Klipper logo #822

Closed BKLronin closed 5 years ago

BKLronin commented 6 years ago

Is there any logo already for the firmware? I could possibly make a simple one.

mamoit commented 6 years ago

This would be awesome, I want to put a sticker on my Orange pi case, I just need something to put on the sticker :smile:

Hywelmartin commented 6 years ago

i'm not sure if "Klipper" is some what associated with Clipper(boat type).. but I found this.. grey-ink-sailing-ship-leg-tattoos-1

BKLronin commented 6 years ago

I initially thought about a simple word logo that expresses the heart of klipper with its lines directly. A klipper as minimal graphic would be nice too. Depends on what Kevin might like more. @KevinOConnor

KevinOConnor commented 6 years ago

FYI, @shoreliner proposed this a few months back: artboard 1mdpi

theopensourcerer commented 6 years ago

I prefer the circuit board idea to the ship, but both seem overly complex for a logo.

@KevinOConnor why is Klipper called Klipper?

BKLronin commented 6 years ago

FYI, @shoreliner proposed this a few months back: artboard 1mdpi

Wow, that looks excellent, I would vote for that. I don´t think it will get any better. (I can´t for sure).

frankvdh commented 6 years ago

I like the idea of the clipper ship and the octopus, linking to Octopi. But I think a logo needs to be simpler than the above examples, so I did a search for kraken and clipper, and found the attached, which I think would be a good starting point...

Hi, I think the K looks good but with out the spaghetti and without the second examples white dots surrounding it. regards - bruce

LazaroFilm commented 6 years ago

I was also working on a logo on my spare time. Definitely not finished but since the conversation is going... I was also for the Klipper Ship and Kraken tentacles (note, I did this logo before seeing any of this conversation)

What I like about the imagery is the symbolic, Clipper ships were meant to be fast, really fast, and the tentacles for Octoprint in the background work with the whole theme.

klipper

KevinOConnor commented 6 years ago

@KevinOConnor why is Klipper called Klipper?

There is no particular reason for it. I wanted a name that would be distinct on a web search. I had a few different names I was thinking about (none of which I now remember) and I just choose one.

-Kevin

BKLronin commented 6 years ago

I had somethin clear and edgy in mind. Trying to express precision and fine lines, with a light 80ies touch. Something like this loose sketch. klipperlogosketch

Avalonnw commented 6 years ago

Considering Clipper is a type of (or derivation of) a schooner and a schooner is a beer glass, here is the logo idea: image

Or, rename it to "Project 425"

KevinOConnor commented 5 years ago

Interesting. I don't have any drawing abilities so I don't have much comment to give on a logo. My personal preference of the above would be the "K" logo. Though I agree that the wires outside the "chip" in that logo could be removed.

-Kevin

aeropic commented 5 years ago

k What about something like that with the K symbolizing the hot end and some filament extruded from it ? I must admit I'm not an expert in drawing ;-)

aeropic commented 5 years ago

klip Or this one ?

aeropic commented 5 years ago

No need of boats, sails or tentacles, we need the K of Kevin... Pushing my idea of the K hot end... I propose this one: klipper

Please vote !

theopensourcerer commented 5 years ago

FWIW, I like the idea of using the K like a hot-end/extruder. I am wondering though, for a Logo, do you really need to have the "ipper" as well?

I am thinking of, for example, the logo for KDE, e.g.

https://www.kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/logo-white-blue-source.svg

aeropic commented 5 years ago

@theopensourcerer , a minimal version for you ! minimal

I like it as well, and you're right as a logo it's maybe enough ;-)

theopensourcerer commented 5 years ago

I think we need more feedback and input from others but I for one certainly like the idea.

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

I´m still a fan of the reduced shoreliner version but aeropics idea is essentially nice as well. I minified his version a llittle more. Needs finalizing for sure. minified

mgth commented 5 years ago

I Love the idea of the k hotend, I think the L is too much, maybe something more graphical klipper_logo_study

aeropic commented 5 years ago

@mgth You're right the L is too big. Here is a reduced version klipper_small_l

aeropic commented 5 years ago

@BKLronin , your hot end is flying too high, you'll get poor adhesion of the first layer ;-)

Avalonnw commented 5 years ago

May I suggest just k-hotend without L?

aeropic commented 5 years ago

@Avalonnw Here it is ... Maybe somewhat too minimalist ? k alone

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

I read that as Vlipper on the first glance :D

Avalonnw commented 5 years ago

Good logo should be readable in monochrome. 2 colors are good but if you convert red to black it will be unreadable.

Avalonnw commented 5 years ago

image Or, uglier version: image

KevinOConnor commented 5 years ago

Lots of good ideas!

blaskkaffe commented 5 years ago

I have not had time to try my ideas yet but I think it would be nice to somehow show the separation between processing/scheduling and doing the mechanical work which is the bit thing that makes klipper klipper.

One thought I had was half a brain, half cog/hotend/stepper motor. Alternatively if you guys liked the boat idea a thougt was to have a lighthouse/captain/map and a boat for example. I have done some sketches but will try to make something worth showing :p

Another idea was some kind of rally driver and codriver logo since that would show both speed and the scheduling mechanisms

aeropic commented 5 years ago

@Avalonnw , you're right The black & white or grayscale issue is easy to solve. Either inserting one pixel white around the letter L or painting it into another less saturated color. Or both ! (quick and dirty try, we need to center the L !)

klipper_gray

aeropic commented 5 years ago

we could even play with Kevin's initials ;-) koc

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

Next iteration with some of the ideas integrated. k_lipper

Avalonnw commented 5 years ago

Overloaded with small details IMHO

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

Yes, I had the same impression. Still trying to find out how to express klippers nature with few elements

aeropic commented 5 years ago

I like the idea, but, yeap, somewhat overloaded and if you downsize it, it becomes difficult to understand

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

Reduced reduced

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

Even more evenmore

dragonnn commented 5 years ago

The last one without the squares would be the best.

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

I like the squares, expressing the companion idea between raspi and 8 bit but it would like this. minimal

aeropic commented 5 years ago

Not bad... why not enlarging the "Lipper" to something like k bigger The letters on top of the K should be on a transparent back ground

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

Like this? enlarged

aeropic commented 5 years ago

Yes, left one... Now, just do one witthout the red squares, enlarge the bottom part of the big L so that it fits the width of the other letters, enlarge the "LIPPER" to fill the square and just try to make the parts of the letters PER overlapping the K in white...

aeropic commented 5 years ago

Something like that ... but with bolder letters and the overlapping part of the letters PER in white : klogo

aeropic commented 5 years ago

With Arial rounded bold police k_arial_rounded

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

Like this cutlarger

aeropic commented 5 years ago

It's becoming very good ! Please just try to find a police that is higher and maybe thinner in width to be more balanced with the tall L ... See above the Arial Rounded bold ;-)

And it is working well too in grayscale gray

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

I lik ethe font so far but here some alternatives snapshotfont

aeropic commented 5 years ago

I love the top right one. We can see the deposited filament flowing out of the nozle !

BKLronin commented 5 years ago

Yes, I like that one too, the cut out version will follow. Lets wait for other opinions first :)
