protected as a trademark or something. Does anybody know?

The icon of HackyHour Auckland is also very nice: https://uoa-eresearch.github.io/HackyHour/img/hacky.png

Just a rough sketch of my idea to represent Hacky Hour Würzburg. hhwu

iimog commented 8 years ago

This is another suggestion. Comments are very welcome.

The glorious triple-butt.

We need to fix the issue with the font, but I prefer the last suggestion :D

iimog commented 8 years ago

What are your opinions about contacting the Auckland people. As we already use the same name - maybe they'd agree that we can use their logo (maybe with Wü in it). So we can build a global brand :smile:

Hi HackyHour Würzburg! Cam here from Auckland. You are most welcome to use and adapt the hackyhour name and logo we have. The logo is in fact in the public domain :) https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=hackathon&i=6324
Really great to see another HackyHour spring up. We run our sessions in Auckland pretty informally. Some weeks are busy, others not, but do keep going with it - it's a really valuable contribution to intellectual culture on campus.

@cameronmclean, thanks a lot. This is wonderful. I really enjoyed the meet-ups we had so far. In case you ever come anywhere close to Würzburg - let us know and we'll have a special HackyHour :smiley:

@all I'd strongly vote to adopt the nice HackyHour Auckland logo. Feel free to put your "+1" or "-1" as reaction to this comment.

iimog commented 8 years ago

So here are two suggestions feel free to complain or make your own suggestion:

Update 1: converted font to path - the one we used is likely not available on all systems
Update 2: fonts still not showing correctly as images are cached by github
Update 3: also not working, sorry - deleted the new comment again
Update 4: tricked caching by changing raw.git.com to rawgithub.com - now the font is fixed I'll try it with a new comment.

This is the daytime logo 1pm: This is the nighttime logo 1am:

Warum zwei :D

iimog commented 8 years ago

I fixed the font in the logos above. @greatfireball maybe you want to reconsider your confused emoji - in case it was because of the font...

nterhoeven commented 8 years ago

The light one is easier to understand from a distance/as a small logo. I am voting for this version

iimog commented 8 years ago

We have a logo :smiley:
