Logo

[XhmikosR]

This is minor of course but we should have a logo so that we add favicons etc

[Johann-S]

That's so true !

I would love to have a logo ❤️

[richardbmx]

@XhmikosR Hi, my name is Richard. I'm a graphic designer and I love making contributions for open source projects. I see that they want a new logo for your application. If you wish, I can do it for you without any problem ... I can present some modern ideas that would improve the appearance and image of your project

[Johann-S]

Hi Richard, it would be a pleasure to see your creations ! 👍

[richardbmx]

@Johann-S perfect, can you give me an explanation of what the project is about

[Johann-S]

Sure, bs-customizer allow you to build a custom version of Bootstrap with just what you need.

As you can see here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/getting-started/introduction/ Bootstrap provide a lot of things for developers, so it's pretty convenient to just pick what you want from Bootstrap

[richardbmx]

@Johann-S Do you have any idea what would be the specific figure that represents your project with ease? Or would you like a design for example of the letter B in a minimalist way and that is your icon for being the initial of the name of your project?

[Johann-S]

Maybe you'll think I'm difficult, but I would like something which looks like the Bootstrap Logo, but a bit different to be easely recognized 😆

The Bootstrap logo: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/assets/img/bootstrap-stack.png

[richardbmx]

@Johann-S Perfect I will work on it

[XhmikosR]

Maybe a cog along with the Bootstrap logo?

[MartijnCuppens]

@richardbmx, the original Bootstrap logo can be downloaded here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/about/brand/#download-mark

[richardbmx]

I present this first idea I am working on other models

[Johann-S]

I like that one :

But I can't wait to see your other models 👍

[richardbmx]

Second model is a more specific design incorporates the letter b in the center of a circle of different layers to give the library function

[richardbmx]

This terser model is a bit more work on the letter b giving a modern and minimalist style that looks very good

[Johann-S]

Wow you did an awesome work @richardbmx thank you !

Finally I prefer the last one in grey 😍 Which one do you prefer @XhmikosR and @MartijnCuppens ?

[MartijnCuppens]

Nice logo's indeed!

But I'm missing the link with Bootstrap a bit, it looks more like a totally new kind of thing. And because you changed the font, I would think BS customiser also adds a theming layer on top of Bootstrap.

Can you maybe make some variations with the Bootstrap logo, maybe with a cog as @XhmikosR suggested?

[XhmikosR]

Yeah, I don't think we need a completely new logo :) We just need the official logo with a cog or something to indicate the customizer part.

[Johann-S]

I think we can have both and we're not part of Bootstrap (here).

So this logo:

But with a cog.

Is it ok for you ?

[Johann-S]

wrong click sorry 😄

[XhmikosR]

We are not part of Bootstrap isn't true ;)

Plus the plan is to make this official later.

[Johann-S]

Finally after a quick discussion, yep we should stick to Bootstrap logo with a cog @richardbmx, because the plan it's to be officially part of Bootstrap organization

[richardbmx]

@Johann-S perfect to use the same Bootstrap logo you need to have the copyright of that logo with permission to modify it that's why I did not use it from the beginning

[XhmikosR]

No need to overcomplicate things with "copyrights" and useless legal stuff when we are the same people who contribute to Bootstrap.

Just get that logo and base your changes on that.

[richardbmx]

Perfect is this what you want?

[Johann-S]

@richardbmx it looks good to me 👍

Any feedbacks ?

/CC @XhmikosR or @MartijnCuppens

[XhmikosR]

Only thing I'd change is rotate the cog like 1 degree to the right so that it doesn't go below the horizontal line.

[MartijnCuppens]

I think the cog also covers a tiny bit of the B (see golden arrow):

[richardbmx]

@MartijnCuppens that can be modified without problems

Here is corrected and I present a fourth alternative that includes the original logo with gear in another position

[Johann-S]

I like that the alternative, it looks like Bootstrap but it shows it's a different project 👍

[Johann-S]

@XhmikosR and @MartijnCuppens which one do you want ?

Personnaly the second one 👍

[XhmikosR]

The ultimate choice is yours, @Johann-S :) That being said the second one does seem better.

[MartijnCuppens]

What @XhmikosR said 😉

[richardbmx]

I am waiting for you to confirm the definitive one to generate the final folder with all the necessary files to use it. Greetings. ;-)

[Johann-S]

It seems we all agree one the second one @richardbmx 👍

[richardbmx]

@Johann-S this is the definitive ??

[Johann-S]

exactly 👍

[richardbmx]

@Johann-S Here I give you the link with all the necessary files to use the logo, inside you find different variations of the logo to be used in different applications as well as the original files to edit them if you need it. Any questions you can write me I am ready for next projects if you wish...

[Johann-S]

Hi @richardbmx thank you for your hardwork ! 👍

I have some little projects but I don't think they will be used a lot, but I'll keep you in touch if I need a logo 👍

[richardbmx]

@Johann-S Perfect it was a pleasure to contribute in your project we will be in contact
